Cosmetic surgery therefore addresses healthy persons who voluntarily request a cosmetic surgical treatment to correct a defect related to one’s own personal physique. Cosmetic surgery may improve the quality of life and your relationship with your body.

Society today considers corporal and facial beauty as important qualities that are vital to acquiring self-confidence and as assets in creating serene social relationships. Beauty stands as a virtue that can be acquired with the help of cosmetic surgery which corrects blemishes in a noninvasive way, creating natural beauty without exaggerating or upsetting facial features. 

Cosmetic surgery allows us to uphold the personality and fascination inherent to each human being, man or woman, and because of this, more and more people entrust themselves to plastic and cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic and plastic surgery recreate the harmony of bodily shapes and physical proportions according to universal esthetic standards.

Cosmetic and aesthetic surgery, however, operate in different fields: plastic surgery consists in reconstructive operations (e.g. of the breasts after mastectomy, rhinoplasty subsequent to traumas, etc.) that recover the situation prior to trauma, a pathology or an accident. Cosmetic surgery instead consists of procedures that aim at modifying some physical or facial features that are the cause of lack of confidence, refusal, and problematic relationships.
