What is “Plastic surgery”?
Plastic, reconstructive and hand surgery is a uniquely broad surgical specialty and encompasses both complex and more straightforward procedures around the body. Plastic surgeons have an array of different techniques and technological solutions at our disposal to correct and reconstruct almost any body part. Despite the common assumption that it is mainly “cosmetic”, surgeons routinely perform highly complex procedures and are often called on by other specialists to help in their most difficult cases. Plastic surgeons apply well proven principles, up to date research as well as a wealth of experience and microsurgical skills to benefit our patients.
A fully trained Plastic surgeon will use the term FRCSI(Plast) after their name as an assurance that they have passed the required stringent national exams and are appropriately trained and qualified. They will have expertise in skin cancer, complex head and neck reconstruction, breast reconstruction, burns, congenital deformity, as well as hand and trauma surgery.
