Anaplasty refers to the surgical reconstruction of lost or damaged tissue, particularly in the case of a disfigurement or deformity. There are several synonyms for anaplasty, including plastic reconstruction, plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery, restorative surgery, corrective surgery, and cosmetic surgery. Anaplasty, however, is most often used in combination with other words to describe the specific procedure being performed, such as facial anaplasty or breast anaplasty. Synonyms for these specific types of anaplasties may include rhinoplasty, otoplasty, abdominoplasty, and liposuction. Whatever the case may be, anaplasties and their synonyms offer an effective means of restoring form and function to the human body.
