Reconstructive surgery covers a wide variety of procedures that help repair damaged tissue or correct abnormalities. These problems can be present from birth, or can result from traumatic injuries or disease.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 1 million reconstructive procedures are performed each year.
