Morphology

cosmetic + surgeon

The meaning 'a medical doctor who performs procedures to improve appearance' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'cosmetic' (relating to appearance) with 'surgeon' (a medical professional who operates). This adjective + noun composition follows a common and cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand the MWE.

Etymology

Cosmetic surgeon joins cosmetic (things that change how someone looks) and surgeon (a doctor who operates). Imagine a doctor with careful hands shaping a nose or removing a scar like an artist working on a face, so the term means 'a doctor who does surgery to make people look better'.
