  1. it is known either as plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery. they are also the medical terms.
  2. That's it, unless you'd like to expand and call it plastic and reconstructive surgery.
  3. It is known as either plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery, the plastic can be any where on your body but cosmetic is just your face.
  4. Cosmetic surgery is a name for surgeries which are done for aesthetic purposes. Reconstructive surgery is done to repair or reform a body part eg face. Also each operation has a certain medical name eg rhinoplasty is the medical name for a "nose job".
