"Thailand has a well-deserved reputation for providing the highest standards in cosmetic surgery in the world, including surgery to correct disfigurement, restore function or improve appearance. It may also involve reshaping or moving tissues to fill a depression, cover a wound or improve appearance. Cosmetic surgery solely to improve appearance is not the main focus of plastic surgery and is utilized after disfigurement by burns or tumor removal or for reconstructive work, and it may involve hiding incisions in skin folds or using buried sutures to hold wounds closed. Reconstructive plastic surgery corrects severe functional impairments, fixes physical abnormalities and compensates for tissue lost to trauma or surgery. Microsurgery and computerized diagnostic imaging techniques have revolutionized the field."

there should be clarity of vision and purpose and confusion must not be compounded!this is a good topic to discuss..congrats!
