Cosmetic vs. reconstructive surgery
Cosmetic or aesthetic plastic surgery is performed to change body shape or appearance, usually when no medical condition is present. However, sometimes surgery treats conditions that have resulted from another medical condition that is no longer a concern. Examples would be changes after massive weight loss or scarring from abdominal surgery. Most often, insurance companies will consider such conditions as cosmetic.
On the other hand, reconstructive plastic surgery generally involves the treatment of conditions that have caused an abnormal change in body shape or appearance. Examples of such conditions treated in our practice include reconstruction after a mastectomy or various cancers of the skin or soft tissues. Reconstructive plastic surgery can also be used to correct congenital anomalies or abnormal scars. Also included in reconstructive surgery are conditions that require body changes for appropriate treatment. The best example of this is breast reduction surgery to treat chronic back and neck pain. Insurance companies cover most of these types of procedures.
