Cosmetic surgery

is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve the patient’s appearance and self-esteem.

  • Cosmetic surgery is usually not covered by health insurance because it is elective.

  • Reconstructive Surgery

    is performed on abnormal structures of the body, caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease. It is generally performed to improve functions, but may also be done to    approximate a normal appearance.

    • Reconstructive surgery is generally covered by most health insurance policies, although coverage for specific procedures and levels of coverage may vary greatly.
