Reconstructive surgery

Reconstructive surgery is a type of surgery done by doctors to repair or replace parts of the body that were damaged, either by an injury, illness, or birth defects. Doctors use special tools to remove or fix the affected parts of the body, and then piece it back together to make it look and work like it did before. Reconstructive surgery helps people look and feel better about themselves by changing how their body looks.
