    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.
