Cosmetic surgery is different than plastic surgery and the two terms are often mistaken for the other. Cosmetic surgery is a surgery strictly applying to appearance, and it focuses on the aesthetics of beauty. Plastic surgery is defined as a surgical specialty dedicated to the reconstruction of facial and body defects due to birth disorders, trauma, burns and disease. In 2003, the American Medical Association recognized Cosmetic Surgery as its own specialty and it is performed by many specialists in medicine with a variety of backgrounds, including Otolarygnologists, Maxillofacial Surgeons and Plastic Surgeons.
