Plastic surgery is more than what you see on television. For example, many breast cancer patients may choose to undergo reconstructive surgery to regain their confidence and feel whole again. Additionally, some patients may need help to reduce scarring or otherwise correct permanent, unwanted physical deformities that persist as a result of accidents or illnesses. Of course, others may want to enhance their appearance through any number of cosmetic approaches. Monument Health Plastic Surgery in Rapid City can guide you through all of these.
“To undergo plastic surgery is a deeply personal decision with many factors at play,” said Hunter R. Moyer, M.D., Plastic Surgeon. “Patients are sometimes looking for restorative surgery after breast cancer or trauma. No two patients are the same, and that is why respect is always a primary focus of our practice. We understand the courage and dignity it takes for patients to come to us to explore plastic surgery.”
Long considered an exclusive option for the wealthy or famous, cosmetic surgery is now a common, practical — and sometimes crucial — solution for patients from all walks of life. Dr. Moyer, his colleague Olga Schuth, M.D., and their team offer reconstructive surgery including post-cancer resection, like breast, as well as post-trauma defects. Cosmetic surgery encompasses everything from face lifts, mommy makeovers, liposuction, Botox and fillers to hand rejuvenation with fat grafting for a wide range of patients.
Cosmetic and reconstructive surgery is serious business. However, it doesn’t always have to be. That’s why Dr. Moyer and his staff like to explore the lighthearted side of their profession through social media.
