7 Reconstructive Surgeries

The first thing that might pop into your head when you hear plastic surgery is celebrities with breast implants and face-lifts. However, plastic surgery is so much more than that. In fact, plastic surgeons conduct another surgery, reconstructive. This surgery improves how the body functions, instead of how it looks. Here are the top 7 reconstructive surgeries conducted:

1. Breast reduction. Although breast augmentation is the number one cosmetic surgical procedure, some women do not want to have larger breasts. Large breasts can cause back and neck problems. Breast reduction surgery helps to reduce the chronic pain.
2. Tumor removal. Reconstructive surgery removes tumors and restores functionality. As some tumors are larger and in tough spots, reconstructive surgery can remove the tumors and minimize scarring.
3. Burn care. If someone has suffered from burns, the aftermath can be debilitating. Reconstructive surgery can reduce the effects and restore the skin.
4. Scar revision. Scars from surgery or injury can be uncomfortable. There are a few types of scars that are severe enough to qualify for reconstructive surgery. These include, hypertrophic, keloids, and contractures.
5. Reattachment surgeries. This surgery is what it sounds like; it reconnects body parts and treats damaged nerves. The most successful reattachment surgeries are performed within four to six hours from when the body part was amputated.
6. Breast reconstruction. Women who have suffered from breast cancer will benefit from breast reconstruction surgery. The surgery works to reconstruct the shape of the breast to look more natural.
7. Congenital anomalies. Birth defects are caused because of malnutrition, infection, and alcohol and drug use during pregnancy. Sometimes, birth defects are caused for no reason at all. Congenital reconstructive surgeries are required to fix the appearance of the baby and restore functionality.
