Plastic Surgery


PLASTIC SURGERY:
Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It includes cosmetic or aesthetic surgery,reconstructive surgery, craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns.The main aim of plastic surgery is to restore the function of tissues and skin to as close to normal as possible. Improving the appearance of body parts is an important, but secondary aim.
Plastic surgery is different to cosmetic surgery, which is surgery carried out solely to change a healthy person’s appearance to achieve what they feel is a more desirable look. Plastic surgery can be used to repair:

  • Abnormalities that have existed from birth, such as a cleft lip and palate, webbed fingers and birthmarks
  • Areas damaged by the removal of cancerous tissue, such as from the face or breast
  • Extensive burns or other serious injuries, such as those sustained during traffic accidents.

At Q1 hospitals, we have experienced plastic surgeons with extensive training who belong to professional associations.We also undertake surgeries like skin grafting,skin flap surgery and tissue expansion surgeries.We also have a wide range of other methods, such as fat transfer or grafting (where fat is removed from one area and inserted in another area, usually to correct unevenness), vacuum closure (where suction is applied to a wound through a sterile piece of foam to draw out fluid and encourage healing), camouflage make-up or cream, and prosthetic devices, such as artificial limbs.
