Plastic surgeons at Mercy Clinic Plastic Surgery specialize in a broad range of plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries and treatments. Plastic surgery is dedicated to the reconstruction of facial and body defects due to birth disorders, trauma, burns and disease. Reconstructive surgery is generally performed to improve functions, but may also be done to create a normal appearance. Cosmetic surgery reshapes normal structures of the body to improve the patient's appearance and self-esteem.
