PLASTIC RECONSTRUCTIVE and AESTHETIC SURGERY DEPARTMENT


  • ​medical-.avif
  • The Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery department, commonly known as Plastic Surgery, is a specialized division of healthcare that focuses on restoring, reconstructing, and enhancing the appearance and function of various parts of the body. Plastic surgeons are trained to perform a wide range of surgical procedures to address congenital defects, acquired deformities, injuries, and aesthetic concerns.
  • Here are some key aspects and functions of the Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery department:
  • I. Reconstructive Surgery:
  1. Trauma Reconstruction: Plastic surgeons play a vital role in reconstructing and repairing tissues and structures damaged due to traumatic injuries, such as fractures, burns, lacerations, and soft tissue injuries. They aim to restore function, improve appearance, and minimize scarring through techniques like skin grafts, flap reconstruction, and microsurgery.
  2. Congenital Defect Correction: Plastic surgeons perform surgical procedures to correct congenital defects, such as cleft lip and palate, hand and foot abnormalities, craniofacial anomalies, and other conditions present at birth. They work closely with other specialists, including pediatricians, geneticists, and orthopedic surgeons, to provide comprehensive care for pediatric patients with complex congenital conditions.
  3. Oncologic Reconstruction: Plastic surgeons collaborate with oncologists and other specialists to reconstruct tissues and structures affected by cancer surgery. They perform procedures like breast reconstruction after mastectomy, facial reconstruction after tumor removal, and limb reconstruction following sarcoma excision. The aim is to restore function, improve aesthetics, and enhance the quality of life for cancer survivors.
  • II. Aesthetic Surgery:
  1. Breast Surgery: Plastic surgeons perform various breast-related procedures, including breast augmentation (implants or fat grafting), breast reduction, breast lift (mastopexy), and revision surgeries. These procedures aim to enhance breast shape and volume, improve symmetry, and address concerns related to breast appearance.
  2. Facial Aesthetic Surgery: Plastic surgeons perform a range of facial procedures to improve facial aesthetics and address signs of aging. These may include facelifts, brow lifts, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), and chin augmentation. They also offer non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments like Botox injections and dermal fillers.
  3. Body Contouring: Plastic surgeons offer body contouring procedures to reshape and improve the appearance of various body areas. This may include liposuction, tummy tucks (abdominoplasty), body lifts, arm lifts, thigh lifts, and buttock augmentation. These procedures aim to remove excess fat and skin, tighten lax tissues, and enhance body proportions.
  4. Non-Surgical Aesthetic Procedures: Plastic surgeons often provide non-surgical aesthetic treatments, such as injectables (Botox, dermal fillers), laser treatments, chemical peels, and skin rejuvenation procedures. These treatments help address signs of aging, improve skin texture and tone, and enhance overall facial and body aesthetics.
  • III. Hand Surgery: Plastic surgeons specializing in hand surgery focus on treating various conditions affecting the hand and upper extremities. They address conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, hand fractures, tendon injuries, nerve injuries, and Dupuytren's contracture. Hand surgeons employ both surgical and non-surgical techniques to restore hand function and improve quality of life.
  • IV. Microsurgery: Plastic surgeons with specialized training in microsurgery perform intricate procedures that involve the use of microscopes and specialized instruments. These procedures may include tissue transfer (free flap reconstruction), nerve repair, replantation of amputated body parts, and complex reconstructive surgeries requiring precision and meticulous technique.
  • V. Research and Innovation: Plastic surgeons actively engage in research activities to advance the field of plastic surgery. They contribute to the development of new surgical techniques, technologies, and innovative approaches to improve patient outcomes, enhance safety, and refine aesthetic procedures.
  • The Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery department aims to provide comprehensive care for patients seeking reconstruction, restoration, or aesthetic enhancement. Plastic surgeons combine their surgical skills with artistic judgment to help patients achieve their desired outcomes, improve their self-confidence, and enhance their overall well-being.
