Mr Simon Mackey, Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon, talks about cosmetic surgery and what it is.
Cosmetic surgical procedures are those procedures which are designed to improve appearance.
Now there's often a gain in function with a cosmetic surgical procedure and many of the operations that we use for cosmetic surgery are actually based in reconstructive practice and likewise a number of the procedures that we use for reconstruction are based in cosmetic surgical practice.
So the two really are interchangeable, but cosmetic surgery is performed by plastic surgeons to improve appearance.
