We offer microvascular surgery; a highly specialized technique used in complex reconstructive surgeries where tissue is transplanted from one part of the body to another. Specially trained plastic surgeons reconnect tiny blood vessels — typically less than 3 mm in diameter — under a microscope. This advanced surgery is often used with reconstruction after treatment of breast and head and neck cancers.

Will insurance cover plastic surgery?

Unlike reconstructive surgery following cancer treatment or injury, cosmetic surgery is often not considered medically necessary and, as such, may not be covered by insurance. However, you may find that it improves your outlook and quality of life. Even without insurance, medically supervised cosmetic treatments might be more affordable than you think.

If you have questions about whether a procedure is covered by insurance, please contact your insurance company.
