Has a Past Trauma, Surgery, or Disease Left You With Functional Problems in the Head or Neck Region?

How Does Head & Neck Reconstruction Work?

Plastic surgery for the head and neck encompasses both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. 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 restore a normal appearance. Reconstructive surgery is generally covered by most health insurance policies.
