Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery in Israel
Plastic surgery can be divided into 2 main categories:
- Reconstructive plastic surgery
- Cosmetic (aesthetic) plastic surgery
Though cosmetic surgery is the best-known kind of plastic surgery (to the point where sometimes these terms are used interchangeably), most plastic surgery is not cosmetic. Cosmetic surgery usually involves improving the patient's quality of life from an aesthetic perspective, while reconstructive plastic surgery is performed to correct functional impairments caused by burns, trauma, past treatment, etc.
