Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body.
It can be divided into two main categories: reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery.
Reconstructive surgery includes craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns.
Plastic surgery training involves a broad scope of procedures to restore the body's normal appearance and function, where cosmetic surgery training focuses exclusively on aesthetic procedures.
