Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery fixes defects you were born with, defects caused by disease and defects caused by injury. You may need, for example, a breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, or hand surgery to fix congenital webbed fingers. Reconstructive surgery is different from cosmetic because it’s for medical reasons.
Examples include :
- Skin cancer excision and reconstruction
- Scalp reconstruction
- Ear reconstruction
- Forehead reconstruction
- Eyelid reconstruction
- Nose reconstruction
- Lip reconstruction
- Cheek reconstruction
- Trunk reconstruction
- Abdominal reconstruction
- Lower limb reconstruction

- Hand and upper limb reconstruction
- Congenital hands (polydactyl, syndactyl, amniotic bands)
- Cleft lip and cleft palate repair
- Burn care and surgical care of burns
- Facial lacerations
- All open wounds (head to toe)
