Made speculator sign reconstruction specialist (7,7)

I believe the answer is:

plastic surgeon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'reconstruction specialist' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'made speculator sign' is the wordplay.
'made' is an anagram indicator.
'speculator'+'sign'='speculatorsign'
'speculatorsign' is an anagram of 'PLASTIC SURGEON'.

Can you help me to learn more?
