The Science and Art of Cosmetic Plastic Surgery

Cosmetic plastic surgery is both a science and an art...

A science because it requires a solid foundation of medical and surgical knowledge to be able to achieve the best results with the least risk. But technical skill and years of experience are not enough.

A cosmetic plastic surgeon needs to be an artist. A paramount quality required for a plastic surgeon is a sense of form, of what is beautiful, what is pleasing to the eye. He must have creativity, imagination, meticulous attention to detail, and a sense of harmony and balance, His aesthetic judgement and ability to visualize the end result sets him apart from other surgeons. As an artist, the plastic surgeon is able to transform his given materials into something beautiful. These qualities distinguish the artist from the mere technician.

Just like a painter uses his brush to create works of beauty on canvas, a cosmetic surgeon uses his scalpel and utilizes the most refined surgical techniques to transform flesh and achieve results that are pleasing to the eye of the beholder.
