"Reconstructive" denotes the act of restoring something following damage or destruction. Birth anomalies, accidents, illness, and aging can lead to facial and bodily irregularities necessitating reconstructive plastic surgery. Instances encompass cleft lip and palate correction and breast reconstruction. This type of surgery aims to enhance bodily function and, at times, emulate or enhance a natural look. Reconstructive surgery falls under the umbrella of plastic surgery. Given its medical importance, many health insurance providers cover reconstructive procedures as they are considered medically necessary.
