Plastic surgery is a speciality that
uses surgical techniques to change the
appearance and functions of a person's
body. Some of these operations are called
cosmetic and others are called reconstructive.
The word Plastic is derived from the
Greek 'Platikos' meaning to mould or to
shape; its use here is not connected with
the synthetic polymer material known as
plastic.
