Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Aesthetic plastic and reconstructive surgery involve two main categories: aesthetic surgery and reconstructive surgery. Plastic surgery includes cosmetic surgery, while reconstructive surgery includes maxillofacial (jaw and face) surgery, craniofacial (skull and face) surgery, microsurgery, hand surgery, trauma surgery, congenital anomaly (defect) surgery, and reconstructive burn surgery.
In surgeries and procedures performed by plastic surgeons, essentially functional body organs and body parts are reshaped. The goal is usually to increase confidence and improve your self-image and the way you identify yourself with the world around you.
Reconstructive surgery and procedures are intended to restore organs and tissues that have lost their normal function due to trauma, cancer, infection or congenital structural disorders and to restore their function.
Certain surgical operations and interventions can serve both reconstructive and aesthetic purposes. One of the most common examples of this situation is reconstructing a breast that has been removed due to cancer and then lifting or reducing the size of the other breast for aesthetic appeal.
The techniques and technologies used in plastic and reconstructive surgery are evolving every day, both globally and in our own country. At the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Cyprus Central Hospital, we keep a close eye on all these developments and attach great importance to knowing the risks and benefits of all options before surgery and other interventions.
In plastic and reconstructive surgery, each patient has different problems, expectations, treatment options, risks, and outcomes. For this reason, our department performs individualized treatment plans and practices based on the patient's preferences under the guidance of a surgeon.
