Clinical Overview
About Plastic Surgery at South City Hospital
The Department of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at South City Hospital is dedicated to restoring both form and function. Whether caused by road traffic collisions, burn injuries, congenital anomalies, or post-surgical defects, our plastic surgeons employ fine microsurgical techniques to reconstruct damaged tissues.
Accidental trauma frequently leaves severe soft-tissue loss, exposed bone, and tendon injuries. Our reconstructive team performs emergency wound debridement, rotational and free tissue flaps, and skin grafting to preserve limbs and maximize functional recovery.
In addition to trauma reconstructive surgery, our department provides elective scar revision, contracture release for post-burn limitations, and cosmetic corrections tailored to each patient's individual goals.

Patient Guidance
When Should You Consult Our Specialists?
We recommend scheduling an evaluation or visiting our emergency department if you experience:
- Extensive open skin and muscle wounds resulting from vehicular accidents or machine trauma

- Restricted movement in the fingers, neck, or limbs caused by tight post-healing scar tissue
- Prominent or painful facial scars that you wish to cosmetically improve
Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Plastic Surgery
Does plastic surgery only involve cosmetic appearances?
No. The majority of plastic surgery at South City Hospital is reconstructive—restoring bodily function, repairing trauma injuries, and helping burn survivors regain mobility.
What is the recovery period following a skin graft?
Skin grafts generally take 7 to 14 days to bond and adhere firmly to the wound bed, followed by progressive scar therapy and physical rehabilitation.
Can burn contractures from several years ago still be corrected?
Yes, reconstructive surgical release with Z-plasties and skin grafting can significantly restore range of motion even years after the initial burn.
