Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery is a form of plastic surgery in which the doctor performs surgery on a patient strictly to improve the aesthetic look of that patient. The use of surgery to enhance one’s look has been around since the 1800’s however, a recent explosion in technology and popularity has seen plastic surgery procedures increase by more than 50 percent in the last 10 years. Much of the increased popularity can be attributed to the lowering of risk factors through ever increasing innovations in the field. In addition, procedures that once required major operations are now being performed endoscopically requiring far less recovery time.

Choosing a surgeon to perform plastic surgery can sometimes be a difficult task. The best place to start is to look for a board certified plastic surgeon. Board certification requires additional training for a doctor in a particular field of medicine, in this case plastic or plastic surgery.
