During your first consultation, Dr. Wilson will assess your needs, review your goals, discuss possible procedures, and provide guidance on the most suitable options for you. You’ll also learn about the surgeon’s expertise and care philosophy. There is a consultation fee, which will be deducted from the procedure cost if you decide to proceed with surgery.
Reconstructive procedures may be covered by private or international insurance, except basic LAMal. We can assist with documentation for claims where applicable. Insurance companies do not cover the costs of cosmetic procedures. Insurance providers will typically only cover those expenses related to diseases, illness, and injury, including reconstructive procedures considered medically necessary because the condition interferes with the individual’s health or ability to function normally. Insurance carriers have different definitions for “cosmetic” and “medically necessary.” In some cases, the insurer may determine that part of the surgery is medically necessary. The patient is then responsible for the part of the surgery the insurance company considers cosmetic. If you have a question about insurance coverage, make sure you ask your plastic surgeon’s office staff. They can work with your insurer to determine what may be covered. Cosmetic surgery is done for personal and aesthetic reasons. However, some healthcare insurers include coverage for mixed procedures that are medically necessary to improve function or to treat injuries. Ask Dr. Wilson to learn more about whether your procedure qualifies for medical insurance reimbursement. Cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by insurance. Sometimes, however, an insurance company may pay for a procedure. Generally, if your surgeon believes it may be a covered service, he or she would be pleased to forward information to your insurance carrier. The insurance company will review your case and make a determination based on this information.
Cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve appearance and self-esteem. Cosmetic surgery is usually not covered by health insurance because it is elective. Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors, or disease. In general, reconstructive surgery is performed to improve function, but may also be completed to approximate a normal appearance. Cosmetic surgery improves appearance and self-esteem, while reconstructive surgery corrects abnormalities caused by congenital defects, trauma, or disease to improve function or approximate a normal appearance.

While results are long-lasting, natural aging will continue, and follow-up treatments may be necessary over time.
Scars are minimized and placed in less visible areas, with modern techniques used to reduce their visibility.
Risks include bleeding, infection, or wound separation, which vary by procedure. Smoking can greatly impact recovery, so Dr. Wilson enforces a no-smoking policy for patients. All surgeries come with risks, but plastic surgery is generally safe when performed by a qualified surgeon. Risks like infection, nerve damage, or anesthesia reactions can occur but are minimized with proper care. No surgery can guarantee perfection, but touch-ups or retouching can be done if necessary. Touch-ups are uncommon but may be necessary if healing issues arise, if patient expectations evolve, or as part of a multi-stage operation to perfect results.
With modern techniques, nearly all areas of the body can be treated.
