The Difference Between Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery


Reconstructive Plastic Surgery  involves fixing a body part or facial feature that is abnormal and reconstructing it to appear normal , and make the patient whole again. In most of the  cases, the surgery is covered by insurance and is frequently done in a hospital setting.  Repairing a cleft lip, a broken nose or birth defect falls under the category of reconstructive plastic surgery. Breast augmentation is usually thought to be under the category of cosmetic surgery, but when it comes to breast cancer, this particular procedure is more accurately placed under the plastic surgery category.

 Cosmetic Plastic Surgery is an elective procedure done when the patient desires to improve his or her appearance, and is not generally covered by insurance. Cosmetic Surgery is commonly done in the surgeon's own office. Breast implants and breast reductions are seen as a cosmetic surgery procedure because the surgeon is enhancing the already normal body structure. Anti-aging procedures such as facelifts, tummy tucks, and hair replacement treatments are also common cosmetic procedures.
