Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery is a branch of medicine, the importance of which has risen in importance in the last decade. In particular, it deals with correcting and improving the physical appearance by acting on certain defects or imperfections of the body.

The cosmetic surgeon is therefore responsible for re-establishing the harmony of the body in total respect of the patients' physiognomy to obtain results that are constantly natural and pleasant.

The growing interest in the world of cosmetic surgery can be traced back to the increased relevance that beauty and image have in modern society, but not only that: the continuous research to combat the signs of time also has, without a shadow of a doubt, its weight.

There is often a tendency to create confusion between cosmetic and plastic surgery, so let's clarify the substantial difference.

01

Plastic surgery includes reconstructive and aesthetic surgery and has the aim of remedying, eliminating or correcting congenital malformations and organic lesions.

02

Cosmetic surgery is a branch of plastic surgery that has an exclusively cosmetic purpose, that is, it modifies the form, but not the functions.

03

Finally, reconstructive surgery deals with remedying pathological situations that require partial or total reconstructive surgery.

04

A peculiarity of cosmetic surgery is that its operations can be performed by surgeons regardless of their plastic specialization.
