Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery is a surgical discipline that combines deep anatomical knowledge, technical skills, and a marked artistic sense to correct morphological-functional defects, both congenital (present from birth) and acquired (resulting from trauma, disease, aging, or previous interventions). It is traditionally divided into two major complementary areas. Aesthetic Surgery focuses on improving physical appearance to correct aesthetic imperfections and harmonize facial and body features (breast surgery, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, facelift, abdominoplasty, and liposculpture). Reconstructive Surgery, on the other hand, has the primary goal of restoring tissue functionality and integrity after traumatic events (complex wounds, burns), diseases (skin tumors), or destructive oncological interventions, such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The offering is completed by non-invasive or minimally invasive Aesthetic Medicine treatments, such as laser treatments for hair removal or skin rejuvenation, fillers (hyaluronic acid) to fill wrinkles or increase volume, and botulinum toxin to reduce expression lines. Post-oncological surgery is an area of particular importance, supporting the patient’s psychological and physical recovery.
