Skin Care Line

UHS Plastic Surgery offers a complete line of NIA24® skin care products. This niacin-based skin care line was developed to reverse the visible imperfections caused by sun damage, such as hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles and a lack of firmness.

Insurance

Many health insurance policies cover reconstructive surgery. Cosmetic surgery, however, isn’t considered a medical necessity and typically isn’t covered by health insurance. Insurance coverage will be discussed at your consultation appointment. We also recommend you contact your insurance provider to determine if the procedure you’re considering is covered under your policy.

No matter what your reason for considering plastic surgery, the friendly and knowledgeable team at UHS Plastic Surgery will guide you every step of the way—from your initial consultation through your surgery and recovery—providing you with excellent care.
