There are a few differences between plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery. Plastic and cosmetic surgery have different goals. While both plastic and cosmetic surgery aim to improve a person’s body, plastic surgery restores appearances while cosmetic surgery enhances them.

Expert answer from Doctor 

What comes under cosmetic surgery?

H
HexaHealth TeamExpert

Cosmetic procedures (aesthetic procedures) help to modify the body part that a person dislikes or is unsatisfied with. Surgeries covered under cosmetic surgery include facial contouring, facial rejuvenation, breast enhancement, body contouring, skin rejuvenation, etc.

What is the most effective cosmetic procedure?

HexaHealth TeamExpert

Cosmetic surgery procedures are chosen to best fit the individual requirement by expert doctors. There is no "one for all" solution. Every surgery involves a customised approach with a mix of one or more techniques for the most satisfactory results.

The most common types of cosmetic surgery include non-invasive procedures, as they are more safe and quick to heal.
