About Plastic Surgery residency programs

Plastic Surgery is a surgical specialty focused on the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It includes both reconstructive surgery—addressing defects from injury, disease, or birth disorders—and cosmetic surgery, which enhances aesthetics and appearance. Plastic surgeons often work on complex wound closures, microsurgery, and tissue transfers.

Subspecialties include craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, and burn care. Advancements in techniques, such as microsurgical free tissue transfer and minimally invasive methods, allow for more precise outcomes and faster recovery.
