PLASTIC SURGERY AND RECONSTRUCTION
Reconstructive plastic surgery is done to correct facial and body abnormalities caused by birth defects, injury, disease, or aging. Usually, the goal of reconstructive plastic surgery is to improve body function. But reconstructive plastic surgery may also be done to create a more normal appearance and improve self-esteem (this may also be called cosmetic surgery). Some types of plastic surgery may be reconstructive, cosmetic, or both. For instance, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) may be done to improve how your eyes look. But it can also be done to fix eyelids that are drooping severely and blocking vision.
