By definition Cosmetic Surgery is a procedure performed on a normal structure or part of the body. When cosmetic surgery is done, it is to improve or enhance that structure. These procedures are never covered by insurance policies. Reconstructive Surgery is done to restore or repair a structure or body part. Any time an injury occurs or a structure is removed due to cancer, the reconstruction is covered by insurance. We always send a precertification to your insurance carrier to verify coverage in advance. Certain procedures such as breast reduction or eyelid ptosis correction may be covered by your insurance carrier.
