Plastic or Reconstructive Surgery Nursing: Men and women in this field care for patients undergoing cosmetic procedures to correct aesthetic abnormalities or perceived abnormalities. These procedures range from small and elective, such as dermabrasion, to more complicated procedures necessary for a patient’s physical and psychological well-being, such as facial reconstruction after an accident or breast replacement after a mastectomy, and everything in between.
