The Importance of Reconstructive Surgery: Beyond Aesthetics

When people think of plastic surgery, they often envision cosmetic enhancements. However, reconstructive surgery – a crucial aspect of the field - tends to be overlooked. Serving a far-reaching purpose far beyond aesthetics, reconstructive surgery can restore function and normal appearance, as well as boost self-esteem. At Guy Trengove-Jones MD, Plastic Surgeons of Hampton Roads, we firmly believe in the life-altering power of reconstructive surgery.


Understanding Reconstructive Surgery:


Reconstructive surgery differs from cosmetic surgery as it is typically performed to improve function and to approximate a normal appearance. It is undertaken to repair damage caused by trauma, infection, tumors, congenital defects, or disease. From addressing hand problems to facial injuries, reconstructive surgery covers a broad spectrum of procedures that aim to restore bodily function and form.


Life-Changing Applications:


Reconstructive surgery has the potential to change lives. It can offer relief from severe burns, reconstruct a woman's body post-mastectomy, or restore the function of a hand after a severe injury. The impact of these procedures extends beyond physical appearance, offering an opportunity for patients to regain their independence and enhance their quality of life.


Boosting Self-Confidence:


While the primary goal of reconstructive surgery is to restore function, it also plays a significant role in building self-confidence. Living with a physical irregularity, whether it has been present since birth or caused by an accident, can profoundly affect an individual's psyche. Reconstructive surgery can help people feel more comfortable in their skin, facilitating better body image and improved mental health.
