Types of Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery can generally be classified into two types:

[1] Cosmetic Plastic Surgery

This is focused solely on altering and improving one’s appearance. Cosmetic surgery’s main objective is to enhance the aesthetic appearance, proportion and symmetry of a normal functioning body part.

Common cosmetic procedures done by Singapore plastic surgeons are breast augmentation, double eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, liposuction and eye bag surgery.

[2] Reconstructive Plastic Surgery

In these cases, plastic surgeons correct physical defects or injuries in order to restore proper function and a normal appearance.

Reconstructive plastic surgery in Singapore usually includes breast reconstruction to restore the shape of the breast among breast cancer survivors; eyelid surgery can be used to improve vision by treating saggy lids (ptosis); and a rhinoplasty can be performed to correct nasal structures that hinder proper breathing.
