What is the difference between reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery?

Reconstructive surgery is performed to restore function and normal appearance, and correct deformities created by birth defects, trauma or medical conditions like cancer. Examples can include: 

  • Cleft lip and palate repair
  • Breast reconstruction following a lumpectomy or mastectomy for breast cancer
  • Reconstructive surgery after burn injuries

Typically, reconstructive surgery is considered medically necessary and covered by most health insurance plans.

Cosmetic surgery is performed to enhance the overall appearance by reshaping and adjusting the anatomy to make it more visually appealing. For those reasons, cosmetic surgery is considered elective and isn’t covered by insurance. Popular examples of cosmetic surgeries are breast lifts, tummy tucks and face lifts.

Certain conditions can be deemed either "reconstructive" or "cosmetic" depending on the specific situation. An example is rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, which is often performed to enhance the appearance of the nose but may also be required to restore normal nasal breathing and normal appearance after a bad nasal fracture.

To best meet your needs, our team is skilled in numerous cosmetic surgeries including:

Face

  • Rhinoplasty
  • Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
  • Brow lift
  • Facelift
  • Neck lift
  • Genioplasty (chin enhancement)
  • Fat graft
  • Liposuction
  • Ear pinning (Otoplasty)
Breast

  • Breast augmentation
  • Breast lift (Mastopexy), with or without augmentation
  • Breast reduction, including male breast reduction (gynecomastia)
Body

  • Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
  • Arm lift (brachioplasty)
  • Thigh lift
  • Upper back (bra-line) lift
  • Liposuction
  • Labiaplasty
Non-Surgical

  • Filler
  • Microneedling
  • Sclerotherapy to treat blood vessels
