What is reconstructive plastic surgery?

Reconstructive surgery is performed by surgeons like Dr. Babak Azizzadeh to restore and repair body parts that are abnormal.

These abnormalities can be the result of:
  • Birth defects
  • Developmental abnormalities
  • Trauma
  • Infection
  • Tumors
  • Disease

Experts estimate that more than 1 million reconstructive procedures are performed by plastic surgeons annually. Reconstructive surgery helps patients of all ages and types—it may be a child suffering from a birth defect or an elderly person dealing with an abnormality that resulted from the aging process.

Reconstructive surgery is typically performed to improve function, though it can also be done to restore normal appearance.

While this type of surgery is generally covered by health insurance policies, coverage for specific procedures and levels of coverage may vary greatly.

Some common reconstructive surgeries include:
  • Breast reconstruction or reduction - to correct breasts that are too large
  • Surgeries for feet and hands - caused by tumors or disease
  • Wound care - to repair body parts damaged by burns, cuts and
  • Appendage replacement - for anyone who has lost a limb because of trauma or defects
  • Microsurgery or flap procedures - to replace parts of the body lost to disease
  • Facial surgeries - to correct deformities, birth defects and abnormalities affecting the face.
