What is Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery?
Plastic surgery includes two main types:
- Reconstructive procedures restore function and appearance after an injury, illness, or congenital condition.
- Cosmetic procedures enhance appearance through elective procedures.
Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery is about restoring comfort, confidence, and function. For example:
- After breast cancer treatment, some women may find it difficult or uncomfortable to wear a bra. Breast reconstruction can help restore shape and ease.
- Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome can cause pain and numbness that interfere with daily life. Reconstructive procedures can relieve symptoms and improve hand function.
Who It’s For
- Patients recovering from cancer
- Individuals with physical impairments
- People needing functional restoration
