1. plastic surgery

   Plastic surgery is a specialized branch of medicine primarily concerned with the repair, reconstruction, restoration, or alteration of the human body parts. It can be divided into two broad categories: cosmetic surgery, aimed at enhancing aesthetic appearance, and reconstructive surgery, focused on restoring normal function and appearance after accident, injury, disease or birth defects. The term plastic in plastic surgery derives from the Greek word "plastikos," meaning to mold or shape, and does not relate to the synthetic plastic materials.
