Plastic surgery is comprised of both aesthetic surgery and reconstructive surgery.  The lines that once divided aesthetic surgery from reconstructive surgery are no longer.

A reconstructive surgery should always be grounded firmly in aesthetic principles – with normal anatomy or even more aesthetic anatomy as the goal.  Aesthetic procedures are often reconstructive – what is beautiful is often what functions well.

Occasionally reconstructive procedures require more than one surgery. It may be a combination of multiple smaller surgeries before your reconstruction is ultimately complete.

Your result and how much you want to achieve is completely in your control. Dr. Ivey will be with you every step of the way. During your reconstructive process, you may want to take months or even years off from doing any surgery. This is all a part of the journey.
