Plastic Surgery

Aesthetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve the patient’s appearance and self-esteem.” Reconstructive surgery can be defined as surgery “performed on abnormal structures of the body, caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease. The surgery is generally performed to enhance function, but it may also be done to approximate a normal appearance”. The line between pure aesthetic surgery or pure reconstructive surgery can be difficult to delineate as the modern plastic surgeon incorporates both domains in his or her work! At Vitalife Medipoint Hospital, we practice an inbuilt element of functional correction to improve one’s appearance.
