Who is a Cosmetic Surgeon?

Cosmetic surgeon is a doctor who focuses on enhancing appearance through surgical and medical techniques. Cosmetic surgery can be performed on all areas of the head, neck and body. Because treated areas function properly but lack aesthetic appeal, cosmetic surgery is elective.

Plastic surgery is defined as a surgical specialty dedicated to reconstruction of facial and body defects due to birth disorders, trauma, burns, and disease. Plastic surgery is intended to correct dysfunctional areas of the body and is reconstructive in nature.

Cosmetic surgeons can perform a wide range of procedures to reshape structures of the body and to alter a person’s appearance. Like any form of surgery, cosmetic procedures need a specialist surgeon trained in the procedure, including appropriate recovery time, healing and proper care. Risks include problems related to anaesthesia and surgery, excessive bleeding, infection, scarring and failure to heal.

To have deep expertise in cosmetic surgery, one needs to undergo a 2-year programme of general training and 2 years of surgical training in a hospital. Some cosmetic surgeons can also opt for 6 years of specialist training
