There are more than 1 million reconstructive surgery procedures performed in the United States each year. The main reasons people seek reconstructive plastic surgery include birth defects or deformities that may inhibit daily living activities, medical needs and traumatic injuries. Dr. Rex Moulton-Barrett performs reconstructive plastic surgery procedures in Alameda and Brentwood to correct skin or body deformities and repairs the function and appearance of a specific body part or feature defect.
Reconstructive plastic surgery can help repair the part of your body that is affected by any of these issues. The term “plastic” surgery derives from the Greek plastikos, meaning to mold or to shape, thus plastic surgery means “molding or shaping surgery.” A board-certified plastic surgeon is able to treat patients who need reconstructive surgery and focus on their cosmetic and medical needs.
