fractured bones, reattachement of an amputated finger or toe, or
the implant of a prosthesis. These are artificial materials used
in reconstructive cosmetic surgery to replace missing teeth,
limbs or knee joint. In other cases, the reconstructive cosmetic
surgery is used to reconstruct parts of the persons's body that
were missing at birth or remove by this type of operation.
