Description of Plastic Surgery Plastic Surgery deals with the repair, reconstruction, or replacement of physical defects of form or function involving the skin, musculoskeletal system, craniomaxillofacial structures, hand, extremities, breast and trunk, and external genitalia. It uses aesthetic surgical principles not only to improve undesirable qualities of normal structures but in all reconstructive procedures as well. Contrary to its name, plastic surgery does not involve the use of plastics during surgery. The word plastic is taken from a Greek word that simply means 'moulding' or 'giving form'. Plastic surgery generally can be divided into two types:  Reconstructive surgery-
surgery to improve function or minimize disfigurement that has occurred
as a result of an accident, disease or birth defect. Aesthetic or cosmetic,
surgery- designed to improve a person's appearance by reshaping facial
or bodily features.Internet Project Your Practice Online and Sydney Institute of Plastic surgery (collectively "YPO-SIPS") present www.plastsurgery.com as an educational service to the public and our Clients. Brief Overview www.plastsurgery.com is a project of Your Practice Online.

In order to meet the needs of a diverse range of audiences using older technology to the latest of equipment, text browsers to Braille readers, various monitors and modem types and a variety of other issues, the following design principles have been used in developing the site. About Your Practice Online Your Practice Online was formed in April 2001, by the brainchild of 2 school time friends with a medical and an IT background respectively. Originally from Bangalore in India, often dubbed the new Silicon Valley, they recognized a need to provide improved technological solutions for the challenges encountered by modern medicine. Having practiced in both Australasia and in the Indian subcontinent, Dr. Prem has extensive experience in both Clinical practice and technological development. While observing medical practice in Sydney, he soon recognized the need to provide a method and forum for the collaboration and sharing of information between clinicians in their respective fields and to help overcome the technological obstacles faced by Medicos in Australia.
