Plastic Surgery encompasses both Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery but there's a distinction;
Cosmetic Surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to enhance the patient's appearance and self-esteem. *Cosmetic surgery is typically not covered by insurance because the majority of these procedures are elective.
Reconstructive Surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body caused by; trauma, cancer, tumors, disease, infection, developmental abnormalities and/or congenital defects,. These surgical procedures are typically performed to improve functions, but may also be performed in order achieve a near normal appearance for the patient. *Reconstructive surgery is generally covered by most health insurance policies, although coverage for specific procedures and levels of coverage may vary greatly.
