Plastic Surgery
- Plastic Surgery is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the correction, reconstruction, and enhancement of form and function across different areas of the body.
- It addresses both reconstructive needs—such as repairing defects, injuries, or deformities—and cosmetic needs—enhancing appearance, aesthetics, and self-confidence.
- Reconstructive plastic surgery covers procedures for trauma injuries, burn care, congenital anomalies (like cleft lip & palate), skin grafts, scar revisions, post-tumor excision reconstruction, and microsurgery for complex tissue defects.
- Cosmetic (aesthetic) plastic surgery includes procedures such as rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), liposuction, tummy tuck, breast augmentation/reduction, facelift, eyelid surgery, lip enhancement, and body contouring.
- Hand & microsurgery within plastic surgery specializes in repairing hand injuries, nerve/tendon repairs, replantation of amputated parts, and correcting congenital deformities of the hand.
- Craniofacial surgery manages congenital and acquired conditions of the face and skull such as cleft lip & palate, craniosynostosis, facial bone fractures, and jaw deformities.
- Pediatric plastic surgery provides corrective surgeries for children with congenital deformities, vascular malformations, birthmarks, cleft lip/palate, and ear anomalies.
- Burn reconstruction addresses acute burn wound coverage, contracture release, skin grafting, and cosmetic correction of burn-related scarring.
- Non-surgical cosmetic options offered by plastic surgeons include Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, PRP therapy, and laser skin treatments.
- Emergency plastic surgery deals with complex trauma cases such as facial fractures, severe lacerations, soft-tissue loss, crush injuries, and urgent microsurgery.
- Modern plastic surgery incorporates advanced techniques like endoscopic surgery, robotic reconstruction, 3D imaging & printing, regenerative medicine, and minimally invasive procedures for natural-looking results.
- Together, reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery help restore function, improve appearance, and enhance quality of life for patients of all ages.
