Plastic surgery has become a part of our society. Many people,
not just the rich and famous, undergo some type of cosmetic
plastic surgery procedure. In fact, according to the American
Society of Plastic Surgeons, 6.6 million people had cosmetic
plastic surgery in 2002. In that same year, the five most
popular plastic surgery procedures were rhinoplasty, breast
augmentation, liposuction, eyelid surgery, and face lift.
One of the contributions to the popularity of plastic surgery
has been the advancements in technology and procedures. An
example of this technology is now people can get an idea of the
results of their plastic surgery even before undergoing surgery.
The Penn State Plastic
Surgery website has been designed to introduce patients to
the various procedures and how they can help you improve your
overall appearance and possibly boost your self-esteem.
Plastic Surgery is a specialty that covers a wide range of
conditions, both congenital (birth defects) and acquired
(tumors, trauma, aging).
Pediatric Plastic Surgery
is a subspecialty of Plastic Surgery for which our surgeons have
received additional training. At Penn State Hershey
Medical Center, we are able to offer the expertise of a
dedicated team trained to recognize and treat the special needs
of children. The information provided in this website can help
you make a better-informed decision.
Also if you have any questions or concerns about having plastic
surgery, you can request a
consultation to meet with a plastic surgeon and discuss the
procedures you are considering.
Our site can also assist you in finding a
plastic surgeon. The
board-certified surgeons of Penn
State Plastic Surgery are extensively trained and skilled in
treating each of these problems. By undergoing plastic surgery,
you are taking a major step in achieving the appearance you’ve
always dreamed of. |
