Reconstructive And Restorative Surgery in Kolkata

Reconstructive Surgery, or Plastic Surgery, is for patients requiring correction and reconstruction of facial and other body parts caused by injury, trauma, birth anomalies, burns, or diseases. The primary goal of reconstructive surgery is to improve the functionality of the reconstructed body part and achieve a more normal appearance. Common conditions addressed by reconstructive surgery are Breast Reconstruction, Breast Reduction, Facial Reconstruction, and Skin Cancer Scar Removal.

Restorative Surgery

Restorative Surgeries are performed to focus on repairing and replacing damaged or missing body parts to enhance function, appearance, or both. The goal is to restore the body’s normal functionality that may have been lost due to injury, trauma, disease, or ageing. Common conditions that are addressed by Restorative surgeries include, but are not limited to Cosmetic Surgery, Orthognathic surgery (Jaw Straightening Surgery), Joint Replacement Surgeries, Septoplasty (Deviated Septum), and Panniculectomy (Body Countering Surgeries).

FAQ's

Restorative Surgeries are generally safe and performed with minimal complications. However, side effects may exist such as infection, bleeding, anaesthesia, or poor wound healing. Moreover, factors such as patient health, the complexity of the surgery, and adherence to pre- and post-surgery instructions also play a crucial role. Medical healthcare providers at Manipal Hospitals in Broadway are well-equipped with immense expertise and knowledge in performing restorative surgeries of diverse complexities. 


 

Cosmetic surgeries are generally addressed to enhance the aesthetic appearance of an individual, while reconstructive surgeries are aimed to improve the function and appearance of body parts affected by accidents or birth anomalies. Restorative Surgeries are similar to reconstructive. However, it encompasses a broader spectrum aimed at restoration of appearance while also addressing functional problems.

Rhinoplasty, a procedure altering nose shape, may qualify as reconstructive surgery if it aims to improve breathing function. If the goal is to facilitate both breathing and enhance aesthetics, it is a restorative surgery. Cosmetic surgery applies when Rhinoplasty aims to enhance aesthetic appearance.
 

Your medical provider generally considers several factors if you need cosmetic surgery to ensure that you have an optimal treatment outcome after the procedure. Common parameters your medical healthcare provider would look into are your medical history, physical examination, treatment goals, risks and benefits, suitability for treatment, realistic expectations, and a psychological assessment to see if you are emotionally prepared for the procedure.
 

Reconstructive Surgeries usually involve harvesting tissue from one area of a body to repair another area. This is generally termed ‘Autologous Reconstruction’ and is a common type of Reconstructive Surgery. Other types of surgeries include:

  • Breast Reconstruction, where breast implants are used to recreate breasts for individuals who have undergone Mastectomy or removal of breasts due to diseases such as breast inflammation or cancer.

  • Jaw Reconstruction is a type of surgery where an implant is fixed on the jaw during surgery. Based on the required dimensions of the jaw, a 3-D printer is used to build an implant.

  • Grafts that involve skin, tendons, or bones are moved or transplanted to another body part that needs repair. 

  • Flap Surgery involves relocating tissue areas to experience skin, muscle, or bone loss. Flaps consist of tissue connected to their blood supply, and advancements in this technique have resulted in enhanced durability and functionality. 

The recovery journey for a patient who has undergone Reconstructive or Restorative Surgery is unique and may be subjected to different medications to reduce discomfort and pain. Your medical healthcare provider might schedule additional follow-ups to monitor your health and side effects.
 

During your appointment, your medical healthcare provider assesses your medical reports, medical history, current patient condition, and vital signs. Moreover, your healthcare provider might ask if you have any concerns or doubts to address. You will be recommended for a physical examination conducted by a team of healthcare professionals. Based on evaluations, personalised treatment, risks and benefits, and post-surgical plans will be discussed.
 

Surgical scars, especially after Reconstructive Surgery leave scars, although their visibility and extent can vary depending on factors such as type of surgery, skin condition, and wound-healing progress. You may have to address your concerns regarding scars during consultations with your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider may employ precise surgical techniques to mitigate scarring, along with comprehensive wound care instructions. Additionally, your specialist might recommend topical treatments such as creams or silicone, and the application of steri-strips to promote wound healing. In some cases, Laser therapy and Scar Revision Surgery are done to improve the appearance of the scar.
 

Breast Reconstructive Surgery is usually recommended for patients who have undergone Mastectomy, or removal of breasts due to breast cancer or due to other trauma or birth anomalies affecting the breasts. During Breast Reconstructive Surgery, your healthcare provider might provide you the option of reconstructing your breasts by harvesting your own tissues, also known as Flap Reconstruction, or with Silicon Implants. Different types of flap reconstruction exist, such as the Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) Flap and Transverse Rectus Abdominis Muscle (TRAM) Flap.

Flap Reconstruction typically requires longer hospital stays but may not entail as many follow-up appointments or ongoing maintenance. On the other side, Implant-based Reconstruction allows for a faster recovery period, but regular follow-up appointments are necessary.
