Frequently Asked Questions

Cosmetic surgery is an elective procedure chosen by the patient with the sole purpose of improving their physical appearance. It generally aims to correct areas that may be displeasing, such as the nose, forehead, or lips, which can be a source of stress or discomfort. Although not considered medically essential, it can have a significant emotional impact. Plastic surgery is a more essential procedure performed to repair tissue and skin damage caused by injuries such as burns or congenital conditions. The primary goal of this intervention is to restore the damaged skin or tissue to its normal state, rather than to improve or remodel it in any way.
