What is plastic surgery?

Plastic surgery is a surgical process, which involves reconstructing a person's facial or body tissues for an enhanced and improved appearance.

Lip fillers and implants have become very common. But with the enhanced appearances, plastic surgeries also have many health risks included with them.
