Plastic surgery is a diverse surgical specialty dedicated to restoring, reconstructing, or altering the human body. The term is derived from the Greek word plastikos, meaning “to mold” or “to form.” Contrary to popular belief, the field is not solely focused on cosmetic enhancements. It is broadly categorized into two main disciplines: Reconstructive Surgery, which corrects defects to restore normal function and appearance, and Aesthetic (Cosmetic) Surgery, which focuses on enhancing the appearance of structures that are functioning normally. A Plastic Surgeon is a specialist trained in the complex manipulation of skin, muscle, bone, and soft tissue to achieve these goals.

Plastic surgery is unique in that it addresses both medical necessity and quality of life through physical improvement.
Plastic surgery requires a deep understanding of the body’s layers. Surgeons do not just stitch skin; they reposition the underlying tissue and muscle.
Beyond the physical changes, plastic surgery has a profound psychological impact. For a burn victim, reconstructive surgery restores the ability to interact socially without stigma. For a mother undergoing a “Mommy Makeover,” it restores the body confidence lost after pregnancy. The goal is to align the patient’s external appearance with their internal sense of self.
In the context of plastic surgery, “symptoms” refer to physical traits, whether acquired, congenital, or developmental, that a patient wishes to correct. These can range from functional impairments, like blocked breathing, to aesthetic concerns, like premature aging. Understanding the underlying causes helps the surgeon choose the correct technique.
Patients typically seek plastic surgery for specific visible conditions or functional issues.

Diagnosis in plastic surgery is a collaborative process involving a detailed physical examination and an in-depth discussion of the patient’s goals. Unlike other medical fields where the doctor tells the patient what is wrong, here the patient defines the problem, and the surgeon determines if and how it can be fixed. At Liv Hospital, we utilize advanced visualization technology to bridge the gap between expectation and reality.
The consultation is the most critical step. It determines patient candidacy and safety.
It is challenging for patients to visualize the potential surgical outcomes. We use technology to create a shared vision.
Surgeons use specific scales to grade the severity of defects, which dictates the surgical approach.
Plastic surgery treatments are highly individualized. The “best” procedure depends on the patient’s anatomy and desired recovery time. Treatments range from non-invasive “lunchtime” procedures to complex, multi-stage reconstructive surgeries.
Plastic surgery is an art, but safety is the canvas upon which it is painted. At Liv Hospital, the Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery Department adheres to the highest international standards of surgical safety and ethical care. We believe that true beauty is achieved when expert technique meets patient safety.
Surgery is only half the journey; recovery is the other half.
We integrate surgery with non-invasive care.
At Liv Hospital, we do not just change how you look; we empower how you feel. Our goal is natural, harmonious results that respect your unique anatomy and enhance your inherent beauty.
