Where do plastic surgeons work?

Where plastic surgeons work depends on if they are in public or private practice. Some plastic surgeons work in private medical offices. Many of these practices specialize in a particular kind of plastic surgery, such as pediatric reconstruction or cosmetic surgery. The office may have a single doctor or a team of doctors. Other plastic surgeons work on staff at hospitals. These doctors typically focus on the repair and reconstruction of physical issues resulting from diseases, injuries, or birth disorders. Medical mission organizations often have plastic surgeons on staff to help those worldwide without access to medical care get the surgery they need.
