Whether due to trauma, burns, surgical complications or congenital issues, our expert team delivers precise, personalized care to help you regain confidence, mobility, and quality of life.
Our Advanced Surgical Services Include:
Trauma & Accident Reconstruction
Emergency Soft Tissue Repair: For severe injuries involving open fractures, we provide immediate wound coverage using skin grafts and tissue transfer to prevent infection and promote proper healing. This is a crucial step in complex trauma care.
Complex Injury Reconstruction: We specialize in treating severe injuries like degloving or crush trauma with multi-layered reconstructive surgery, using muscle or fasciocutaneous flaps to restore function and shape to limbs.
Burn Care & Scar Management
Acute & Chronic Burn Surgery: Our expertise includes early surgical excision and grafting for deep burns to accelerate healing. We also perform contracture release for chronic burn scars, helping to restore a full range of motion.
Scar Revision & Correction: Our clinic offers both surgical and non-surgical treatments to improve the appearance and texture of painful or unsightly scars, from simple revisions to more complex procedures.
Post-Surgical Defect Reconstruction
Oncologic Reconstruction: Following the removal of tumors, our reconstructive surgery specialists restore aesthetics and function using advanced flap techniques to fill significant tissue defects.
Implant Salvage Procedures: In orthopedic patients, we provide tissue coverage procedures to protect exposed or infected implants, helping to save the initial reconstruction and prevent further complications.
Hand & Limb Microsurgery
Nerve & Vessel Repair: We perform delicate microsurgical procedures to repair nerves and vessels, particularly after hand trauma, aiming to restore sensation and blood flow.
Functional Limb Reconstruction: This includes procedures like tendon transfers and muscle flaps to help patients regain strength and mobility, allowing them to return to normal activities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What types of injuries need reconstructive surgery?
Severe trauma, burns, chronic wounds, and tissue loss from tumor removal are common reasons for reconstructive surgery to restore function and promote healing.
Is plastic surgery only cosmetic?
No. While plastic surgery includes cosmetic procedures, a large part of the field is dedicated to reconstructive surgery, which is medically necessary to restore form and function after injury, disease, or birth defects.
Can reconstructive surgery help with non-healing wounds?
Yes. Techniques such as flap surgery, skin substitutes, and regenerative therapies can be highly effective in treating chronic or non-healing wounds.
Will there be visible scars after surgery?
Some scarring is inevitable, but our surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize their appearance. We also provide post-op scar care, and follow-up scar revision is an option if needed.
How long is the recovery time for reconstructive surgery?
Recovery time depends entirely on the type of procedure and the area of the body treated. For simpler procedures like scar revision, it may be a few weeks, while complex cases involving microsurgery or large flaps can require several months of healing and rehabilitation. Your surgeon will give you a detailed timeline tailored to your specific case.
