Frequently Asked Questions?
01. What is the difference between plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery?
Plastic surgery focuses on reconstructing and restoring form and function after trauma, cancer, burns, or congenital conditions. Cosmetic surgery is performed to enhance appearance and improve aesthetic features.
02. How do I know if I am a suitable candidate for cosmetic surgery?
A detailed consultation is required to assess your health, goals, medical history, and expectations. Suitable candidates are generally healthy individuals with realistic expectations about the outcome.
03. How long does recovery take after plastic surgery?
Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Minor treatments may require only a few days, while major surgeries such as tummy tuck or reconstructive procedures may require several weeks for complete recovery.
04. Is plastic surgery safe?
When performed by a qualified plastic surgeon in an accredited medical facility, plastic surgery is generally safe. Every procedure carries some risks, which are discussed during the consultation process.
05. Will there be visible scars after surgery?
Most surgical procedures leave some degree of scarring. However, plastic surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize scars and place them in less noticeable locations whenever possible.
06. What conditions can reconstructive surgery treat?
Reconstructive surgery can help patients with trauma injuries, burn deformities, cancer-related defects, congenital abnormalities, hand injuries, and soft tissue defects.
07. What is microvascular reconstruction surgery?
Microvascular reconstruction involves transferring tissue from one part of the body to another and reconnecting tiny blood vessels using specialized surgical techniques. It is commonly used after cancer surgery and major trauma.
08. Can burn scars and deformities be corrected?
Yes. Burn reconstruction procedures can improve both function and appearance by releasing contractures, improving mobility, and reducing visible scarring.
09. How soon can I return to work after surgery?
Return-to-work timelines depend on the type of surgery performed. Some patients resume office work within a week, while more extensive procedures may require several weeks of recovery.
10. What should I expect during my first consultation?
Your surgeon will review your medical history, examine the area of concern, discuss treatment options, explain expected outcomes, and answer any questions you may have regarding the procedure.

Many cosmetic surgery results are long-lasting, but factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, lifestyle habits, and overall health can influence the longevity of results
