This is a fine line with great overlap between the two. In general, cosmetic surgery enhances and improves a healthy and functional part of the body while reconstructive surgery corrects a deformity, congenital or acquired, that can cause functional or cosmetic problems to a patient. The goal of reconstructive surgery is to restore the function and natural image of the body. Dr. Somogyi has received subspecialty training in both these areas and feels strongly that principles of each are required to accurately assess each patient's concern and to provide long-lasting, functional, and natural results.
