Sydney Institute of Plastic Surgery

Contrary to its name, plastic surgery does not involve the use of plastics during surgery.

The word plastic is taken from a Greek word that simply means ‘moulding’ or ‘giving form’.



Plastic surgery generally can be divided into two types:



Reconstructive surgery- surgery to improve function or minimize disfigurement that has

occurred as a result of an accident, disease or birth defect.



Aesthetic or cosmetic, surgery- designed to improve a person’s appearance by reshaping

facial or bodily features
