Plastic Surgery Malpractice Lawyer in Orlando Chris Shakib Specializes in Lawsuits Related to Plastic Surgery Negligence
Many medical professionals define plastic surgery as a surgical intervention aimed at altering, reconstructing or restoring various body parts to their natural state. This surgery field is typically divided into two distinct branches: reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery.
Reconstructive surgery is typically performed to correct abnormalities caused by congenital defects, trauma, infections, tumors, or diseases. Its primary purpose is to restore both function and appearance, helping patients to try and regain normalcy in their lives. Common examples might include cleft palate repair, breast reconstruction after mastectomy, and treatment of severe burns or injuries.
Reconstructive plastic surgeries also address craniofacial anomalies (face and skull), microsurgery, hand surgeries and the treatment of burn victims, among other conditions. These surgeries are chiefly conducted by plastic surgery physicians to address specific issues, that include disfigurement, congenital defects, and reconstructive needs following injuries from accidents.
Cosmetic surgery is generally considered elective in nature, aimed at restoring or enhancing one’s physical appearance, which often leads to increased self-esteem and even contentment. Such procedures may involve breast surgeries (enhancement, reconstruction, or reduction), tummy tucks/liposuction, scar removal, (BBT) Brazilian butt lifts, and head and facial surgeries including facelifts targeting the forehead, eyelids, cheeks and neck areas. These facial enhancements are aimed at rejuvenating worn and sagging tissues resulting from aging, sun exposure, and the natural decline of the skin’s elasticity.
