Answer:

The root word is the same for both the plastic that bottles are made from and plastic surgery. Latin plasticus, Greek plastikós: that may be molded The material plastic is one that can easily be molded into different shapes. Plastic surgery involves molding or changing the body into different shapes. See what a little education do? It's a simple concept - some words have more than one meaning.
When referencing surgical procedures, plastic is an adjective term derived from the adjective form of the surgical suffix -plasty, which refers to a surgical reconstruction or reformation. For example, a rhinoplasty is a reconstruction or reformation of the nose, or a mammoplasty is the reconstruction or reformation of a breast. The adjective form of the surgical suffix -plasty is -plastic. When you see the term plastic functioning as a whole term (not as a suffix), with reference to surgery, it means pertaining to surgical reconstruction or reformation of (a part of) the body. So, rhinoplastic surgery is plastic surgery performed on the nose, and has nothing to do with the use of plastic material.
