Why "Plastic" Surgery?

Plastic comes from the word plastikos, meaning "to mold or shape." Plastic surgeons are trained to reshape or mold the skin and supporting tissue. In reconstructive procedures, the goal is to replace or reform tissue lost or unusually shaped due to injury or disease. In cosmetic procedures, the goal is create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Looking Good, Feeling Great

Plastic surgery is increasing in popularity because of its ability to positively impact the self-image and self-esteem of patients. Both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures strive to give patients a natural look that can help them live their lives more fully. Reconstructive procedures also seek to restore function.
