Why do we need plastic surgeons like Dr. Ritz?

The question is understandable. Why do we need plastic surgery? Doesn’t it give out the wrong impression that looks are everything that matters? The answer to that is simple plastic, and reconstructive surgeries are not just about changing looks. They are much more than that. For example, let’s talk about a very obese person who is even unable to move from the couch. Now we can automatically assume that this person cannot even exercise in order to become fit because they have so much fat in their body that it is impossible for them to do so. But at the same time, if nothing is done about it; the person would have a high chance of dying due to obesity. In this scenario, a liposuction or maybe a tummy tuck would help the person enough to ensure that there is enough mobility in the body to start exercising. Plastic surgery in this scenario has saved a person’s life. Hence, it is necessary to talk about people like Dr. Morris Ritz because of their hard work and dedication towards helping people become the best versions of themselves.
