"Plastic Surgery" (textbook)

Plastic surgery is a specialized branch of medicine focused on repairing, reconstructing, or altering the human body. It encompasses two main areas: reconstructive surgery, which aims to restore function and appearance after injury, illness, or congenital defects, and aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery, which enhances physical appearance for cosmetic purposes. Common procedures include breast augmentation, facelifts, and skin grafts. The goal of plastic surgery is to improve both the function and aesthetics of patients, helping them achieve a better quality of life and self-image. It requires extensive training and a deep understanding of human anatomy.
