Plastic Surgeon Information:
A plastic surgeon is responsible for the repair or improvement of any cosmetic or reconstructive issue that a patient may want or need to have corrected.Typically, plastic surgeons have their own private practices to assist patients who seek what they want done. There are also specialists within the field who focus primarily on one part of the body such as the face itself or nose. Then there are the reconstructive specialists, who focus on correcting any physical deformities, birth defects, and other abnormalities to help the body to function in an optimal form.
Consult with your primary care doctor prior to having plastic surgery done in order to ensure that you are fit for whatever procedure you are looking to have done.
Plastic Surgeon Frequently Asked Questions
What Does Plastic Surgery Involve?
Plastic surgery includes both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. Plastic surgery includes many types of reconstructive surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, the treatment of burns, as well as the repair, reconstruction, or replacement of physical defects of form or function. Normally, reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body that may be caused by trauma, infection, developmental abnormalities, congenital anomalies, disease, or tumors. Cosmetic surgery is normally performed to repair or reshape "normal" structures of the body to improve appearance.
What Procedures do Plastic Surgeons Perform?
A plastic surgeon can perform numerous procedures for patients depending on their needs including blepharoplasty, botox injections, breast reconstruction, breast reduction, cleft lip and palate repair, facial reconstructive procedures, facial scar revision, fat grafting, forehead lift, hair replacement, hand surgery, laser surgery, mentoplasty, otoplasty, plasma skin regeneration, nose job (rhinoplasty), rhytidectomy, scar revision, skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and tissue expansion.
Will Insurance Cover Plastic Surgery?
Aesthetic plastic surgery is considered cosmetic and is therefore not covered by insurance in most cases. An insurance provider may cover certain procedures such as breast reductions, eyelifts, or abdominolpasty if the patient has a medical condition that the surgery will treat. Insurance will cover the cost of procedures considered to be reconstructive such as a breast reconstruction after mastectomy.

- Does your office accept my insurance?
