Plastic surgery that is performed for reconstructive purposes may be covered by an insurance policy in full or in part. It is important to understand the difference: “cosmetic” plastic surgery is generally performed on “normal,” healthy patients in order to enhance appearance. “Reconstructive” or “corrective” plastic surgery is intended to correct physical abnormalities that is either congenital or has been caused by an injury, a disease or an infection. The objective of reconstructive plastic surgery is to restore function to these parts of the body.
That said, there are many different financing options available for those who desire plastic surgical services. There are a large number of these procedures available to choose from. These include abdominoplasty, or “tummy tuck;” breast enlargement and lift, including male breast reduction (gynecomastia); both general and specific facelift procedures; chemical peel, laser facial resurfacing and dermabrasion; facial implants and collagen/fat injections and even ear, nose and eyelid surgery.
The surgeons are Drs. Kenneth A. Marshall and Robert C. Savage. Dr. Marshall has been in practice for over forty years. He has been certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery since 1977.

Dr. Savage is a graduate of the Jefferson Medical College, and has been an assistant Clinical Professor in Surgery at the Harvard Medical School since 1994.
