Plastic Surgery is a specialized branch of surgery involved in repairing the deformities and the correction of functional or aesthetic defects.

Etymologically, the name derives from two Greek words: "Girurguiki" (surgery, hand, book) and "Plastik" (mold). Already in 1798 Desault used the term "Plastique". Von Graefe subsequently used this term in his monograph "Rhinoplastik" (Berlin, 1818).  It was a German surgeon, Edmund Zeis, who  made it popular in 1838 when he published: "Handbuch der Plastichen Chirurgie," baptizing this branch of surgery. Then it experience great development from the first World War.

The Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (CPL) is defined as a branch of surgery which deals with the surgical correction of  any congenital process, acquired, or simply involutional tumors that require repair or replacement of surface structures that affect the body's form and function, with it's techniques based on the transplantation of tissues and mobilization.

In 1955 Plastic Surgery was recognized in the Law of Specialties under the name of Reconstructive Surgery, which later was changed to that of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Universal plastic surgery is a specialty relating both the form, implicit in the term "plastic", as with the functional aspects, these are the resuscitation of a paralyzed face or restoring the function of a hand. A sense of beauty and the ability to identify true aesthetic qualities are critical for any plastic surgeon. It is rare that there is a procedure in this specialty that does not require aesthetics: from the location of the incisions to the election of a particular technique compared to all other possible.
