It has transformed into a surgical discipline that demands the highest level of surgical skills, clinical acumen, mastery of modern technology, and precise planning-execution. A plastic surgeon goes through rigorous training of 7 to 9 years, equipping them with essential surgical tools and techniques.
This enables them to plan and execute the most complex and intricate surgical procedures. They can perform super microsurgery, joining lymphatic vessels with a diameter of 0.1-0.2mm. They are adept at repairing cut nerves, muscles, tendons, and delicate bones of the face and hand. They can reconstruct a face demolished by cancer using microvascular tissue transfer. A modern plastic surgeon is an expert in operating on delicate tissues under challenging circumstances. They are team players, coordinating with other specialists like dermatologists, dentists, maxillofacial surgeons, oncologists, ENT surgeons, ophthalmologists, general surgeons, vascular surgeons, nephrologists, and transplant surgeons. A plastic surgeon is like water that fills the gap, transforms into the shape of the situation, and gives that finishing touch!
