Cosmetic Surgery vs. Plastic Surgery: What’s the Difference? WATCH VIDEO
When most people start exploring cosmetic procedures, they come across two terms: cosmetic surgeon and plastic surgeon. At first glance, the titles may seem interchangeable, but they actually reflect very different training backgrounds, areas of focus, and practice priorities. At NH Cosmetic Surgery & Aesthetics in MetroWest Orlando, serving patients from Dr. Phillips, Windermere, Ocoee, and Winter Garden, Dr. Nick Houlis is uniquely qualified to speak on this topic. With more than nine years of advanced surgical training—including residencies and fellowships in general surgery, plastic surgery, hand surgery, and cosmetic surgery—he has firsthand knowledge of both worlds.
