The Department of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at UMC Hospitals, the best plastic surgery hospital in Nashik, provides comprehensive surgical care for patients requiring reconstruction as well as selected aesthetic procedures. Our approach combines careful assessment, modern surgical techniques, meticulous tissue handling, and individualized treatment planning to achieve functional and natural-looking outcomes.
From complex wound reconstruction and hand surgery to post-cancer reconstruction, burn care, scar management, and aesthetic procedures, treatment is planned according to the patient's condition, expectations, overall health, and recovery requirements.
Skin Grafting
Skin grafting involves transferring healthy skin from one area of the body to cover a wound or area of skin loss. It may be used for burns, traumatic injuries, chronic wounds, and defects following surgical procedures.
Flap Surgery
Flap reconstruction involves moving tissue with its blood supply to cover a defect. Depending on the clinical requirement, local, regional, or free-tissue reconstruction may be considered.
Flap procedures can be particularly useful when important structures such as bone, tendon, nerves, or blood vessels are exposed.
Microsurgical Reconstruction
Selected complex defects may require microsurgical techniques in which very small blood vessels and nerves are repaired using specialized magnification and instruments.
These techniques can allow reconstruction of larger or more complicated tissue defects while aiming to preserve function and appearance.
Hand Reconstruction
Hand injuries require careful treatment because even a small injury can affect movement and grip.
Reconstructive procedures may include:
Treatment is often combined with hand therapy and rehabilitation to restore functional movement.
Wound Reconstruction
A wound that does not heal normally requires identification of the reason for delayed healing before reconstruction is considered.
The treatment plan may involve:
Complex wounds may be managed in coordination with diabetology, vascular surgery, orthopaedics, general surgery, infectious disease, nutrition, and other specialties.
Reconstructive Surgery After Cancer
Cancer surgery may sometimes result in significant tissue defects. Plastic and reconstructive surgery can help restore the affected area while maintaining oncological safety.
Reconstruction may be considered following:
The reconstructive plan is developed in coordination with the oncology and surgical teams.
Breast Reconstruction
For selected patients undergoing breast cancer surgery, breast reconstruction may be discussed as part of the overall treatment plan.
Depending on the patient's medical condition, cancer treatment, anatomy, and preferences, reconstructive options may include implant-based or tissue-based approaches.
The timing of reconstruction—immediate or delayed—is determined after considering the cancer treatment plan and individual clinical factors.
Scar Management and Revision
Scars can sometimes become raised, painful, itchy, tight, or restrictive.
Management may include:
The most appropriate approach depends on the type, location, age, and severity of the scar.
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery also includes procedures intended to improve selected aspects of appearance while maintaining realistic expectations and patient safety.
Depending on clinical suitability, aesthetic procedures may include:
Every aesthetic procedure begins with an assessment of the patient's expectations, medical history, anatomy, and suitability for surgery.
Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
The face contains structures that are important for appearance as well as essential functions such as vision, breathing, speech, and facial expression.
Reconstructive treatment may be considered for:
The surgical plan aims to preserve or restore both appearance and function.
Where clinically appropriate, modern surgical approaches may help reduce tissue trauma and support recovery.
Depending on the procedure, treatment may involve:
The surgical technique is selected according to the patient's condition rather than using the same approach for every case.
Reconstruction does not end when the surgery is completed. Rehabilitation can be essential for restoring movement and function.
Depending on the procedure, recovery may involve:
The recovery timeline depends on the type and complexity of surgery, the patient's overall health, and the body's healing response.
Selected minor procedures and suitable reconstructive or aesthetic interventions may be performed through day-care pathways.
For appropriate patients, this can allow discharge on the same day after adequate observation and recovery. Larger reconstructive procedures may require hospitalization and closer postoperative monitoring.
Pain management, wound care, early mobilization, nutrition, and rehabilitation are incorporated into the recovery plan according to the procedure.
Our experienced plastic surgeons in Nashik at UMC Hospitals offer individualized plastic and reconstructive care focused on restoring function, improving tissue coverage, and achieving natural-looking results.
