Reconstructive Surgery
Serving Albuquerque & Santa Fe, New Mexico
The
goals of reconstructive surgery differ from those of cosmetic surgery.
Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the
body, caused by birth defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma
or injury, infection, tumors, or disease. It is generally performed
to improve function but may also be done to approximate a normal
appearance.
Whether
the defect is congenital or acquired, Dr. Hopkins can usually restore
comfort, mobility and normal appearance to patients with hand problems.
In addition to correcting cuts and other surface wounds, Dr. Hopkins
also regularly treats both cancerous and non-cancerous growths,
and problems with the supporting structures beneath the skin. Reconstructive
surgery is generally covered by most health insurance policies,
although coverage for specific procedures and levels of coverage
may vary greatly. |
