cosmetic surgery
definition: Cosmetic surgery, also called plastic surgery or aesthetic surgery, refers to surgical operations changing, transforming, reconstructing, and shaping the physical human body, and adding or removing body parts for aesthetic purposes. Cosmetic surgery includes operations on the face (such as face-lift and rhinoplasty) and operations on other parts of the body (such as breast augmentation or reduction, liposuction, and abdominoplasty), all conducted under anesthesia.
