Overview

Plastic Surgery is a branch of medicine which deals with the surgical management of a complex and wide array of diseases. It is a branch based on sound principles of restoring form with function, delicate tissue handling, minimum tissue scarring and patient specific treatment planning and execution. It is a branch coming to the rescue of challenging situations faced by other surgical specialties.
