A core component of plastic surgery deals with healing and restoration of form and function in the human body. Derived from the Greek word “plastikos” meaning to mold or to shape, plastic surgeons are masters of anatomy with the ability to operate on any part of the body. Plastic surgeons continue to play a reconstructive role in repairing injury, disfigurement, and scarring from trauma, disease, congenital defects, or cancer.
