Question:
What’s the difference between reconstructive surgery and plastic surgery?
Answer:
Plastic surgery can be divided into two categories, reconstructive and cosmetic. Reconstructive surgery changes function and structure that must be changed, eg for skin cancer or a cleft lip and palate. Here is a link to some of our reconstructive work:

Cosmetic surgery changes your appearance because you want to change it, not because it needs to be done.
