During plastic surgery, physicians use medical procedures to reshape or reconstruct parts of the body. Surgeons at 15 Khordad Hospital work in surgical sites that are outfitted with advanced technology, such as minimally invasive surgical equipment, to help reduce recovery times for patients and minimize scarring.
There are two types of plastic surgery: cosmetic and reconstructive.
Cosmetic surgery is an elective procedure in which normal parts of the body are reshaped to help improve a person’s appearance or reduce signs of aging. Because the treatment is elective, cosmetic surgery is usually not covered by insurance, however, patients should always check with their insurance providers to be sure.
Reconstructive plastic surgery corrects deformities due to burns, congenital abnormalities, traumatic injuries, infection, disease or developmental abnormalities, scars, or other issues caused by cancer or tumors. It is typically performed to improve function, but it can also be performed to give the face or body a better appearance. This type of plastic surgery is often covered by insurance, however, coverage can vary from procedure to procedure, so patients should always check with their insurance providers before having reconstructive surgery.
