Plastic and reconstructive surgery is a branch of medicine that specializes in the correction, restoration, and improvement of body tissues or structures. The main goal of this field is not only to enhance appearance but also to restore the function of body parts affected by injury, disease, or congenital defects.

Reconstructive surgery focuses on repairing body parts that have been damaged or have lost function, such as reconstruction after cancer treatment, trauma, or burns. On the other hand, aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery focuses on improving appearance, such as facial reconstruction, anti-aging treatments, or other procedures that enhance self-confidence.
