Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery is any procedure performed for cosmetic or
reconstructive purposes. In most cases, cosmetic plastic surgery
is not covered by insurance because it is an elective (not
medically necessary) surgery, though reconstructive surgeries
may be covered. Irrespective of plastic surgery costs, both
cosmetic and reconstructive procedures continue to gain increasing
popularity. According to the American Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), an estimated 11.9 million plastic
surgery procedures were performed in 2004, a 465 percent increase
since 1997.
