Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
What is Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery?
Plastic and reconstructive surgery is a surgical department that works to eliminate the deformities caused by congenital or acquired anomalies and to have a better-looking shape for the body image. For example; cleft palate-lip, adhered finger, vascular masses; burns caused by trauma, facial injuries as a result of traffic accidents, chronic wounds, etc. are within the scope of this surgical discipline. Because aesthetic surgeries are more common in the media, the question of whether aesthetic and plastic surgery is the same comes to mind among the public, and the two are generally used synonymously. However, plastic and reconstructive surgery is performed for repair purposes and is at least as common as aesthetic procedures.
By plastic surgery, all kinds of cavities and deformities on the face and body are tried to be repaired with healthy tissues. It is an important rule to choose the simplest and least harmful methods for repair in these operations.
What is Aesthetic Surgery?

This is the difference between aesthetic surgery and plastic surgery. Today, due to increasing aesthetic concerns, more people apply to these surgeries than in the past.
Regardless of whether it is for aesthetic or medical purposes, every operation should be performed by experienced physicians in order to avoid any medical, ethical or forensic problems afterwards. In addition, the aesthetic plastic surgery center where the operation will be performed is very important.
