Plastic, Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery

Our team of plastic surgeons are Board Certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Board certification in plastic surgery includes at least 3 years of general surgery training after completion of a basic medical degree. This then followed by 3–4 years of exclusive plastic surgery training followed by an additional 5 years of experience to a consultant grade in plastic surgery. Our plastic surgeons are also trained in aesthetic or cosmetic procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck/Abdominoplasty, breast reshaping, body contouring and facial rejuvenation. All queries regarding aesthetic, cosmetic and reconstructive procedures are discussed and planned during a personal/confidential consultation in a serene environment. We pride ourselves in our patient-centric approach to solving all queries. We endeavour to achieve the best functional and aesthetic outcomes for all our patients.

The surgical field of plastic surgery is quite extensive and covers entire body from head to foot to include craniofacial, head and neck oncoplastic surgery, burn reconstructive surgery, breast surgeries, body contouring surgeries, aesthetic/cosmetic surgeries, hand surgery, lower limb reconstructive, microsurgery, pediatric and oculoplastic surgery.
All plastic surgical procedures are graded on a ladder system ranging from the simple closure of wounds to complex reconstruction according to the severity of the clinical presentation. Complex reconstruction entails the use of microsurgery to transplant tissues from one part of the body to another part of the same body (sometimes even to another person – Face/hand transplantation) to restore the deficient area to normalcy.
