Reconstructive Surgery

Reconstructive surgery is generally performed to improve function, as opposed to cosmetic surgery which improves aesthetics. However, part of the goal of a reconstructive procedure may also be to approximate a normal appearance. There are a variety of reconstructive techniques which may be used depending on the individual case. In general, reconstructive surgery treats or improves abnormal structures of the body which may be congenital or developmental in nature or the result of trauma, infection, tumor or disease.
