Reconstructive Surgery & Restoration

Reconstructive procedures restore form and function following injury, surgery, or medical conditions. They address defects caused by trauma, cancer, congenital conditions, or disease-related complications. Whether restoring lost tissue, improving mobility, or enhancing appearance, reconstructive surgery supports both physical recovery and overall well-being.

Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction restores the shape and symmetry of the breast following mastectomy or lumpectomy. Techniques may involve implants, autologous tissue transfer (using the patient’s own tissue), or a combination of both to achieve natural results.

Head & Neck Cancer Reconstruction

Reconstruction after head and neck cancer treatment restores function and appearance following tumour removal. Techniques may include soft tissue reconstruction, bone grafting, or microsurgery to rebuild affected structures. This can improve swallowing, speech, breathing, and facial symmetry.

Skin Cancer Removal

Surgical removal of skin cancer involves excising affected tissue while preserving as much healthy skin as possible. Depending on the extent of removal, reconstructive techniques such as skin grafts or local flaps may be used to restore appearance and function.

Why Consider Reconstructive Surgery?

Reconstructive surgery restores function and appearance, enhancing quality of life and supporting recovery. It may be considered for:

  • Restoring Form & Symmetry

    Breast reconstruction and facial reconstruction help rebuild natural contours.

  • Repairing Trauma-Related Defects

    Lower limb and head & neck reconstruction address injuries or post-surgical defects.

  • Improving Mobility & Function

    Lymphoedema surgery and lower limb reconstruction enhance movement and reduce discomfort.

  • Skin Cancer Treatment & Healing

    Surgical removal and reconstruction support both medical recovery and aesthetic restoration.

Each procedure is carefully planned to achieve the best functional and aesthetic outcome for the individual.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How soon can breast reconstruction be performed after mastectomy?

Breast reconstruction can be performed immediately during mastectomy or delayed until after cancer treatment is complete. The timing depends on individual treatment plans and personal preference.

Will reconstructive surgery restore full function?

Reconstructive surgery aims to restore function as much as possible, but recovery outcomes depend on the condition, surgical approach, and individual healing response.

Does lower limb reconstruction help with walking ability?

Yes, procedures like flap surgery and bone reconstruction can improve stability, aid healing, and enhance mobility, particularly after trauma or infection.

Will there be visible scarring after reconstructive surgery?

Scarring varies based on the procedure and healing response. Surgeons aim to minimise scarring by placing incisions strategically and using reconstructive techniques that optimise aesthetic outcomes.

How does skin cancer removal affect appearance?

The impact on appearance depends on the size and depth of the tumour. When possible, reconstructive techniques such as skin grafts or local flaps restore both skin function and aesthetics.
