Do you ever wonder why the word, "plastic" is used in "plastic surgery"? The word "plastic" comes from the Greek word plastikos, meaning "to mold or shape." Many of the first plastic surgeries were developed to close a difficult wound or replace tissue lost due to injury or cancer. These procedures often involved the formation of a skin flap to reshape or mold the defect so as to approximate the original shape. Today, plastic surgery is a surgical specialty dedicated to reconstruction of facial and body defects due to birth disorders, trauma, burns, and disease. The art and science of plastic surgery is also involved with the enhancement of the appearance of a person through such operations as facelift, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, and liposuction.
At The Iowa Clinic Department of Plastic Surgery, our diverse team offers a wide range of plastic surgery procedures. For your education, we have provided a comprehensive list of procedures on this page for you to review.
