Reconstructive surgery is a medical procedure aimed at restoring the appearance and function of body parts that have been damaged due to injury, illness, or congenital conditions. This type of surgery can involve various techniques, including skin grafts and tissue expansion, to repair or replace affected areas.
Common reasons for undergoing reconstructive surgery include trauma from accidents, removal of tumors, or correcting birth defects. Surgeons often work closely with patients to create personalized treatment plans that address their specific needs and goals, ensuring the best possible outcomes for both function and aesthetics.
