Lesson from Cal.

PLASTIC SURGERY: Plastic and reconstructive surgery, however, can involve reconstruction, removing cancerous tissues or moving tissue around. Those procedures are not necessarily cosmetic but more to restore form and function. Plastic surgery focuses on issues such as problematic birth defects, trauma victims and disease. For example, if a child is born with a cleft lip and palate then the surgery to correct that would be consider a reconstructive surgery. This would be listed as such because the cleft lip and palate can be problematic in the aspect that the can cause problems in areas such as speech.

Plastic surgeries seeking to restore a normal level of functioning are generally covered by insurance whereas the cosmetic surgeries do not.


COSMETIC SURGERY: Cosmetic surgery typically refers to more aesthetic surgery, a surgery to improve appearance or to change the appearance of something such as a nose, eyes or eyebrows. Cosmetic surgery is basically surgery with a goal of improving form. It is changing the shape of your body for the sake of making the patient happy. On the other hand, plastic surgery helps people to regain function.
