Cosmetic or plastic surgery is performed to enhance a healthy, functioning part of the body. Reconstructive surgery is surgery used to correct traumatic injuries, congenital defects or the body after disease. The primary purpose of reconstruction is to return function to the body, but the surgery usually improves the quality of life and appearance of the patient in cases of trauma and congenital defects.

Re-constructive surgery, say you had an accident and your hand got crushed, most of the muscles and skin tissue will be damaged or missing so it will have to be re-constructed, so re-constructive surgery will fix this.. hope this helps..
