Overview
The term "plastic surgery" comes from the Greek word "plastikos," meaning, to mould or shape. The field of Plastic Surgery is broken into two primary parts - reconstructive procedures and cosmetic procedures. Both the procedures are usually reckoned as sub-specialities of plastic surgery.
Several people who choose reconstructive surgery or cosmetic surgery in Kolkata do so after a lot of deliberation and for good reasons that suits them. The treatments range from the removal of acne scar to restoring burned skin. Though, patients are required to carefully consider this form of surgical care in good health while understanding the risks of the procedure.
