Plastic surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on restoring, reconstructing or modifying the appearance or shape of a part of the human body. While reconstructive microsurgery aims to rebuild a part of the body or improve its functioning, cosmetic surgery aims to improve its appearance.

The most common procedures for this medical specialty are:

• Liposuction – the elimination of fat by suction from certain areas of the body to obtain a leaner figure
• Breast augmentation (surgical breast augmentation using silicone implants), breast reduction (breast reduction operation), breast lift (breast lift operation)
• Blepharoplasty – remodeling of the eyelids for aesthetic or functional reasons
• Abdominoblast – removing excess skin from the abdominal area and strengthening the remaining skin
• Rhinoplasty – reshaping the shape of the nose (including to correct the deviation of the septum)
• Gynecomastia (reduction of excess breast tissue)
• Facial lifting with wires
• Injections with Botox (botulinum toxin) or hyaluronic acid
