Frequently asked questions

Plastic surgeons manage reconstructive needs after trauma, burns, wounds, cancer surgery, and congenital differences, as well as selected aesthetic procedures. Care may involve repair of skin, soft tissue, tendons, nerves, and related structures, with attention to both function and appearance.

Seek assessment for a wound that is deep, not healing, repeatedly breaking down, exposing tendon or bone, limiting movement, or showing signs of infection. Non-Healing Wounds and Diabetic Foot Management can be reviewed when closure or a diabetes-related foot wound needs reconstructive care. Emergency symptoms need urgent hospital care first.

Yes. Hand injuries involving tendons, nerves, soft tissue, or complex wounds may need plastic or reconstructive assessment. Early evaluation helps protect movement, sensation, and long-term function.

Yes. Assessment is available for burn scars, post-burn contractures, and functional burn deformities. Options may include scar care, contracture release, skin grafting, or reconstruction, depending on the area and individual condition.

Skin grafting may be considered when a prepared wound needs durable coverage and surrounding tissue alone is not enough. Suitability depends on wound depth, location, infection control, and available donor skin. It is decided after clinical assessment.

Flap reconstruction may be considered when deeper structures are exposed, soft-tissue loss is substantial, or a graft alone is unlikely to provide stable coverage. The choice between local, regional, or free flaps depends on the wound and available tissue.

The first visit usually includes medical history, examination of the concern, review of available records or imaging, and a clear discussion of options, limitations, recovery, and next steps. It is an assessment and planning visit, not an automatic decision to operate.

Yes, when available. Bring discharge summaries, operation notes, imaging, wound-care records, prescriptions, and oncology or therapy reports relevant to your concern. These help the surgeon understand prior treatment and plan efficiently.
