Reconstructive surgery refers to a type of surgical procedure that is performed in order to repair or rebuild damaged or injured body parts. This can include procedures such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy, cleft lip and palate repairs, scar revision, hand surgery for injuries or birth defects, and more. The goal of this type of surgery is to improve the function and appearance of the affected area, as well as to provide a sense of normalcy and self-esteem to the patient. Reconstructive surgeries are often covered by insurance plans because they are considered medically necessary for improving the quality of life of the individual.
