Working as a plastic surgeon, you will help patients reconstruct their bodies, such as their face, stomachs, skeletal system and skin. You may have patients that come to you to help them with their physical defects that were caused by nature, accident or an illness.

Then there are others that resort to plastic surgery for vanity reasons. Overall, your goal is to improve and enhance the appearances of your patients.

Consulting



Another role of the plastic surgeon is to offer consultation services to their patients. Meeting up with them beforehand is required to find out what they want to have done and whether or not you can provide those services. Some procedures may have risks that you don't want to tempt and others may just be impossible to do.

Putting Patients Under Sedation

To perform the plastic surgery on patients, you will have to put them on sedatives or anesthesia. The type of procedure that you will be providing will determine how much sedation you will have to administer. You will have a nurse or anesthesiologist there to assist you.

Performing Reconstructive Surgery

You may have patients come to you asking for reconstructive surgery to repair wounds or defects on their bodies. So f you have a patient that had severe burns, you would use skin grafting to remove the dead skin on their bodies and then replace it with tissue taken from other parts of their body.

Cosmetic Procedures

Then there are others who may come to you for just vanity reasons. For instance, someone might want to enhance their breast size or reshape their surgery just for the sake of their looks.

Surgical Procedures that are Minor

You may not always have to perform complex procedures, there are some minor procedures that can be performed as well, such as Botox injections.
