Yes, plastic surgeons can indeed do life-saving surgeries, especially in reconstructive surgery, trauma, and burns. They can salvage a limb, repair facial trauma, and reconstruct following cancer.
But emergency operations such as cardiac surgeries are beyond their expertise since they are not skilled to perform those. Their lifesaving operations are most often in reconstructive cases that are specialized.
