Cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve appearance and self-esteem. Cosmetic surgery is usually not covered by health insurance because it is elective.
Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease. In general, reconstructive surgery is performed to improve function, but may also be completed to approximate a normal appearance.
Aesthetic surgery, popularly known as cosmetic surgery, seeks to improve an individual's appearance. While the operations may not be necessary for physical health or safety, they may benefit the patient emotionally and psychologically, as well as aesthetically. The operations usually involve the nose, ears, face, eyelids, breasts, abdomen, and loose skin folds of the thighs.
Small hair-bearing segments of the scalp can be transferred as free grafts to other areas of the scalp where they will usually continue to grow hair similar to the hair in the area from which they are taken. In baldness, hair-bearing skin from the back and sides of the scalp is used to reestablish a hairline at the forehead. There must of course be enough hair to cover the area where hair is needed.
When performed by an experienced and reputable surgeon who takes time to confirm that you are a candidate for the procedure you desire, plastic surgery is quite safe. The most significant measure patients can take in ensuring their own safety is to choose an experienced, well-qualified plastic surgeon who is operating in a good facility.
