Definition
整形 is a noun meaning 'plastic surgery' or 'orthopedics' (the medical specialty). It is also used as a separable verb (离合词) — the verb 整 can separate from the noun 形 when adding aspect markers, measure words, or duration: 整过形 ('had plastic surgery'), 整了一次形 ('had plastic surgery once'). As a noun, it refers to the surgical procedure or the field of medicine. The verb usage is common in everyday speech, so be aware of the split pattern.
