What is the difference between aesthetic plastic surgery and reconstructive plastic surgery?
Aesthetic plastic surgery is performed on a normal body part in order to enhance or change its appearance. Many people find that plastic surgery can improve their self-esteem and give them a more positive body image. Reconstructive surgery is performed on a body part that is abnormal because of birth defects, trauma, developmental difficulties, infection, cancer, or other disease. It is often performed to restore or improve function to the affected body part but may also be done for physical appearance reasons as well.
