What Is Plastic Surgery?

Cosmetic or Plastic Surgery — What’s the Difference?

While the terms are often used interchangeably, cosmetic and plastic surgery serve different purposes.

Cosmetic surgery focuses on enhancing appearance, while plastic surgery is typically reconstructive — addressing issues caused by birth defects, injury, or illness.

At Cape Cod Plastic Surgery, we offer both. And our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Marc Fater, is trained and accredited in procedures across both categories.
