How to Prepare for Reconstructive Plastic Surgery

The specific type of surgery will be determined by your physician based on:

  • Your age, overall health, and medical history
  • Severity of the deformity
  • Your tolerance of specific medications, procedures, or therapies
  • Location of the deformity
  • Your opinion or preference

Reconstructive plastic surgery may require multiple procedures done in several stages.

There are a number of areas in plastic surgery that may be either or both reconstructive or cosmetic, depending on a patient's situation. For example, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) may be a procedure performed for cosmetic improvement, as well as to correct eyelids that are drooping severely and obscuring vision.
