Reconstructive Plastic Surgery vs. Aesthetic Cosmetic Surgery
There are two categories of facial plastic surgery that a patient may receive. Reconstructive plastic surgery is used for individuals who have developed some sort of abnormal facial structure as a result of developmental issues prior to birth or a body-changing event, such as the presence of trauma, later on in life. Aesthetic cosmetic surgery is used on individuals who do not have abnormal body parts, but rather wish to improve their facial appearances through reshaping of certain areas.
Common Types of Aesthetic Facial Surgery
Many people of both genders and all ages opt to undergo aesthetic cosmetic surgery in order to improve their appearances and boost their senses of self-confidence. Here at the offices of Dr. Louis Apostolakis, we offer several types of cosmetic surgery for those wishing to achieve certain cosmetic goals:
- Rhinoplasty
- Neck and face lift
- Large ear reduction
- Lip enhancement
- Laser skin treatment
- Botox and filler injections
These, among a number of other procedures, work to help individuals reach all of their facial aesthetic aspirations.
Causes of Abnormal Body Structures
There are a number of different reasons why a person may possess an abnormal or atypical facial feature. Developmental problems, such as any of the following, may leave a person with a facial oddity:
- Trauma at any point in one’s life
- Congenital defects
- Severe injury
- Infections
- Tumors
Whether a person is born with an unusual facial structure or develops the phenomenon after a life-altering incident, there is a remedy for alleviating these aesthetic concerns: reconstructive plastic surgery.
