What is a Workers Compensation Plastic Surgeon?
Mission Statement
Dr. Thomas J. Zaydon, Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon, Board Certified
Serving South Florida and the surrounding communities
Our Workers Compensation Mission Statement is to provide the highest quality of Plastic Surgery care to the injured worker. Our goal is to get the injured worker to MMI and back to work as soon as possible.
Does Workers Compensation cover plastic surgery?
Contrary to popular belief, not all plastic surgery is cosmetic. A portion of the plastic surgery field is required to live and function at a normal capacity.
For example, certain traumatic incidents can adversely affect the body’s ability to perform basic functions, such as talking, smiling, or eating. Plastic surgery can often improve these functional impairments.
Dr. Thomas J. Zaydon has been invited as a speaker at the 2021 Workers Compensation Convention which will be held between on the 22nd – 25th of August, 2021, in Orlando, Florida.

Will workers Compensation cover plastic surgery?
If plastic surgery is required due to an on-the-job injury, it is quite possible that the carrier may pay for the surgery. For example, if you have scarring after burns, had previous cosmetic surgery, which was compromised because of the trauma, experienced a deep laceration, there is the distinct possibility that Workers Compensation will cover.
What types of work related injuries require a plastic surgeon?
The following work related injuries may require the treatment, surgery, or expert medical opinion by a plastic surgeon experienced with workers’ compensation cases:
- Burns
- Nasal fractures
- Facial fractures
- Open wounds
- Wounds that will not heal
- Soft tissue hand injuries
- Skin ulcers
- Scars
- Changes in skin color from accidents
- Post-traumatic deformity
