I will use the analogy of a tree. Plastic surgery is a sub-specialty in the feild of surgery, where surgery is the trunk of the tree and plastic surgery is a branch of the tree. Other branches on this tree are orthopedic surgery, vascular surgery, gynocological surgery, and ect. The leaves on each branch represent sub-specialties within each specialty. For example, some orthopedic surgeons will do hip replacements while others will orthroscopic knee repairs. Some vascular surgeons will focus on large blood vessels while others will work on small blood vessels. Like other specialties, plastic surgery has many leaves on its branch, one of these leaves is cosmetic surgery. To answer your question, there is no better and there is no worse. Cosmetic surgery is a general term used to describe a subset of work that a liscenced plastic surgeon can perform if their training permits.

Cosmetic surgery is a general term. A better question would be what is the difference between a cosmetic surgeon and plastic surgeon. Cosmetic surgeons generally are specialist of a various things other than plastics such as ear, nose, and throat ENT or oral surgeons (specialized dentists). There are opthamologists (eye doctors) that do cosmetic surgery. All can do good surgery and all can do bad. Ask your primary care doctor for a referral and aways get a second opinion.

Plastic Surgery does include cosmetic surgery. But the difference is in the depth of the technique.
Cosmetic surgery uses cuts and sutures to remove wrinkles and blemishes.
Plastic Surgery alters the physical makeup of the face and body.

They are the same. Both cut. Both are used to enhance or change an appearance. "Plastic Surgery" might be used to correct an injury to a hand, or a burn, "Cosmetic Surgery" might be used to remove fat, do a rhinoplasty or a face lift. Both involved surgery -- repeat SURGERY so they are identical in the method used.

is this your homework? i imagine ever in view that beauty surgical procedure began to upward push and income popularity as being the norm, our society has deteriorated and withered away to being vastly preoccupied with seems and the exterior. human beings do not look to correctly worth different, extra significant factors, as a lot as they do elegance. If idiotic youngsters, who pay a lot interest to the media, and experience they might want to stick to the team to be someone, I say enable them keep being idiots. If the adults round them look to imagine this is sensible, it purely proves my aspect extra, and they curiously have both, no will to assert "no", or are purely yet another contribution to the stupidity of the lots. no individual earlier a minimum of twenty-one, extremely knows who they're or what they favor (frontal cortex isn't completely developed). beauty surgical procedure is an significant and drastic determination to make that human beings so youthful, actually, do no longer have the brains to make. to boot to, purely the actual aspect of creating that determination might want to allow you to comprehend this is no longer a good one. you're nevertheless coming up, good factors replace because the years pass, no longer plenty, yet they shift or issues fit in extra efficient after time. And with purely 0.5 a millimeter of distinction on a face, you could be conscious the replace. beauty surgical procedure is incredibly no longer needed for most. this is in straight forward words capricious. and that is no longer a ok reason to pass below the knife.

Neither. Anyone who's had it done has lived to regret it. As time wears on the scars become visible. Go to an upper end supermarket and spend some time there, you'll see plenty of evidence.
