Reconstructive Surgery

Restore your body's proper function or appearance due to trauma, birth defects, or disease with our competent team and the latest surgical technology at Barton Health.

Common reconstructive procedures include breast reconstruction following mastectomy for breast cancer and tissue rearrangement for reconstruction following skin cancer removal. For some patients, reconstructive surgery can also be performed to help manage complications from breast cancer treatment, like lymphedema (tissue swelling).

Reconstructive surgery can also address congenital issues including surgical correction of incompetent lip or palate, which can allow a child to eat and grow normally when addressed early. Or some birthmarks may also be addressed by reconstructive surgery.

Types of reconstructive surgery include:

• Breast reconstruction after lumpectomy or mastectomy
• Breast reduction
• Congenital anomalies
• Deviated septum correction
• Hand and foot defects
• Reconstruction after tumor removal
• Scar minimization
• Wound care including for burn victims

Reconstructive surgery is considered medically necessary and is usually covered by most insurances.
