What is a plastic surgeon? What does a plastic surgeon do?

A plastic surgeon is a highly qualified specialist engaged in aesthetic and reconstructive medicine. One should not think that the doctor's sole responsibility is to perform breast augmentation or rhinoplasty procedures. This specialty consists of two main branches:

Aesthetic Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery

Aesthetic Surgery

Aesthetic surgery is the most commonly associated field with plastic surgery. In this case, the doctor's role is to improve the appearance of a specific organ or body part. Some of the most popular surgeries include:

Rhinoplasty (nose reconstruction)
Breast augmentation or reduction
Brow and eyelid lifting or tightening
Liposuction of the "waist" area
Buttock plastic surgery

In all of the above cases, the surgeon only eliminates visual defects. No changes are observed in the function of the patient's internal organs.

Reconstructive Surgery

In this case, the plastic surgeon's role is to restore damaged tissues. Patients come for help after injuries to their limbs, face, or other body parts. The plastic surgeon also deals with congenital defects such as "cleft lip" or "cleft palate."

Important Personal Qualities

A doctor who chooses this direction should not be squeamish or easily disgusted, as plastic surgery demands it. The surgeon must be excessively compassionate and sensitive. Good motor skills, no tremors, and the absence of chronic diseases are essential, as excellent vision and steady hands are vital tools for a surgeon. Every day, they meet various people who may be overly sensitive, rude, or indecisive. Therefore, politeness and good manners are important.
A plastic surgeon should be distinguished by patience, the ability to convince and listen to patients.
Other crucial characteristics include:

High level of neatness and organization
A love for sports and self-care
Ability to persuade
Self-confidence
Self-control
Discipline
Good memory
