Increasingly there is in today’s world, where image and appearance are becoming increasingly important and relevant, the need to be beautiful, that is without flaws, and to appear more and more young people (rejuvenation surgery) or slow down the signs of aging.

Cosmetic surgery is perhaps the most popular form of plastic surgery. In 2006 the United States alone, the country most likely to use a scalpel, nearly 11 million patients have used these treatments.

In fact, according to the U.S. legal system, any doctor, regardless of specialization, and undertake such actions. The distinction between the two disciplines, the “plastic surgery” and “cosmetic surgery” is not always purely academic: the first is recognized to ‘American Board of Medical Specialties as the branch of medicine concerned with the repair of defects of form and function, and this includes both the aesthetic and reconstructive surgery (plastic). The term “cosmetic surgery” however, refers primarily to those engaged in processes of surgery cosmetic improvement of the person, or the ‘look’. And in many countries like Australia, for example, many doctors who do not have the status of surgeons can carry out operations of cosmetic surgery.

Aesthetic plastic surgery can intervene to restore that balance that we have failed over the years with the passage of time, or that we never had.
In fact, a physical defect, whether congenital (i.e. at birth) or acquired over the years, can change not only our true image, but also our psychological state, which may cause embarrassment, fear or insecurity.

Then the patient if the surgeon after the first visit established that there is a valid indication, can have a significant benefit by the employment of plastic surgery that has decided to tackle not only in terms of aesthetic and physical, but also from the psychological and greater security and self-esteem.
