Quick Facts To Read Under Plastic Surgery

The objectives of the hospital are mentioned as follows:

Our multidisciplinary team of professionals provides contemporary care for cleft and craniofacial abnormalities. Children born with the problem of cleft palate or cleft lip have a wide array of issues that are often very complex and extensive. These include unclear speech, abnormal facial appearance, learning problems, dental issues, and poor hearing. However, craniofacial disorder is rare and occurs in every one in 2000 children.

Our team’s primary focus is to provide every child with a chance to improve their self-image and develop understandable speech, intact hearing, healthy teeth, and vision. The programs have helped many to carry out the smooth progression from childhood to adolescence and into adulthood.

We offer a wide variety of procedures under our reconstructive surgery treatment options that help to repair what is damaged. Damage such as tissue damage by congenital disabilities, severe burns or traumatic injuries, etc. Individuals also carry it out to correct body anomalies and facial problems like injury, disease, or aging. Our general goal is to create a normal appearance and regain the lost self-esteem of the patients. The following are the standard plastic surgery procedures that we offer at Sahyadri Hospital:

Our surgeons perform acute and elective hand surgery to restore and regain the structure and functionalities of the whole hand, including wrist and fingers. This defect may arise due to a medical condition, traumatic injury, severe infection, hand deformity, or congenital disability. No matter the reason, our highly trained and certified surgeons carry out emergency or elective procedures to treat this severity. It is a necessary step that you must take in burn reconstruction, tumour in the soft tissue, skin or bone, etc.

At Sahyadri Hospital, we have a team of highly experienced maxillofacial surgeons trained to handle various injuries and conditions affecting the mouth, jaw, head, neck, and face. Moreover, they are highly qualified to treat conditions like:

– Impacted wisdom teeth
– Misaligned jaws
– Cancer of the neck and head
– Dental implants
– Oral reconstructive surgery

The process helps the patient to correct many deformities. Moreover, the surgeries so performed are generally outpatient surgeries. In addition, our doctor will also provide you with a full recovery sheet to follow after surgery and other follow-up appointments to attend.

It is a surgical procedure carried out by our doctors and surgeons to reattach a part of the body, including the hand, finger, toe, etc. It is necessary when an organ or a part has been entirely cut from the body. The goal is to reattach and restore the injured part’s function to a normal level.

Replantation is sometimes not possible because the body part is too injured to be fixed. In such cases, doctors use prosthesis in place of the missing part. This means the doctor will not implant prosthesis if it is painful, will not work, or will not be used in the patient’s everyday activities.

The doctors of Sahyadri Hospital will recommend this surgery when they want to remove cancer. For instance, if you have breast cancer, they will suggest you go through reconstructive surgery. In the process, our well-versed doctors will replace your breast with an implant. Another example is if you are going through skin, neck, or any other cancer, the doctor will try to treat it by removing tissues and nerves from these areas. Our doctor will work closely with your oncologist and other healthcare members to treat this problem from the root.

Other than plastic surgery, we also offer our patients cosmetic surgery treatment, aiming to improve the patient’s appearance. It can be performed on all the body areas, including the neck, head, and body. People choose to go through cosmetic surgery not because the particular part is not working correctly but because it lacks aesthetic appeal. The following are the processes that we offer at Sahyadri Hospital:

To reduce ageing signs in people, the patient can opt for the facelift option provided by Sahyadri Hospital. It helps reduce folds and sagging on the skin, making you look younger. Moreover, if you want to reduce fat from specific areas of the body like hips, abdomen, arms, buttocks, or neck, then liposuction can benefit you. In addition to this, we also offer abdominoplasty to patients who wish to have a thinner and firm abdomen.

We also offer our patients the option of Rhinoplasty. It helps change the appearance of the nose and improves the ability to breathe. This can be done for functional as well as aesthetic purposes.

This process helps the patients minimize the scar and blend it with the surrounding skin texture and tone. The revision will not remove the scar or heal it but will make it less visible and more cosmetically appealing.

It is a multidisciplinary approach that the doctor uses to combine the results of orthopaedics and the principle of plastic surgery to relieve the patient of musculoskeletal problems. For example, if the patient lacks soft tissue, the doctor may recommend orthopaedic surgery to treat failed joint replacement. You may also need surgery for soft tissue reconstruction in people with cancer or trauma or nerve and neuroma management for patients suffering through limb amputations.

Our hospital also has a separate burn clinic to provide extensive care to our patients. As soon as you arrive at this Clinic, the doctor will assess the severity of the burn by examining it. If the situation is worse, i.e., the burn appears on more than 10 percent of the body, you will be asked to get admitted to the burn centre. You will also be treated as a severe case if the burn is deep, on the feet or groin, face or follows other burn association criteria.

You can treat a minor burn from home in just a couple of weeks. But for severe burns, you need first aid and wound assessment, wound therapy, medication, surgery, and other processes. The doctors’ goal is to treat pain, prevent the appearance of infection, remove dead tissue, reduce scarring, and regain normal function. In addition to medical treatment, patients who have suffered from severe burn accidents also require emotional support and extended follow-up care like physical therapy.
