The Plastic Surgery Department at Ratna Hospital offers advanced reconstructive and aesthetic surgical services designed to restore function, enhance appearance, and improve overall quality of life. Plastic surgery is not only about cosmetic enhancement but also about repairing and reconstructing defects caused by trauma, congenital anomalies, burns, or disease. With a patient-centered approach, cutting-edge technology, and a multidisciplinary team, the department ensures precise, safe, and effective outcomes.

Scope of Services

The Plastic Surgery Department provides care across two primary domains:

• Reconstructive Surgery – restoring function and appearance after trauma, cancer surgery, congenital deformities, or burns.
• Aesthetic & Cosmetic Surgery – enhancing appearance through safe, personalised procedures tailored to patient goals.

Reconstructive Surgery

Reconstructive plastic surgery focuses on restoring anatomy and function following injury, surgery, or congenital anomalies. Services include:

• Burn Care & Reconstruction – acute burn management, scar revision, skin grafts, and flap reconstruction.
• Post-Tumor Reconstruction – including breast reconstruction after mastectomy, facial reconstruction after cancer surgery, and limb salvage procedures.
• Trauma Reconstruction – repair of facial fractures, hand injuries, and soft tissue defects.
• Congenital Deformity Correction – such as cleft lip and palate repair, syndactyly correction, and craniofacial anomalies.
• Scar Revision & Keloid Treatment – improving function and appearance of hypertrophic or problematic scars.
• Microsurgery & Free Flap Reconstruction – advanced techniques for tissue transfer to restore form and function in complex cases.

The department integrates reconstructive procedures with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and rehabilitation for optimal recovery and long-term functional outcomes.
