Plastic, Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery
No matter the type of plastic surgery that is being performed, the end goal should always include maximizing the cosmetic result. It is very important for patients to discuss the anticipated cosmetic result with their surgeon ahead of time to ensure appropriate expectations are met.
Reconstructive surgery is performed to restore function and improve appearance for patients affected by deformities created by birth defects, trauma, or medical conditions, including cancer. Examples include cleft lip and palate repair, breast reconstruction following a lumpectomy or mastectomy for breast cancer and burn injuries. Typically, reconstructive surgery is considered medically necessary and is covered by most health insurance plans.
Cosmetic surgery is performed to enhance overall cosmetic appearance by reshaping and adjusting normal anatomy to make it visually more appealing. Unlike reconstructive surgery, cosmetic surgery is not considered medically necessary. Breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), and facelift are popular examples of cosmetic surgery procedures.
