What does a plastic surgeon do?

A plastic surgeon is the surgical specialist who corrects aesthetic or physical alterations to improve facial and body harmony. They work with both healthy patients who wish to enhance a specific feature and with patients who have congenital or acquired deformities.

Why might you be referred to a plastic surgeon?

A referral is made when there is an aesthetic or physical alteration that requires surgical assessment. This may be due to malformations present from birth, the consequences of trauma, scars, or physical changes associated with ageing.

When should you see a plastic surgeon?

When you wish to improve a specific physical feature or when there is a physical or aesthetic alteration that affects personal appearance. It may also be appropriate when there are deformities following illness, accidents or ageing processes. Each year, millions of people worldwide consult a plastic surgeon for reconstructive or aesthetic reasons, according to international organisations such as the WHO. It may be reasonable to seek advice if there are physical changes, discomfort or aspects that cause ongoing concern and persist over time or affect daily life. Seeking specialist advice is part of routine care for both health and body image.

Why choose a plastic surgeon?

Because they are the specialist trained to assess overall facial and body harmony and to treat congenital or acquired deformities, as well as aesthetic concerns, using both medical and surgical approaches.

What conditions does a specialist in plastic surgery treat?

Hair loss (alopecia) Amputation Wrinkles Skin cancer Scars Lymphoedema
