Plastic Surgery
- Medical Specialities
- Plastic Surgery
It is a common misunderstanding that the word plastic in plastic surgery means artificial. Rather, the word originated from the ancient Greek word plastikos, which means to mould or give form.
Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involved with both the improvement in a person's appearance and the reconstruction of facial and body tissue defects due to illness, trauma, or birth disorders.
Plastic surgery restores and improves function, as well as appearance.
We offer advanced, evidence-based care to address both functional and aesthetic concerns. Our team of highly skilled plastic surgeons specialize in reconstructive and cosmetic procedures, who aim to restore form, function, and confidence in all our patients
Key Services
Facial Injuries and Deformities
Facial injuries and deformities can significantly affect a person’s appearance, function, and self-esteem.
We manage a wide range of conditions, including:
- Cleft Lip and Palate: These congenital deformities affect the upper lip and the roof of the mouth, often leading to difficulties with feeding, speech, and ear infections. We use advanced surgical techniques to close the gaps and improve function and appearance.
- Facial Fractures: Broken facial bones from trauma can cause misalignment, pain, and difficulty in daily activities. We provide precise surgical repair to restore normal facial contours and function.
- Lacerations: Deep cuts or wounds on the face are repaired carefully to minimize scarring and restore the skin's natural appearance.
- Soft-Tissue Defects: Loss of facial tissue due to trauma, surgery, or disease is addressed using specialized reconstructive procedures that restore aesthetics and function.
- Behavioural Therapy: Addressing habits, phobias, or conditions such as OCD.
Hand Injuries and Deformities
Hands play a vital role in daily life, and any injury or deformity can impact their functionality. We provide specialized treatment for:
- Syndactyly: This involves the fusion of two or more fingers, which can hinder movement and grasp. Our surgical approach carefully separates the fingers to improve dexterity and hand function.
- Traumatic Hand Injuries: Fractures, dislocations, tendon injuries, and nerve damage are treated using advanced techniques to restore mobility, strength, and sensation.
- Congenital Hand Deformities: Our team provides corrective surgeries to address birth defects and improve hand appearance and usability.
Rhinoplasty
Correction of nasal deformity: In collaboration with ENT surgeons, our team corrects nasal deformity for functional and aesthetic purposes.
Ear repair, piercing, and reconstruction
Management of Keloid and Hypertrophic Scars
Ear repair, piercing, and reconstruction
We also specialize in treating hypertrophic scars and keloids using different treatment modalities.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft tissue injuries, whether due to trauma, burns, or disease, can result in complex wounds that require expert care.
We offer:
- Wound Debridement and Reconstruction: Cleaning and repairing wounds to facilitate proper healing.
- Skin Grafts and Flap Surgeries: Restoring damaged areas with healthy tissue from other parts of the body.
- Infection Management: Quick treatment of soft tissue infections to prevent further complications.
Orthopedic Trauma
Our plastic surgeons collaborate with orthopaedic teams to address injuries affecting bones, nerves, and soft tissues. We specialize in:
- Median nerve, Radial, and Ulnar Nerve Injuries: These nerve injuries can lead to loss of movement and sensation in the arm and hand. We aim to repair the damaged nerves and restore function.
- Brachial Plexus Injuries: Injuries to the network of nerves that control the shoulder, arm, and hand can result in significant disability. We aim to provide surgical solutions, including nerve grafts and transfers, to improve mobility and strength.
Hemangiomas
Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that typically appear in infancy and may grow rapidly. While many resolve on their own, larger or problematic hemangiomas require treatment to prevent complications such as ulceration or interference with vital functions. We provide advanced care, including laser therapy and surgical removal.
Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs)
AVMs are abnormal connections between arteries and veins that disrupt normal blood flow and oxygen delivery. These can lead to complications like bleeding or pain. Our specialists use cutting-edge imaging, embolization techniques, and surgical procedures to manage AVMs effectively and improve patient outcomes.
Diabetic Foot
Diabetic foot complications are a major concern for patients with diabetes, often resulting in chronic wounds and infections. At Zydus, our focus steadily remains at limb preservation at any cost, and we employ:
- Advanced Wound Care: Techniques such as negative pressure wound therapy, growth factors, and specialized dressings to promote healing.
- Reconstructive Procedures: Skin grafts and flaps to cover wounds and restore function.
- Infection Control: Comprehensive treatment to prevent the spread of infection and improve tissue health.
We are committed to salvaging limbs and avoiding amputation under all circumstances, ensuring our patients regain mobility and maintain their quality of life
Burns Care
Burn injuries require specialized and timely care to prevent complications and promote recovery. Our burns unit stands out as one of the few in the city with a dedicated ICU exclusively for burn patients. Key highlights of our burn care program include:
- Experience with Severe Burns: We have successfully treated many patients with burns exceeding 50% of total body surface area.
- Comprehensive Care: From initial wound management to rehabilitation and scar minimization, we provide end-to-end services for burn survivors.
- Emotional and Psychological Support: Dedicated counseling and therapy services to help patients cope with the trauma of burn injuries.
Our department combines clinical expertise with a patient-first approach. We ensure every treatment is tailored to meet the unique needs of our patients.
We also specialise in Reconstructive and Limb Salvage Surgeries. To know more,
