Cosmetic Plastic Surgery is pleased to provide a jargon free, alphabetically arranged glossary for our visitors. We believe that understanding medical terms helps to remove the mystery from medicine and facilitates effective communication between you and your physician. This is not an exhaustive list and consists of words a patient is likely to encounter when learning about cosmetic plastic surgery. If you're searching for a term not present in our glossary, please let us know.
Each entry is arranged by [1] the medical term, [2] a simplified pronounciation, and [3] its definition. We recognize that pronunciations differ among cultures and geography. Our simplified guide offers a common usage of each term.
Use the alpha buttons (shown above in the top menu bar) to navigate the listing of terms. You will find these on each page of the glossary. It's worth noting that on each of our "procedures" pages, we've added small pop-up windows to allow you easy access to definitions.
The pop-up windows are accessible by clicking on a highlighted word. The link to access the words definition look like this. Also for your convenience, the pop-ups are loaded on your current page so you won't have the hassle of remote window clutter. We hope you find this feature helpful.
