How Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery Differ

One is for looks; one is to function. That’s the difference between cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.

Cosmetic surgery is elective and designed to enhance appearance or boost confidence. Because it is optional, it is typically not covered by insurance.

Reconstructive surgery addresses damage caused by accidents, birth defects, disease, or trauma. It often focuses on restoring form and function and may receive insurance coverage depending on the policy.

At Core Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, Alabama, you will receive attentive care on either path. If you would like to schedule a private consultation, please send us an email or call (205) 397-2100.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have and get you on your way to beautiful, natural-looking results. Contact us.
