What is Reconstructive Surgery?

Reconstructive plastic surgery focuses on repairing and reshaping body parts affected by birth defects, trauma, disease, or medical treatments like cancer surgery. Unlike cosmetic surgery, which enhances appearance, reconstructive surgery primarily restores normal anatomy and function.

Reconstructive surgery is advised in conditions such as:

  • Post-cancer treatment (e.g., breast reconstruction after mastectomy)
  • Severe burns and scarring requiring burn surgery
  • Congenital anomalies such as cleft lip, ear deformities, or hand malformations
