Journal of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology is a peer-review open access journal, which brings the clinical practice and education into a single platform. It covers the aesthetic and craniofacial aspects of plastic surgery and not only restricted to these, but also includes head and neck surgery, hand reconstruction, trauma, microsurgery, wound healing, maxillofacial cosmetic surgery, breast reconstruction and surgery. Cosmetology is the study and application of professional skills of beautifying the skin, face and hair. It includes original articles on physical, chemical and biological and related aspects such as dermatology, immunology, microbiology, chemistry and sensorics.
Journal of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology publishes the high-quality original articles in the areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery. The broader scope of this journal is associated with the topics such as restoration, reconstruction or alteration of the human body.
Journal of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology solicit the papers in wide range such as research articles, case reports, reviews, short communications, conference proceedings, letter to editors, rapid communications etc.
Scope of the Journal includes:

Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery concerned with the restoration, reconstruction, correction, or improvement in the shape and appearance of body structures that are defective, damaged, or disease, or anomalous growth and development. Reconstructive plastic surgery deals mainly with the surgical repair or restoration of an injured, lost, diseased, defective, or misshapen part or area. It typically involves the grafting of tissue from one part of the body to another.

Craniofacial Surgery
Craniofacial consists of both oral and maxillofacial surgery. It often involves with manipulation of bone and used to repair or reshape the face and skull of a person. Craniofacial reconstruction is sometimes called orbital craniofacial surgery. Craniofacial surgeons include craniosynostosis, rare craniofacial clefts, acute and chronic sequelae of facial fractures.

Breast Reconstruction
Rebuilding of Breast by plastic surgeon by artificial implant usually in women is known as Breast reconstruction. It involves using autologous tissue to construct a natural appearing Breast which takes place soon after Mastectomy. Breast reconstruction also can be done many months or even years after lumpectomy.

Breast Augmentation
Breast Augmentation enhances the size and shape of Women’s Breast. The procedure can be done through implants that restore breast volume and to achieve more rounded shape, it has a successful track record in satisfying Women who wish to enhance.

Cosmetology
Cosmetology is the study and application of Beauty Treatment. The cosmetology industry employs personal appearance workers including hair stylists, shampooers, barbers, cosmetologists, estheticians, makeup artists, and manicurists and pedicurists. The cosmetic surgery is to improve a person’s appearance and thus, self-esteem by changing the way she or he looks. Cosmetic surgery is performed on the face and body.

Hair Transplantation
Hair Transplantation is a technique that moves hair from one part of the body called donor site to bald. it is used to treat baldness in which hair is removed from sides of the head and transplanted in the front and top of the head. The hair transplantation technique is called follicular unit transplantation which involves extracting a linear strip of hair bearing from the back or the side of the scalp and it is dissected to separate individual grafts.

Cosmetic Dermatology
Cosmetic Dermatology consists of laser hair removal, Platelet Rich Plasma for hair, pimple treatment etc. It deals with both medical and surgical aspects. It is a branch of dermatology which deals with study of maintaining and restoring the appearance of the skin by correcting skin flaws such as acne, scars, and wrinkles.

Microsurgery
Microsurgery is a surgical discipline that combines magnification with advanced diploscopes, specialized precision tools and various operating techniques. Two of the main purposes of microsurgery are to transplant tissue from one part of the body to another and to reattach parts. These techniques are primarily used to anastomose small blood vessels and to coapt nerves. Microsurgery helps to heal wounds, restore function after trauma, and restore form after cancer. It can assist in the recovery and healing of a wide array of medical issues, from emergency amputations to reconstoration of the human breast.

Skin Cancer Reconstruction
Skin cancers is either surgical excision or Mohs chemosurgery. Mohs surgery is a procedure performed by a dermatologic surgeon to completely clear the tumor by carefully excising close margins of the tumor and examining this under the microscope until the tumor is completely cleared. This has been proven to improve cure rates over simple excision alone while making sure to remove as little tissue as possible.

Cosmetic Ear Surgery
Cosmetic Ear surgery is also Known as otoplasty. It is an aesthetic procedure that alters the size, position, or proportion of the ears. It can correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth, or it can treat miss happen ears caused by injury.

Hair Drug Testing
Hair Drug Testing is administered to detect parent drugs as well as their metabolites in the hair specimen collected from a donor’s body or head and can offer an extended, So, any specimens that are collected outside this detection window might not appear in the hair test. A drug test may also refer to a test that provides quantitative chemical analysis of an illegal drug, typically intended to help with responsible drug use.

Manicure, Pedicure, Nail Extensions
Manicure is the beauty treatment for nails and hands that can be done at home. Pedicure involves nail shaping and Polish.

Hand Reconstruction
Hand Reconstruction surgery is a very fine surgical procedure that is performed to restore function and to prevent further distortion. Traumatic injuries can produce complex to the hand, bones, tendons, blood vessels, nerves, and skin. Some injuries can be repaired in a single surgery others require a multi-surgery. Reconstructive surgery can help to reduce pain caused by a medical condition or injury as well as give a patient a better quality of life.

Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is surgery to reshape the nose. It can make the nose larger or smaller and change the angle of the nose in relation to the upper lip. Nose surgery is done to improve an obstructed airway requires careful evaluation of the nasal structure as it relates to airflow and breathing. It may be done using general or local anesthesia. It is usually done as an outpatient procedure but sometimes requires a one night stay in the hospital. Surgeons who do Rhinoplasty have training in Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology.

Head and Neck Reconstruction
Tumors that affect the regions of the head and neck may require surgery. This may affect the way patients are able to speak and swallow. Distortion of the head and neck region can have devastating effects on appearance and function of the patient and are among the most disabling and socially isolating defects with significant impact on patient’s quality of life. Head and neck tumors are strongly associated with a history of smoking and alcohol consumption, but recent evidence has shown that low economic status is a strong risk factor, comparable to tobacco and alcohol.

Wound Healing
Wound Healing is divided into four phases they are hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and maturation. When the skin is injured, our body sets into motion an automatic series of events, often referred to as the “cascade of healing,” in order to repair the injured tissues. When the right healing environment is established, the body works in right way to heal and replace fatigue tissue.
