Overview
The plastic surgeons affiliated with Greenwich Hospital specialize in both reconstructive and cosmetic 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 approximate a normal appearance. Reconstructive surgery is generally covered by most health insurance policies, although coverage varies.
Cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body to improve the patient's appearance and self-esteem. This is elective surgery and usually not covered by health insurance.
