About Reconstructive Surgery

Reconstructive surgery, performed by specialists in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, is a vital medical specialty focused on restoring form and function to parts of the body affected by congenital defects, trauma, infection, tumors, or disease. Unlike purely cosmetic procedures, its primary goal is to improve functionality and achieve a more typical appearance. Surgeons utilize advanced techniques, including tissue transfer, microsurgery, and flap procedures, to rebuild areas such as the face, breasts, hands, and limbs. This patient-centered approach not only addresses physical impairments but also significantly enhances psychological well-being and quality of life by helping individuals regain confidence and normalcy.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three doctors with...

I'd been to three doctors with this weird fatigue and pain, everyone said it was stress. Dr. Mohanty was the first one who actually stopped and listened. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in plain English, no fancy jargon. I'm on the right treatment now, and I finally feel like myself again.
