The number of people having cosmetic or reconstructive plastic surgery has grown significantly in recent years. In fact, in 2008, plastic surgeons performed more than 12 million cosmetic procedures and almost 5 million reconstructive procedures.
Cosmetic Surgery
Cosmetic surgery is for people looking to improve their appearance through body contouring procedures such as breast lifts or liposuction, facial cosmetic procedures such as rhinoplasty (nose surgery) or facelifts, or non-invasive procedures such as Botox or collagen injections.
Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive plastic surgery is for people who are trying to restore a normal appearance to the face or body due to birth defects, trauma, infection or disease such as breast cancer.
