Reconstructive plastic surgery
Reconstructive plastic surgery is a distinct area of plastic surgery which defers from cosmetic surgery. While the goal of plastic surgery is to enhance or alter manner of appearance, the goal of re-constructive surgery is to re-construct something abnormal to achieve normal appearance.
These abnormalities typically occur from a birth defect, a disease your body has fought or a tragic incident that you may have endured.
Examples of congenital abnormalities include:
- Cleft palate and lip
- Extra finger and toes
- Webbed fingers
- Skin growth
Acquired deformities span a broad range of abnormalities which have developed due to trauma, cancer, or other disease.
Examples of acquired deformities include:
- Breast cancer
- Skin tumors
- Burn scar
- Facial injuries
- Facial Maxillary Fractures
- Treatment For Non Healing Ulcer
- Microvascular Reconstruction
- Diabetic Wound Management
- Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve Injury
- Hand and foot injury
- Amputation
