SURG G845 - Plastic Surgery
Credits: 2
What is Plastic Surgery? Plastic Surgery is a specialized branch of surgery that is defined by the treatment of deformities of the face and body. Plastic surgery is founded in restoring form and function to all areas of the body. Historically, plastic surgery has been predicated on the tradition of innovation in problem solving. Only plastic surgeons are trained to operate on the human body from head to toe. Plastic surgery, therefore, is equally vested in reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. Whether deformity is caused by trauma, cancer, congenital abnormality, previous surgery, or age, plastic surgeons are uniquely trained to restore the normal. GHS Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics is dedicated to these principles that founded the specialty of plastic surgery.The student should expect to learn the basic principles of Plastic Surgery.
