Aesthetic & Reconstructive Plastic Surgery
The immense benefits offered by the highly specialized and sophisticated field of plastic surgery are now reaching people at large. Thanks to the mass media and increased public awareness, plastic surgery is no longer considered taboo or the "fancy of a few".

People with deformed or unsatisfactory body parts like heavy thighs, hanging tummies, huge breasts or crooked noses do not have to suffer silently from the physical discomforts and /or psychological trauma associated with these conditions. Aesthetic Surgery offers them a way out to look and feel good.

Reconstructive Plastic Surgery is mainly concerned with reconstruction of missing or deformed body parts of the face, trunk and limbs due to congenital defects, burns, trauma and cancer.

Well qualified and experienced plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic & Reconstructive Plastic Surgery Centre offer these services covering almost the entire range of plastic surgery.
