During this time, students specializing in plastic surgery learn about anatomy, human development, medical terminology and ethics. They also spend hours in the operating room assisting surgeons with procedures. After finishing undergraduate studies, aspiring plastic surgeons must pass a written exam, called the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) exam, in order to be eligible for a residency program.

After passing the exams and completing training, certified plastic surgeons are eligible to sit for the ABPS certification examination again. If they pass this test, they will receive full certification and be able to practice as a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Breast surgery is one of the most popular surgeries performed by plastic surgeons. It is a breast surgery that is designed to improve the appearance of the breasts. There are many different types of breast surgery, including breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift, and others. Breast surgery is often performed on women who are unsatisfied with the size or shape of their breasts. Breast surgery can help improve the size and shape of the breasts, as well as increase the size of the areola (the coloured part of the breast). Breast surgery can be performed as an open surgery or as a minimally invasive surgery. In an open breast surgery, the doctor will make a large incision in the skin of the breast. In a minimally invasive breast surgery, the doctor will make a smaller incision, or no incision at all.
Reconstructive surgery is a type of plastic surgery that aims to repair or replace damaged or deformed body parts.

Other patients may have had a surgery once that has left them with a permanent disability. Reconstructive surgery is meant to repair the damage done to the body part and make it as close to normal as possible. Some examples of surgeries that are performed as part of a reconstructive surgery are breast reconstruction, hand surgery, and face surgery.
