Reconstructive In Medicine
Cancer treatments sometimes damage a body part’s function or appearance. Reconstructive surgery helps repair that damage. Reconstructive surgery differs from face lift because plastic surgery is completed for a medical reason. Most insurance companies cover plastic surgery that's needed after cancer treatment. Reconstructive surgery is most ordinarily needed after some sorts of surgery to get rid of the cancer. Many reconstructive surgeries use microvascular techniques. This is also called “free flap surgery.” during this sort of surgery, the surgeon takes tissue and blood vessels from 1 a part of the person’s body and moves them to the damaged part. Reconstructive surgeons use the concept of a reconstructive ladder to manage increasingly complex wounds. This ranges from very simple techniques like primary closure and dressings to more complex skin grafts, tissue expansion, and free flaps. Cosmetic surgery procedures include breast enhancement, reduction and lift, face lift, forehead lift, upper and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), laser skin resurfacing (laser resurfacing), chemical peel, nose reshaping (rhinoplasty), reconstruction liposuction, nasal reconstruction using the paramedian flap, also as abdominoplasty (abdominoplasty).
