About Cosmetic Surgery

About Cosmetic Surgery and the Aesthetic Beauty Centre

Procedures undertaken for cosmetic improvement are elective procedures which are not often necessary to maintain or improve health. There are many questions and misconceptions about cosmetic surgery. To help patients make educated choices about cosmetic surgery, the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS) has designed a special patient education brochure. This explains the difference between cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery, multi-disciplinary nature of cosmetic surgery etc. The entire brochure can be downloaded from the AACS website.

What is the difference between cosmetic and plastic surgery? (AACS website Sept’2011)

Cosmetic surgery is a unique discipline of medicine focused on enhancing appearance through surgical and medical techniques. Cosmetic surgery can be performed on all areas of the head, neck, breast and body to improve its aesthetic appeal.

Plastic surgery is defined as a surgical speciality dedicated to reconstruction of facial and body defects due to birth disorders, trauma, burns and disease. Plastic surgery is intended to correct dysfunctional areas of the body and is reconstructive in nature.

What does it mean to be ‘Board Certified’ or pass the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS) exam?

It is an independent sub-speciality board that examines and certifies physicians in general, facial and dermatological cosmetic surgery.
