Costs vary widely depending on the procedure, the surgeon’s experience, and the location of the surgery. Cosmetic procedures are usually not covered by insurance, so it’s important to discuss the cost and payment options during the consultation.

In general, insurance does not cover elective cosmetic surgery. However, reconstructive surgery that is medically necessary, such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy or surgery to repair severe burns, may be covered.

Look for a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience with the procedure you’re considering. Check their credentials, read patient reviews, and schedule consultations to discuss your goals, expectations, and concerns.

As with any surgery, plastic surgery carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and complications related to anesthesia. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon and following post-operative care instructions helps minimize these risks.

Some procedures, such as breast augmentation or rhinoplasty, can have long-lasting results. However, the effects of certain treatments, like Botox or dermal fillers, are temporary and require periodic touch-ups.

Recovery time depends on the procedure. Some cosmetic surgeries, like Botox injections or minor liposuction, may have a short recovery time of a few days to a week. More extensive surgeries, like tummy tucks or facelifts, may require weeks or months for full recovery.

Reconstructive surgery aims to restore the function and appearance of the body after injury, illness, or congenital defects (e.g., breast reconstruction after mastectomy, cleft lip and palate surgery). Cosmetic surgery focuses on improving or enhancing appearance without any medical necessity (e.g., rhinoplasty, facelift).

Breast augmentation (implants): Enlarging or reshaping breasts. Rhinoplasty (nose job): Reshaping the nose for cosmetic or functional purposes. Facelift: Reducing wrinkles and sagging skin on the face. Liposuction: Removing excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or arms. Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty): Removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen. Botox injections: Reducing wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing facial muscles.

A plastic surgeon performs surgeries to repair or reconstruct parts of the body, address congenital deformities, or improve the appearance of a person through cosmetic procedures. This can include procedures like facelifts, rhinoplasty (nose surgery), breast augmentation, and skin cancer removal.

We offer a wide range of procedures, including facial surgeries (e.g., rhinoplasty, facelift), body contouring (e.g., liposuction, tummy tuck), breast surgeries (e.g., augmentation, reduction), and reconstructive surgeries (e.g., post-injury or post-cancer reconstruction).
