Cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures are subspecialties of plastic surgery. Reconstructive surgery is required to restore function and correct structural deformities, whereas cosmetic surgery is considered to enhance the appearance of certain body parts by reshaping and adjusting normal anatomical structures. One thing to note is that reconstructive surgery may be medically necessary in some cases, like accidents, unlike cosmetic surgery, which is done mainly to improve looks and refine body aesthetics. 

Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic procedures are performed to alter and enhance the appearance of certain parts of the body. It is a part of plastic surgery and involves using surgical and non-surgical methods of treatment. Cosmetic surgery may aid in reshaping and contouring the body and smoothing out wrinkles as well as help in treating varicose veins and structural deformities causing loss of proper function of such body parts such as a deformed nose. Patients choose cosmetic surgery to improve their appearance, which automatically boosts self-esteem and confidence in themselves. 

Reconstructive Surgery

Reconstructive surgery aims to provide corrective surgical procedures or reconstructive measures to repair body parts affected by trauma or removal surgeries. Reconstructive surgeries also help repair birth defects and structural anomalies such as cleft lip. The goal of reconstructive surgery is to improve the functionality of the body parts reconstructed as well as aid the other parts of the body.
