Understanding the Difference Between Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery

Cosmetic Surgery is a specialized field of medicine that aims to enhance a person’s appearance through various surgical and medical techniques. It can be performed on different parts of the head, neck, breast, and body. Since treated areas typically function properly but lack aesthetic appeal, Cosmetic Surgery is considered elective.

On the other hand, Plastic Surgery is a surgical specialty focused on reconstructing facial and body defects caused by birth disorders, trauma, burns, and diseases. Its primary goal is to correct dysfunctional body areas, making it reconstructive.

To help patients understand these distinctions and make informed decisions, the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS) has created a comprehensive patient education brochure. This resource clarifies common misconceptions about Cosmetic Surgery, addresses issues of board certification, and explains the field's multidisciplinary nature. AACS strongly recommends reviewing this brochure to make well-informed choices regarding cosmetic surgery and selecting a qualified Cosmetic Surgeon.
