You're
a woman in search of change, and you can't wait to
feel more comfortable and confident in your own body. You know what
your body needs better than anyone, but that won't prevent the
anxiety attached to the idea of bodily change. What can you do to
ease the tension that comes along with surgical enhancements? The
answer is simple: knowledge!
Knowing
the basics is going to lay the foundation upon which further
inquiries may be approached; once you know where to start, Dr.
Castellano can answer questions that will help you know exactly what
to do, and to feel safe doing it. Let's start with that big,
basic question:
What
is the difference between “plastic surgery” and “cosmetic
surgery?”
Plastic surgery is a procedure
which corrects or reconstructs a part of the body,
whereas cosmetic surgery is undergone as a means of enhancing
a person's body. Take, for example, breast augmentation vs. breast
reconstruction: a woman looking to acquire more supple breasts would
undergo cosmetic surgery, whereas reconstruction or repairs to
a woman's breasts would fall under the plastic surgery
category.
Both plastic and cosmetic
surgeons cover several specific procedures. Plastic surgery is geared
more toward injuries and defects. This is why the word
“reconstruction” is used. Since you're looking to add a little
zing! to your look, you will be under the capable hands of a cosmetic surgeon.
This basic chart shows that cosmetic surgeons and plastic surgeons not only do different procedures, but undergo different, job-specific training.
