Plastic surgery is a branch of medicine focused on repairing, reconstructing, or altering body tissues to improve function, aesthetics, or both. It plays a significant role in enhancing quality of life by addressing physical and psychological aspects.
Plastic surgery aesthetic procedures are generally suitable for people who want to feel better about themselves and want to correct or improve a specific aesthetic problem. However, it is important to consult with a surgeon as each patient is different.
Before the aesthetic surgery procedure, the person should have a detailed interview with the doctor about his/her health history, current health status, expectations and risks. In addition, precautions such as quitting habits such as smoking and performing necessary laboratory tests should be taken before surgery.
After aesthetic surgery, it is important to follow the doctor’s instructions carefully. Measures such as rest, wound care and regular use of recommended medications should be taken to speed up the healing process. It may also be necessary to limit physical activities and pay attention to possible signs of complications. Protection from sunlight and limiting physical activities can also help the healing process.
Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery uses surgical and non-surgical techniques to correct or improve body deformities or cosmetic problems. These include reconstructive surgery (e.g. post-burn reconstruction), aesthetic surgery (e.g. breast augmentation, rhinoplasty), body contouring procedures (e.g. liposuction) and facial rejuvenation.
