Abstract:
Since its beginnings, Plastic surgery has aimed to restore not only physical health but also self-esteem and thereby contribute to the patient's healthy frame of mind. Special attention is paid to restoring the psychosocial function of normal appearance. Plastic surgery also contributes to the quality of life by what has exaggeratedly been called "psychotherapy with the scalpel".
