Introduction

The Department of Plastic Surgery restores congenital or acquired anomalies, defects, or deformities outside the body through surgery and corrects functional defects. It is also a branch of the surgical branch that includes medical correction to overcome external complications.

The main treatment target of plastic surgery is very broadly applied, from head to toe, including the surface of the human body and deep tissues excluding the internal organs.

The Department of Plastic Surgery is divided into reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery by field. Reconstructive surgery is a treatment to restore function to normal along with external restoration of congenital anomalies as well as acquired deformities such as developmental failure, trauma, infection, and deformity after tumor surgery. Cosmetic surgery does not have any major functional problems and the external shape and appearance are within the normal range, but it is possible to overcome defects caused by innate race or ancestry, scars due to various surgeries or trauma, wrinkles due to aging, small breasts, etc. treatment for. However, as the distinction between reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery is gradually blurred, reconstructive surgery itself ultimately overcomes external defects, and cosmetic surgery is also performed in the form of reconstructing the shape.

The Department of Plastic Surgery restores confidence and improves the quality of life through various treatments to overcome the complex as well as reconstruct it as close to the original shape as possible.
