We offer a wide range of plastic surgery procedures at our convenient Leawood, Kansas location. Please use the drop down menu to learn about your options. For your convenience, we have listed information below outlining the differences between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery and why insurance coverage can vary between the two. Plastic surgery encompasses both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.
Cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve the patient's appearance and self-esteem. Cosmetic surgery is not covered by health insurance because it is elective.
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 for specific procedures and levels of coverage may vary greatly.
