Plastic surgery is a special type of surgery that can change a person's appearance and ability to function. Plastic Surgery can be broadly divided into two categories, Reconstructive and Cosmetic.  Reconstructive surgery includes treatment of burns, craniofacial surgery, hand and microsurgery, and also cancer and trauma reconstruction, including cleft lip and palate surgeries and surgical correction of pediatric and congenital deformities.
