What is Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery?

Plastic Surgery is a term used for any surgical procedure that is performed to correct, improve or enhance a person’s appearance or to reconstruct any physical deformity that may be present since birth or acquired later. Plastic surgery not only focuses on correcting physical deformities but focuses on functional deformities as well. 

Cosmetic Surgery, on the other hand, is a type of plastic surgery that specifically aims at improving physical appearance, or achieving the desired look. The goal of the surgery is solely aesthetic and it can be performed on various different parts of the body, by voluntary choice. 

Types of Plastic Surgeries:

Burn Repair Surgery - This involves various reconstructive procedures that are performed after the initial wounds have healed, so as to restore normal function and improve the appearance of the affected area. 

Hand Surgery - It is an umbrella term used for the entire gamut of surgical interventions that aim at restoring the structural and functional appearance of the hand that may be affected by a congenital defect, injury, underlying degenerative disease or infections. 

Breast Reconstruction - The procedure is recommended for women post-mastectomy, which refers to the surgical removal of breasts. This is usually done to treat breast cancer. The aim of the surgery is to re-build the shape and size of the breasts

Congenital Defect Repair - This involves complex surgical interventions that aim at correcting structural birth defects so as to improve the appearance and restore function. The procedure may be performed on any area of the body.

Reconstruction of Lower Extremities - Lower extremities refer to any area of the body that lies between the hips and toes. These can be affected by congenital defects or any deformities caused by an injury, trauma or underlying ailment. Reconstruction surgery may be recommended to correct such malformations and deformities.

Types of Cosmetic Surgeries: 

Some common Cosmetic Surgery procedures include:

Breast Augmentation - Also referred to as augmentation mammoplasty, the procedure aims at enhancing the shape and size of the breasts and may involve the use of special implants. It may be done to increase or decrease the size of the breasts, correct asymmetry or adjust breast size post-pregnancy.

Facelift - It is an option for all those women who wish to bid adieu to the physical signs of ageing that are evident on the skin. These include wrinkles, drooping and sagging of the face. Flaps of skin from either side of the face are pulled back to tighten the skin. The same procedure may be done for the neck as well. The procedure is known as a neck lift. 

Hair Transplant - A hair transplant is an option for those who are experiencing severe hair loss or baldness. It is a permanent solution and involves the transplantation of your own hair into the thinned areas of the scalp. The results are usually evident within 6 to 9 months.

Tummy Tuck - If you want to get rid of loose abdominal skin, a tummy tuck might be an option for you. The surgical intervention is performed with the aim of tightening the skin around the belly by making an incision along the bikini line. The procedure is often done along with liposuction. 

Rhinoplasty - It is a surgical procedure that aims at enhancing the appearance of the nose and may also help to improve breathing. It is also referred to as a nose job or nose reshaping and works by modifying or repositioning the nasal bone or cartilage. 

Liposuction - It is a surgical intervention that uses a suction technique to remove fat from difficult spots like thighs, buttocks, arms, neck and lower belly. It can be quite hard to remove fat and tone these areas. Liposuction is a safe and easy way to do it. 

Lip Augmentation - It is a cosmetic intervention that helps to improve the appearance of the lips with the help of special fillers. It is a globally recognized procedure for restoring the size of lips, correcting the shape of lips and getting rid of wrinkles.

Dermabrasion - It is a skin resurfacing procedure that aims at removing the upper, damaged layer of the skin with the help of a special rotating device. The procedure is widely recommended for treating fine lines, scars, spots and wrinkles.

FAQ'S

What is the difference between plastic and cosmetic surgery?

Plastic surgery refers to any surgical operation undertaken to rectify, improve, or enhance a person's appearance or to reconstruct any physical abnormality that occurred at birth or was acquired subsequently. Plastic surgery corrects both physical and functional abnormalities. Cosmetic surgery, on the other hand, is a sort of plastic surgery that focuses on improving one's physical appearance or achieving the desired look. The surgery's main purpose is cosmetic, and it can be performed on any region of the body at the patient's discretion.

What are the signs that I’m a good candidate for plastic surgery?

Good general health. Expectations for results are realistic. A steady weight (for body sculpting operations). A non-smoker or willing to quit prior to and following surgery.

Are there any painful procedures in plastic surgery?

Plastic surgery techniques, like other surgical procedures, might cause some discomfort in the immediate postoperative term. Pain drugs, on the other hand, are readily managed and are well tolerated by the majority of patients.

Is it safe to undergo plastic and cosmetic surgeries?

Both are quite safe when performed by qualified, board-certified surgeons in accredited institutions. However, there are dangers associated with any medical surgery, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and anesthetic issues.

How much do cosmetic and plastic surgeries cost?

Plastic surgery expenses are determined by a variety of factors, including the length of the procedure, the use of implants, anesthesia costs, surgeon fees, and the length of the hospital stay. It also depends on where the surgery is being performed. The cost of the procedure will rise if the surgery lasts longer. During the preoperative consultation, an estimate of the procedure's cost can be provided.

Are there any long-term side effects from cosmetic surgery?

Surgery is the manipulation of living tissues. In some circumstances, implants are used to improve the appearance. The implants are chosen only after they have passed thorough testing and been proven to be safe. In most situations, the body adjusts to the implant, producing pleasant results. They can occasionally experience reactions such as extrusion, exposure, or substantial capsule formation. With correct practice, these incidents can be reduced to a minimum. Scar tissue formation is typical during surgical procedures. Individuals who are predisposed to noticeable scar production can improve the appearance of their scars.

Is it possible to have surgery without scarring?

No. Scar formation is a natural part of the healing process. In elective surgery, it is determined by the surgical technique and the patient's innate scarring features. Although it is impossible to change an individual's scarring tendency, several techniques can help us achieve desirable scars.

What are the benefits of having plastic surgery?

Plastic surgery focuses on the appearance (aesthetics) and function of a body part. Restoration of both helps an individual's body image, self-esteem, and confidence level. Plastic surgery is a very personal decision, as are the advantages.

When can I return to work after undergoing plastic surgery?

It depends on the technique. Dermabrasion, mole removal, scar revision, dimple creation, botox, and filler injections are office procedures that allow patients to return home quickly and resume work the following day. In the case of more severe daycare operations, we recommend resting for a few days even if the patient returns home the same day or the next. Patients can return to work in a week and resume high-intensity activities in 4-8 weeks. As a result, the procedure used determines the outcome.

How long do surgeries typically take?

Minor procedures (e.g., lip fillers, Botox) last 15-60 minutes. Medium operations (e.g., rhinoplasty, liposuction) last 1-3 hours. Major surgeries (e.g., stomach tuck, facelift) last 4-8 hours.

What can I expect during the consultation?

Discuss your goals and medical history. Examine the treatment region. An explanation of potential procedures, risks, and rewards. Cost breakdown and recovery schedule.

Can scars left after a procedure be treated?

Yes. We usually recommend massage and moisturizing. Silicone sheets are indicated for people who are prone to having visible scars. Pressure garments are occasionally recommended for people with hypertrophic scars.

What can I expect after surgery?

Swelling, bruising, and slight discomfort are typical. Follow-up consultations are needed. Full recuperation and final results may take weeks or months.

Is it necessary to undertake any precautions before a plastic surgery procedure?

It is beneficial to focus on specific aspects. Some of these include: discontinuing the usage of herbal supplements for three weeks before the procedure, and discontinuing the use of platelet-thinning medications for one week before surgery; Elective surgeries are normally postponed until any signs of infection have been removed, and you should stop smoking at least 2 to 3 weeks before the procedure.

What should I eat following surgery?

A healthy, nutrient-rich diet helps recovery, such as protein helps repair tissues. Fruits and vegetables are high in vitamins, which promote healing. Hydration prevents dehydration and promotes overall health.
