Whether you are considering reconstructive plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery, Skagit Regional Health provides highly skilled surgeons and compassionate staff to care for your needs. Plastic and reconstructive surgery refers to a variety of highly specialized surgical procedures performed to repair or restore function for a range of conditions, or to improve appearance. Our expert team of surgeons offer leading-edge care to patients across Skagit, Island and north Snohomish counties.

Reconstructive Plastic Surgery Improves Function and Appearance

Reconstructive plastic surgery is performed for the correction of facial and body issues that may be caused by birth defects, disease, injury or the normal aging process. Usually, the goal of reconstructive plastic surgery is to improve body function. However, reconstructive plastic surgery, also called cosmetic surgery, may also be done to create a more normal appearance and improve self-esteem. Abnormal structures of the body that can be corrected or improved with reconstructive surgery may result from:

• Birth defects
• Developmental abnormalities
• Disease
• Infection
• Injury
• Tumors
