1. Abstract :Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeries

Plastic surgery is a medical procedure with the purpose of
alteration or restoring the form of the body. Though cosmetic or
aesthetic surgery is the most well known kind of plastic surgery,
plastic surgery itself is not necessarily considered cosmetic; and
includes many types of reconstructive surgery, craniofacial
surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns.
The use of surgery is usually to restore the form and function of
the

body;

maxillo-facial

surgeons,

plastic

surgeons

and

otolaryngologists perform surgery to reconstruct the faces after

trauma and to reconstruct the head and neck after cancer.
Plastic surgeons use the reconstructive ladder to deal with
wounds. This ranges from very simple techniques such as primary
closure and dressings to more complex skin grafts, tissue
expansion and free flaps.

2 Development of Plastic surgery/ Services and

treatments
The father of modern plastic surgery is Sir Harold Gillies, a New
Zealand otolaryngologist working in London, who developed
many of the techniques of modern facial surgery for soldiers
suffering from disfiguring facial injuries during the First World
War. At the time Second World War, plastic surgeons team was
largely divided.
Biomaterials are, plastic implants used to correct or replace
damaged body parts. The process involves scientific and medical
research to ensure that the biomaterials are biocompatible and
that they can assume the mechanical and functioning roles of the
components they are replacing.
A successful implantation can best be achieved by a team that
understands not only the anatomical, physiological, biochemical,
and pathological aspects of the problem, but also comprehends
bioengineering. Cellular and tissue engineering is crucial to know
for reconstructive procedures.

Treatments and Services
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons have been working for every
specialist who studies plastic surgical techniques or works in

conjunction with a plastic surgeon. The innovative techniques for

cosmetic and reconstructive procedures (including breast, hand,
pediatric, craniofacial, burn, experimental, peripheral nerve) are
used. The cosmetic sector provides expanded coverage on new
procedures and techniques
Cosmetic surgery procedures include breast enhancement,
reduction and lift, face lift, forehead lift, upper and lower eyelid

Techniques and procedures
In plastic surgery, the transfer of skin tissue (skin grafting) is a
very common procedure. Skin grafts can be derived from the
recipient or donors:
Autografts are taken from the recipient. If absent or deficient
of natural tissue, alternatives can be cultured sheets of
epithelial cells in vitro or synthetic compounds, such as
integra, which consists of silicone and bovine tendon
collagen with glycosaminoglycans.
Allografts are taken from a donor of the same species.

Xenografts are taken from a donor of a different species.

Usually, good results are expected from plastic surgery if proper

care and planning of post surgeries is done.

Reconstructive surgery
Reconstructive plastic surgery is done to correct burns; traumatic
injuries, such as facial bone fractures and breaks; congenital
abnormalities, such as cleft palates or cleft lips; developmental
abnormalities; infection and disease; and cancer or tumors.
Reconstructive plastic surgery is usually performed to improve
function, but it may be done to approximate a normal appearance.
The most common reconstructive procedures are tumor removal,
laceration repair, scar repair, hand surgery, and breast reduction
plasty. Some other common reconstructive surgical procedures
include breast reconstruction after a mastectomy for the
treatment of cancer, cleft lip and palate surgery, contracture
surgery for burn survivors, and creating a new outer ear when one
is congenitally absent.
Plastic surgeons use microsurgery to transfer tissue for coverage
of a defect when no local tissue is available. Free flaps of skin,
muscle, bone, fat, or a combination may be removed from the
body, moved to another site on the body, and reconnected to a
blood supply by suturing arteries and veins as small as 1 to 2
millimeters in diameter.


Cosmetic surgery
Cosmetic surgery is an optional procedure that is performed on
normal parts of the body with the only purpose of improving a
persons appearance and/or removing signs of aging. Nineteen of
the procedures are surgical, such as rhinoplasty or facelift. The
removal nonsurgical procedures include Botox and laser hair.
