Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is a relatively new specialty in medical history. Greek term plastos means formed and molded. Plastic and Reconstructive surgery repairs or reconstructs the damaged or missing parts of the body.
Appearance of our face plays an important role in our social life. At the beginning Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery born to treat disfigured faces (mostly punishment or combat victims).
