Which term refers to surgical procedures used for cosmetic purposes only, such as eye lifts or liposuction?

• A. Cosmetic surgery
• B. Pulmonology
• C. Orthodontics
• D. Veterans Administration

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is identifying the term for procedures done mainly to enhance appearance rather than treat a medical condition. Cosmetic procedures like eye lifts and liposuction are performed with the goal of improving how someone looks, not to fix a disease or restore a lost function. That makes cosmetic surgery the right term, because it specifically covers surgeries undertaken for aesthetic purposes.

The other terms refer to different things: pulmonology is the medical field dealing with the lungs and breathing; orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on aligning teeth and bites; and Veterans Administration is a government agency, not a medical specialty.
