nose surgery.

Plastic surgery is a medical
specialty that uses a number
of surgical and nonsurgical
techniques to change the
appearance and function of a
person's body.[1] Plastic
surgery procedures include
both cosmetic enhancements as
well as functionally
reconstructive operations. In
the former case, where
aesthetics are considered more
important than functionality,
plastic surgery is also
referred to as cosmetic
surgery. Most procedures
involve both aesthetic and
functional elements.

The word 'plastic' derives
from the Greek plastikos
meaning to mold or to shape;
its use here is not connected
with the synthetic polymer
material known as plastic.
Plastic surgeons typically
mold and reshape the following
tissues of the body: bone,
cartilage, muscle, fat, and
skin.
