A plastic surgeon deals with the repair, reconstruction or replacement of physical defects of form or function involving the skin, musculoskeletal system, craniomaxillofacial structures, hand, extremities, breast and trunk and external genitalia or cosmetic enhancement of these areas of the body. Cosmetic surgery is an essential component of plastic surgery. The plastic surgeon uses cosmetic surgical principles to both improve overall appearance and to optimize the outcome of reconstructive procedures. The surgeon uses aesthetic surgical principles not only to improve undesirable qualities of normal structures but in all reconstructive procedures as well.

How taxonomy codes are used
Providers choose one or more taxonomy codes when they apply for an NPI, and mark one as primary. Payers use the taxonomy on claims and enrollment to match the provider type and specialty, so the code on the claim should match the taxonomy on the NPPES record.
