What is Plastic Surgery?

Plastic surgery is a field that requires at least six years of residency after attending a medical school. Its philosophy is centered on the idea that a person’s image can be damaged by nature, aging or toxins, thus, affecting his or her confidence and aura. It simply aims to improve the person’s self-image through enhancement of what is already normal and beautiful.

Plastic surgery covers both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. The actual procedure of plastic surgery is geared towards enhancing the patient’s face and body to become proportional, young and fresh-looking. A successful procedure will never look “made up” and unnatural, rather it will provide a new and refreshing perspective on beauty.

The extensive training of a plastic surgeon allows him or her to properly plan the procedure and fully understand the artistry of the field. Plastic surgery is 80% planning and 20% execution. Similar to an artist, a plastic surgeon must first visualize the work he is about to embark before execution.

We encourage you to choose a surgeon with an extensive training and experience. A good deal must not be based on the cost but on the choice of surgeon which is the most critical factor of a successful procedure.
