Plastic Surgeons can sometimes provide non-surgical alternatives to surgery including collagen injections and laser therapy.

Plastic Surgeon FAQs:
What is a

Plastic Surgeon

?
A Plastic Surgeon is a medical professional that performs enhancement, reconstructive, and anti-aging surgeries to correct medical problems or to enhance a patient's appearance.

What is the difference between a Cosmetic Surgeon and a Plastic Surgeon?
A Cosmetic Surgeon is a doctor that primarily performs elective and cosmetic surgeries. Cosmetic surgeries are typically not covered by health insurance companies. Plastic Surgeons, however, can perform both cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries. In addition to enhancement and anti-aging surgeries, Plastic Surgeons are authorized to correct congenital deformities, developmental abnormalities, and defects caused by injury, trauma, or disease. A patient's health insurance will generally cover reconstructive surgery, although coverage will vary.
