Surgery Place

Many of us are often confused if the words cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery mean the same. They are related terms and are used interchangeably, however, they are not the same. Let us understand the difference between Cosmetic Vs Plastic Surgery.

Plastic surgery is a surgical super specialty. It encompasses both, reconstructive procedures (plastic surgery proper) and aesthetic procedures (cosmetic surgeries).

While, Cosmetic surgery focuses on improving the appearance or looks of a person, in the absence of a medical condition that would warrant surgery. Its main aim is to make its client (not patient) more aesthetically appealing, enhancing symmetry and proportions. Since Cosmetic Surgery is not medically indicated, these procedures are always elective, meaning, it depends upon the client who demands it.
