The word plastic comes from the Greek plastikos, which means to mold or to give form. Plastic surgery enables us to mold or reform the human body. The plastic surgery specialty encompasses both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery which is popularly referred to as cosmetic surgery. Reconstructive surgery restores or improves physical function and minimizes disfigurement from accidents, disease, or birth defects. Aesthetic surgery, while not essential to physical health, can make a significant contribution to emotional well—being by improving the appearance of normal body features and enhancing self—image.
Statistics show that each year, hundreds of thousands of people choose aesthetic plastic surgery to enhance a particular feature or reduce the visible signs of aging. In recent years, aesthetic surgery has grown in popularity among both women and men.
The ideal candidate for aesthetic plastic surgery is an individual who recognizes a specific area in which his or her appearance could be improved and has a strong personal desire to make a change. Many people choose aesthetic surgery to give themselves added confidence in the workplace, a psychological boost after a lifestyle change or simply to help them look as young as they feel.
Whatever your reasons for choosing aesthetic plastic surgery, it is important to have realistic expectations. Often, improving a feature of your face or body will make you feel good about yourself,and that can have a positive impact in many areas of your life. Having aesthetic surgery is not, however, a guarantee of happiness or better relationships with others. Surgery can enhance your appearance; the rest is up to you.
