Reconstructive

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION
Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure that involves rebuilding one or both breasts that have been removed or damaged due to cancer treatment or other medical conditions. The goal of breast reconstruction is to restore a woman’s natural breast shape, size, and symmetry. There are several techniques for breast reconstruction, including implant-based reconstruction and autologous tissue reconstruction. Implant-based reconstruction involves using silicone or saline implants to create a breast mound. This method can be done in one surgery or in multiple stages. In the first stage, a tissue expander is inserted under the chest muscle and gradually filled with saline solution to stretch the skin and muscle. In the second stage, the tissue expander is replaced with a permanent implant. Autologous tissue reconstruction, also known as flap reconstruction, involves using tissue from the woman’s own body, such as from the abdomen, back, or buttocks, to create a new breast mound. This method may require more extensive surgery and a longer recovery time, but it can provide a more natural look and feel to the reconstructed breast. Breast reconstruction can be performed at the same time as the mastectomy, known as immediate reconstruction, or it can be done later, known as delayed reconstruction. The decision to have breast reconstruction is a personal one and should be made with the guidance of a plastic surgeon and healthcare team.
SCALP RECONSTRUCTION
Scalp reconstruction is a surgical procedure performed to correct deformities or injuries to the scalp and restore its normal appearance. The procedure involves using various techniques to reconstruct or repair the skin, tissues, and underlying structures of the scalp. Scalp reconstruction may be needed for a variety of reasons, including injuries, burns, birth defects, or previous surgeries. Depending on the extent of the damage, different techniques can be used to reconstruct the scalp, such as skin grafts, tissue expansion, or flap surgery. Skin grafts involve taking skin from another area of the body and grafting it onto the scalp. Tissue expansion involves placing a balloon-like device under the scalp to stretch the skin over time, allowing for a larger area of coverage. Flap surgery involves moving nearby tissue and blood vessels to the affected area to repair or reconstruct the scalp. Scalp reconstruction is often performed in conjunction with other procedures, such as hair transplantation or scalp reduction, to achieve the desired result. The goal of scalp reconstruction is to improve the function and appearance of the scalp and ultimately improve the patient’s quality of life.
CLEFT LIP
Cleft lip is a congenital condition where a baby is born with a split or opening in the upper lip. It is caused by a failure of the lip tissue to properly fuse together during fetal development. Cleft lip can range from a small notch in the upper lip to a complete separation of the lip and extending to the nose. Cleft lip is usually corrected with surgery, which is typically performed when the baby is between 3 to 6 months old. During the procedure, the surgeon will reposition and reshape the lip tissue to create a more natural appearance and repair the split. After the surgery, the baby may need to wear a special device called a nasoalveolar molding (NAM) appliance to help reshape the nose and mouth. Follow-up surgeries may also be necessary as the child grows to address any residual deformities or asymmetries. Cleft lip repair can greatly improve a child’s appearance, self-esteem, and ability to eat and speak properly.
FGM
FGM reconstruction, also known as female genital mutilation reconstruction or female genital cosmetic surgery, is a surgical procedure that aims to restore some of the physical and functional aspects of the female genitalia that were altered or removed during female genital mutilation (FGM). The procedure can involve a variety of techniques, depending on the extent of the original mutilation and the desired outcome. Some common techniques used in FGM reconstruction include clitoral hood reconstruction, labiaplasty, hymenoplasty, and vaginoplasty. Clitoral hood reconstruction involves creating a new clitoral hood to cover and protect the clitoris, while labiaplasty can be used to reshape or reconstruct the labia minora. Hymenoplasty involves reconstructing the hymen, which may have been partially or completely removed during FGM. Vaginoplasty can be used to tighten or reconstruct the vaginal canal, which may have been widened or shortened during FGM.
JAW STRAIGHTENING
Jaw straightening, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a surgical procedure used to correct misaligned jaws and improve facial symmetry and function. Misaligned jaws can cause a range of problems, including difficulty biting and chewing, speech difficulties, breathing problems, and sleep apnea. During the procedure, the surgeon will make incisions in the jawbone and reposition it to create a more harmonious facial appearance and improve function. The surgery can involve the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both, depending on the specific needs of the patient. Jaw straightening surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours to complete. After the procedure, the patient may experience some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication and cold compresses. Most patients are able to return to work and normal activities within a few weeks of the surgery, although full recovery can take several months. Jaw straightening surgery can greatly improve a patient’s quality of life by addressing functional problems and improving facial aesthetics.
MIGRAINE SURGERY
Migraine surgery is a type of surgical procedure that is designed to relieve chronic migraine headaches. The surgery is based on the theory that some migraines may be caused by compression or irritation of the nerves or blood vessels in the head and neck region. There are several different types of migraine surgery, including nerve decompression surgery, which involves releasing pressure on the nerves in the head and neck; trigger site decompression, which involves releasing pressure on specific trigger points that are associated with migraines; and muscle resection surgery, which involves removing a small piece of muscle that may be compressing a nerve. Migraine surgery is typically considered when other treatments, such as medication and lifestyle changes, have failed to provide relief. It is important to note that migraine surgery is not a guaranteed cure for migraines, and some patients may continue to experience headaches after the procedure.
ATHRITIS
Arthritis refers to the inflammation of one or more joints in the body. It can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling, and can limit mobility and flexibility. There are several types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and gout. Osteoarthritis is the most common type and is caused by wear and tear on the joints over time. Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the joints, leading to inflammation. Treatment for arthritis depends on the type and severity of the condition. It may include medications to manage pain and inflammation, physical therapy to improve joint function and mobility, and lifestyle changes such as exercise, weight management, and stress reduction. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to replace or repair damaged joints. Joint replacement surgery involves removing the damaged joint and replacing it with a prosthetic one, while joint fusion surgery fuses the bones together to stabilize the joint.
DEVIATED SEPTUM CORRECTION
Deviated septum is a condition where the cartilage that separates the nostrils is misaligned, making it difficult to breathe through the nose. It can also cause facial pain, snoring, and nosebleeds. Deviated septum correction, also known as septoplasty, is a surgical procedure that straightens and repositions the septum to improve breathing and alleviate symptoms. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision inside the nostril and lifts the mucous membrane to access the septum. They then remove or reshape the cartilage and bone to straighten the septum and improve airflow. Septoplasty is typically performed on an outpatient basis and takes about an hour to complete. Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to normal activities within a week or two after the surgery. The procedure has a high success rate and can greatly improve quality of life for those with a deviated septum.
ELECTIVE HAND
Elective hand surgery refers to surgical procedures that are performed on the hand, wrist, or fingers to correct or improve the structure and function of these body parts. Elective hand surgery may be performed for a variety of reasons, such as to correct deformities, repair injuries, or relieve pain. Some common types of elective hand surgery include carpal tunnel release, trigger finger release, tendon repair, joint replacement, and nerve decompression. Carpal tunnel release involves cutting the ligament that is pressing on the median nerve in the wrist to relieve symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Trigger finger release involves making a small incision in the palm to release a tendon that is causing the finger to get stuck in a bent position. Tendon repair surgery may be necessary to repair a tendon that has been cut or torn due to an injury. Joint replacement surgery may be recommended to replace a damaged joint with an artificial joint, while nerve decompression surgery may be performed to relieve pressure on a nerve that is causing pain or numbness. Elective hand surgery is generally performed on an outpatient basis, and patients can usually return to normal activities within a few weeks of surgery. However, recovery time and the success of the surgery will depend on the type and extent of the surgery performed.
BIRTH CONGENITAL ANOMALIES
Birth congenital anomalies refer to physical or functional differences that are present at birth and can affect a baby’s health, appearance, or ability to function properly. These anomalies can occur due to genetic or environmental factors, or a combination of both. Examples of birth congenital anomalies include cleft lip and palate, neural tube defects such as spina bifida, heart defects, Down syndrome, and limb abnormalities. Treatment for birth congenital anomalies varies depending on the type and severity of the condition. Some conditions may require surgery or other medical interventions shortly after birth, while others may be managed with ongoing medical care and therapy throughout the child’s life. Early detection and treatment of birth congenital anomalies can help improve outcomes for affected children, including reducing the risk of complications and improving quality of life. Prenatal screening and genetic testing can help identify potential anomalies before birth, allowing for early intervention and management.
HEAD RESHAPING
Head reshaping, also known as cranial reshaping or cranial molding, is a cosmetic procedure that involves altering the shape of the skull in infants or young children. It is usually performed to correct cranial asymmetry or flattening of the skull, which can occur during the birthing process or as a result of certain conditions such as plagiocephaly or craniosynostosis. The procedure typically involves the use of a specialized helmet or band that is worn by the child for several months. The helmet or band is custom-fitted to the child’s head and exerts gentle pressure on specific areas to encourage the growth of the skull in a more symmetrical shape. Head reshaping is most effective when performed during the first few months of a child’s life when the skull is still soft and pliable. The procedure is generally safe and non-invasive, and most children tolerate the helmet or band well. While head reshaping is primarily a cosmetic procedure, it can also help to improve a child’s cranial symmetry, which can in turn improve their overall head and neck posture and reduce the risk of developmental delays.
SCAR REVISION
Scar revision is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to minimize the appearance of scars caused by injury, surgery, burns, or other factors. The procedure involves removing the scar tissue and repositioning the surrounding skin to create a smoother, more even appearance. There are different techniques used for scar revision, depending on the size, location, and type of scar. Some common techniques include: Excision: This involves cutting out the scar tissue and stitching the surrounding skin back together. Dermabrasion: This involves removing the top layer of skin with a special tool to create a smoother surface. Laser resurfacing: This uses a laser to remove the outer layers of skin and stimulate the production of collagen, which can help to reduce the appearance of scars. Injection therapy: This involves injecting substances such as steroids or collagen into the scar tissue to help it flatten and fade. Scar revision can improve the appearance of scars, but it may not completely eliminate them
BODY CONTOURING

Body contouring refers to a series of cosmetic surgical procedures that aim to reshape and improve the overall appearance of the body. It typically involves removing excess skin and fat to create a more toned, sculpted look.
Some common types of body contouring procedures include:

• Liposuction: This procedure involves removing excess fat from various parts of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, and arms.


• Tummy tuck: Also known as abdominoplasty, this procedure involves removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightening the muscles to create a flatter, more toned appearance.

• Body lift: This involves removing excess skin and fat from multiple areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, to create a more contoured appearance.


• Arm lift: This procedure involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a more toned and sculpted appearance.


• Thigh lift: This procedure involves removing excess skin and fat from the thighs to create a more toned and defined look.

Body contouring can help to improve the body’s overall proportions and create a more youthful, toned appearance. It can also boost confidence and self-esteem. However, it is important to note that body contouring is not a weight loss procedure and should not be used as a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.

SINUSES/SNORING
Sinus problems and snoring are two common issues that can affect breathing and quality of life. The sinuses are air-filled cavities in the skull that are lined with mucus membranes. When they become inflamed or blocked, they can cause a range of symptoms such as congestion, pressure, headaches, and difficulty breathing. Snoring, on the other hand, is caused by a narrowing or blockage of the airways during sleep, which causes vibrations in the throat and can lead to disrupted sleep and daytime fatigue. There are several treatments available for sinus problems and snoring, depending on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. For sinus issues, treatment may include medications such as decongestants or antibiotics, or procedures such as sinus surgery or balloon sinuplasty to open up the nasal passages. For snoring, lifestyle changes such as weight loss, exercise, and avoiding alcohol and sedatives can help. In some cases, oral appliances or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines may be used to keep the airways open during sleep. In severe cases of snoring, surgery such as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) or genioglossus advancement (GA) may be necessary to remove excess tissue or reposition the jaw to open up the airways and reduce snoring.
BURNS
Burn injuries are a common type of injury that can cause damage to the skin and underlying tissues. Depending on the severity of the burn, treatment may involve a combination of medical and surgical approaches. One common surgical procedure for burn treatment is skin grafting, which involves transplanting healthy skin from another part of the body or a donor onto the burn site to speed up the healing process and minimize scarring. Scar revision is another surgical technique used to minimize the appearance of scars caused by burns. This can include excision, dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, or injection therapy. Severe burns can also cause contracture, which can restrict movement and cause the skin to become tight. Contracture release surgery involves cutting the scar tissue to improve mobility and function. In rare cases, severe burns may require amputation of a limb or digit if it has been irreversibly damaged and cannot be salvaged. Burn treatment often involves physical therapy and rehabilitation to help patients regain function and mobility after a burn injury.
AGING SKIN
As we age, our skin undergoes a variety of changes that can affect its appearance and texture. These changes can include the loss of collagen and elastin, which can lead to thinning, sagging skin and the development of wrinkles and fine lines. The skin may also become dry and dull, with an uneven texture and tone. To combat the signs of aging skin, there are several options available. These can include topical treatments such as retinoids, which can help to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, as well as moisturizers and serums that can hydrate the skin and improve its appearance. In addition, there are a variety of cosmetic procedures available that can help to rejuvenate aging skin. These can include chemical peels, which can remove the outer layers of damaged skin and stimulate the growth of new skin cells, and laser treatments, which can improve skin tone and texture by targeting specific areas of the skin. Other options for addressing aging skin can include injectable treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers, which can help to smooth out wrinkles and restore volume to the face. Surgical procedures such as facelifts can also be effective in reducing the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles. TISSUE EXPANSION Tissue expansion is a surgical technique used to create new skin that can be used to reconstruct a damaged or lost area of the body. The procedure involves inserting a balloon-like device called a tissue expander under the skin near the area that needs to be reconstructed. Over time, the expander is gradually filled with saline solution to stretch the skin and create new tissue. Once the skin has been adequately expanded, the expander is removed and the new skin is used to reconstruct the affected area. Tissue expansion is commonly used in reconstructive surgery to treat a range of conditions, including birth defects, skin cancer, and traumatic injuries. The technique allows for the creation of new skin that is a close match to the surrounding tissue, which can help to restore normal function and appearance. Tissue expansion is a relatively safe and effective procedure, but it does carry some risks, including infection, bleeding, and scarring. Recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the surgery, but most patients are able to resume normal activities within a few weeks of the procedure. Your surgeon will work closely with you to develop a customized treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals.
