Plastic surgery technique
Some of the techniques used during plastic surgery are:
✅skin grafts – where healthy skin from an unaffected area of the body is removed and used to replace lost or damaged skin
✅skin flap surgery – where a piece of tissue from one part of the body is transferred to another, along with the blood vessels that keep it alive; it's called flap surgery because the healthy tissue usually remains partially attached to the body while it's repositioned
tissue expansion – where surrounding tissue is stretched to enable the body to "grow" extra skin, which can then be used to help reconstruct the nearby area
As well as these techniques, plastic surgeons also use many other methods, such as:
✅ fat transfer or grafting – where fat is removed from one area and inserted in another area, usually to correct unevenness
✅ vacuum closure – where suction is applied to a wound through a sterile piece of foam or gauze to draw out fluid and encourage healing
✅ camouflage make-up or cream
✅ prosthetic devices, such as artificial limbs.
