Plastic surgery is so much more than cosmetic surgery. While cosmetic surgery is probably the most visible aspect of plastic surgery, it is a comparatively small part of the specialty. Plastic surgery might be used not only to improve a person's look but also to restore a patient's appearance after an accident or recovery from cancer or another disease. A plastic surgeon may work on any area of the body.

Plastic surgeons do not own disease as cancer doctors do. They are trained to work all over the body on all types of diseases and frequently coordinate with other physicians in a multi-disciplinary group.

They know how to transfer tissues from one part of the body to another, manage critical wounds, and use implantable materials like plastic or metal.

When a patient visits a clinic for the first consultation, the surgeon will do a thorough examination. Then, the doctor will ask some questions and review the patient’s detailed medical history. This will include an assessment of the tests and scans the patient might have had beforehand. The surgeon can then develop a treatment strategy that suits the patient.

At the first appointment, the plastic surgeon will talk to the patient about treatment options. The oncologist will tell which ones are available at present, what the side effects may be, and how effective they are. Then the specialist will recommend a course and then suggest when the surgery could be performed.
