Plastic surgery is an extremely rich and unique discipline because its dual soul, reconstructive and cosmetic. No other medical specialty shares the nobility of purposes of Reconstructive Surgery (e.g. treatment of burns, trauma or complex malformations) and the trend towards improvement of Aesthetic Surgery. As these two aspects are divided in clinical practice, they are intimately connected in surgery, since the techniques are common.

The aim of any procedure should be carefully defined and fit the wishes of the patient. The result should be natural and harmonious, avoiding excessive results.

We have also to take into consideration that any procedure has possible risks and complications. Therefore the patient must be informed and fully aware of the type of procedure, possible risks and complications.
