The specialty of plastic surgery includes two branches: cosmetic or aesthetic surgery, which is done on an elective basis to enhance the patient's appearance; and reconstructive surgery, which is done to repair birth defects and deformities caused by disease or trauma. At Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona, Doctors Lex, Quigley, and Bruggeman perform both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, with reconstructive surgery accounting for more than 50% of their practice.
Reconstructive surgery includes a great variety of procedures on many different parts of the body. Some of the more commonly performed reconstructive surgery procedures include:
Many reconstructive surgeries are covered by medical insurance. Doctors Lex, Quigley, and Bruggeman accept a great variety of different insurance and health plans. The Doctors perform most of their surgical procedures at Northern Arizona SurgiCenter (NASC), the state-licensed and Medicare-certified ambulatory surgery center housed in the same building as Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona (at 1020 North San Francisco Street in Flagstaff). NASC is a very comfortable and convenient facility for our patients and, like the Doctors, accepts a wide variety of insurance and health plans.
The Doctors also have current hospital priveleges at: Flagstaff Medical Center, Verde Valley Medical Center, Kingman Regional Medical Center, Page Hospital, Payson Regional Medical Center, and Navapache Regional Medical Center.
