Plastic Surgery – The Mergence of Art and Science

Plastic Surgery is a multifaceted specialty that combines form, function, technique and principle. Not limited to the skin, plastic surgery may encompass any area of the body. While the details of various procedures are important, basic principles allow the plastic surgeon to solve unusual problems, to apply known procedures to other body parts, and to be innovative and change with times and with developing technology. These broad principle can be applied to simple skin excision or to complex free tissue transfer.

Plastic Surgery is both an art and science. For the aesthetic or cosmetic plastic surgeon, perhaps the predominant factor is the art. This is the aspect of surgery in which concentration and interest are focused on the restoration and improvement of forms as well as function. The disorders that the plastic surgeon encounters may be the result of aging, cosmetic inferiority, congenital defect, trauma and prior surgical procedure that have a profound effect on human emotion or psychological structure. Aesthetic plastic surgery, though admittedly done on occasion to rehabilitate a particular part of the body, is mainly performed to rehabilitate the entire person. It stands that improvement in a person’s appearance, also improve a person’s self-image, and this in turn, provides a feeling of emotional and physical well- being.

Any cosmetic plastic procedure could be a worthwhile and extraordinary experience for both the patient and surgeon, if this is done in the light of surgical standards in term of safety. A Plastic Surgeon is both a Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgeon. And reconstructive Surgery is a prerequisite for all Plastic Surgery Training Program. Since the very root of almost all cosmetic/aesthetic procedure can be trace from early reconstructive procedures. Thus a plastic surgeon whose main interest is aesthetic plastic surgery, must have a firm foundation on reconstructive surgery, to  better grasp on the basic principle and application of aesthetic surgery. You may inquire from your doctor regarding his/her background or training in reconstructive surgery.

It takes 6 to 8 years of formal training in burns, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery at an accredited institution after medical school, before physician could call himself a Plastic Surgeon.  This would include 3 to 5 years of General Surgery Program and 3 years of Burns, Cosmetic/Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery Training. In the Philippines, there are only few training institutions with plastic surgery program that are accredited and recognized by the local association of surgeons (Philippine College of Surgeons, Philippine Boards of Plastic and Philippine Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons). Nowadays, there are still many doctors (even non doctors) who are board-certified in other specialties but definitely not in plastic surgery, who perform cosmetic surgery procedures. With the complexity of the plastic surgery specialty, it is not enough for a surgeon to just undergo months or even a year of observership or training in an unaccredited establishment, to comprehend all the principles and applications in the field of plastic cosmetic surgery.
