Plastic Surgeon

Plastic surgery focuses on restoring, reconstructing or altering a part or parts of the human body. Plastic surgeons work and collaborate with aesthetic surgery, cosmetic surgery (eg liposuction, body contouring and rhinoplasty), craniofacial surgery, hand surgery and microsurgery. Treatment of thermal and chemical burns also requires plastic surgery.

A plastic surgeon works on conditions such as thermal burns, chemical burns, correction of congenital malformations of the face, the abdomen and other parts of the body. Liposuction and rhinoplasty are important procedures undertaken by most plastic surgeons. The aim of liposuction is to reshape certain body parts by removing excess fat while rhinoplasty seeks to reshape the nose.

Other popular plastic surgery procedures requested by individuals that are dissatisfied with their appearances are blepharoplasty, breast augmentation or breast implant, facelift, fat grafting or ‘tummy tuck’.
