Plastic surgery is a medical speciality that uses both surgical and non surgical procedures to change the appearance and/or function of a person’s body. Reconstructive surgery deals with the reconstruction of facial and body tissue that requires reshaping or remolding, due to disease, a defect or disorder, in inorder to approximate a normal appearance or to repair working ability. Different from reconstructive surgery, cosmetic surgery is performed to repair or reshape otherwise normal structures of the body or face, primarily to improve the patient’s appearance and self-esteem.
The St. Raphael Private Hospital offers both reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery.
