Skin and cosmetic surgery are departments that focus on enhancing or altering a person's appearance. Here's a brief explanation of each:
1. Skin Surgery: Skin surgery primarily deals with the treatment and removal of skin lesions, growths, or abnormalities. Common procedures include the removal of moles, warts, skin cancers, and the treatment of scars or birthmarks. Dermatologists often perform these procedures to improve both the health and aesthetics of the skin.
2. Cosmetic Surgery: Cosmetic surgery, on the other hand, is a branch of plastic surgery that aims to improve a person's physical appearance. It involves surgical procedures designed to enhance or reshape various parts of the body, such as the face, breasts, abdomen, or buttocks. Some common cosmetic surgeries include breast augmentation, rhinoplasty (nose job), facelift, and liposuction. These procedures are typically elective and focus on aesthetics rather than medical necessity.
