It is this versatility that has made plastic surgery the kind of discipline that is capable of correcting both form and function of the entire body exterior. It also explains why so-called beauty operations are not the only area of activity of plastic surgery. The inter-disciplinary training that is unique to this medical field and subsequent specialist activity is what makes a plastic surgeon competent in both Cosmetic Surgery and Reconstructive Surgery, and also capable of combining the two fields with each other.
