Contrary to what some believe, the term plastic surgery does not mean inserting plastic or making someone appear plastic through surgery. Instead, it means using surgical procedures to restore or alter one’s appearance. The wide array of options and transformative nature of these procedures led to them being called plastic surgery – as plastic is flexible and can take many forms.

Plastic surgery patient results can vary depending on the level of care taken during recovery, or the way their body reacts to the procedure. As with all medical procedures there can be no guarantees. Ensuring your physician is board-certified, and taking the time to be as informed as possible about the procedure you are considering greatly contributes towards having a successful and positive experience.
