Why do we call plastic surgery that?
The Greek word plastikos means to mold or shape. It can also refer to plastic surgery. Also, the name “plastic” is derived from Greek plastikos which means mold or form. Doesn’t really matter whether the plastic is used to make a product, a screen for a computer or a child’s toy. This material can come in any shape.
The term “plastic” surgery refers to any procedure that is performed in order to reshape or modify the anatomy. In spite of all plastic surgery advancements, it is not possible to mold the human anatomy into the desired form. The only plastic used is for breast implants. We can still change the way people look or feel with today’s advanced surgical techniques.
What are cosmetic and plastic surgeries?
All cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery, and reconstructive surgery is the same. Both terms refer to the alteration of normal body structure to enhance appearance. This is why cosmetic surgery usually isn’t covered by most insurance.
