What are the most common types of plastic surgery?

Cosmetic Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery is a branch of surgery that aims to correct or reconstruct and restore the functionality of organs or apparatuses morphologically altered due to degenerative diseases, deformative pathologies, trauma, injuries, or congenital malformations. The objective of plastic surgery is to restore a normal appearance to the anatomical part that is affected.

Another important branch of plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery, is used to correct damage caused by accidents and diseases that alter the patient's physical appearance.

Its task is also to restore the functionality of certain parts of the body. The reconstruction process essentially and in most cases involves taking skin flaps from other parts of the body to reconstruct the damaged parts.

Cosmetic surgery is a branch of plastic surgery that aims to modify and improve the appearance of certain areas of the human body through targeted surgical intervention. Cosmetic plastic surgery therefore mainly serves to eliminate physical defects, in part or in whole, so that the patient can gain confidence and self-assurance. The person feels comfortable and, consequently, insecurities are reduced and they can face life more serenely.

Reconstructive Surgery

Reconstructive surgery makes it possible to correct all lesions at the level of the skin, muscles, and covers noble tissues such as bones and joints. In particular, reconstructive surgery reconstitutes the continuity of the body's protective envelope, which is essentially the skin. In addition, this particular branch of plastic surgery makes it possible to correct malformations, whether congenital or acquired, craniofacial malformations, facial paralysis, numerous syndromes with multiple malformations, angiomas and vascular malformations, as well as the results of the removal of soft tissue tumors. Reconstructive surgery also helps to improve scars from burns, previous operations, and trauma (it should be noted that a scar is a subjective process of skin repair, the quality of which cannot be predicted, and which can therefore be of good or poor quality). We are talking about improvement and not resolution, because (those who have experienced it know) a scar cannot be erased, but many of its negative effects can be, for example, a burn can lead to difficulty moving the arm, with a series of small interventions we can restore satisfactory function, but not by erasing the scars, only by replacing them with others (which will be of good or bad quality depending on how the subject heals).

Choosing a good cosmetic surgeon

When it comes to operations that can leave permanent marks, one can never be too cautious. This is why you are always looking for the best cosmetic surgeon, perhaps by doing research on the web or asking your friends and family.

What you certainly need is the hand of a competent and reliable doctor, who can advise you and create the right compromise between expectations and reality.

Very often, personal dissatisfaction can create a desire for extreme bodily improvement.

The best cosmetic surgeon is therefore the doctor who will be able to guide patients in order to obtain a natural result that conforms to their morphology in the case of operations such as breast augmentation.

Experience, confidence and professionalism are the main characteristics that determine whether a professional in this field is one of the best cosmetic surgeons on the market.

Here are some tips for choosing the best cosmetic surgeon:

• First, make sure that the doctors you are contacting are qualified cosmetic surgeons. Entrusting yourself to a professional specializing in plastic surgery is of fundamental importance in terms of competence, reliability, precision, foresight, and potential management of complications;
• Another thing not to underestimate is to check if it is possible to consult the professional's curriculum vitae online: you will be able to find the highlights of their educational and professional background and thus know who you are trusting;
• Check scientific publications: questioning one's own experiences on the scientific stages of national and international congresses and meetings gives the surgeon the opportunity to verify their own experiences and theories and to receive the so-called "scientific validation" of other authoritative international specialists;
• Be wary if you can't find any information about them!
• Always make sure that the facilities where the cosmetic surgeon works are up to standard, or that they are private facilities equipped with all the services and professional figures that may be necessary to guarantee the patient's well-being;
• When entrusting yourself to a plastic surgeon, it is necessary to establish a relationship based on empathy. Don't be afraid to confide your fears, dissatisfactions, and desires. Yes, almost like love at first sight: if the cosmetic surgeon inspires confidence, it can only be a plus;
• Don't rely on three-dimensional simulation programs: Advanced technologies and new-generation software can be very useful in helping you imagine the final result of an operation, but at the same time, simulation programs and "doctored" photos often create false expectations about the final result. Try to explain to the surgeon what you want and determine together what you can achieve and what you cannot;
• A good tool for understanding whether the chosen doctor is a specialist with recognized human qualities is customer reviews on social networks. Customer satisfaction comes first!
• Check if the healthcare professional is also registered with one or all of the major plastic surgery societies;
