Comprehensive Guide to Plastic Surgery: From Reconstructive to Cosmetic Procedures

Comprehensive Guide to Plastic Surgery

What Is Plastic Surgery?

Plastic surgery, a specialized medical field focused on enhancing and restoring facial and bodily appearances, addresses physical defects or deformities across various areas like skin, craniofacial and maxillofacial structures, hands, breasts, and the trunk. It is divided into two mn categories: reconstructive plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures.

Reconstructive Plastic Surgery: This type of surgery repr imprments caused by birth conditions, injuries, medical issues, or trauma. The primary goal here is to improve quality of life for patients by addressing functional limitations and restoring the natural appearance of affected body parts. Common reconstructive surgeries include breast reconstruction post-mastectomy and skin grafts for burn treatment.

Cosmetic Procedures: Cosmetic surgery encompasses modifications and enhancements to one's physical features med at improving appearance. It often tackles signs of aging and unwanted fat, with procedures such as breast augmentation, liposuction, facelifts, eyelifts, rhinoplasty nose reshaping, and abdominoplasty being widely performed.

Who Are Plastic Surgeons?

A plastic surgeon specializes in enhancing physical appearance or function through reconstructive surgery and cosmetic enhancements. They are doctors who can address conditions resulting from illnesses, injuries, burns, congenital abnormalities, as well as perform aesthetic procedures.

The Ministry of Health's Specialist Accreditation Board grants accreditation to qualified surgeons who fulfill their standards for plastic surgery trning, skills proficiency, and ethical conduct. Singapore-based MOH-accredited plastic surgeons undergo extensive trning, including the Joint Committee on Advanced Specialist Trning Exit Certification process, ensuring patients receive care from approved, skilled professionals.
