Relating to the forming, shaping, or molding of skin tissue, especially in a medical or surgical context.
From 'dermatoplast' + '-ic' (relating to), used in medical terminology since the late 1800s for surgical tissue modification.
Dermatoplastic surgery is the foundation of modern reconstructive medicine—it gave us the ability to take healthy skin from one part of the body and remake faces, hands, and burnt areas.
