What reconstructive surgery may address
Assessment may involve wounds or scars, burn contractures, hand injuries, facial or soft-tissue defects and problems following trauma or previous treatment. Some conditions need input from other specialties.
Restoring form and function
Reconstructive plastic surgery aims to restore function, coverage and proportion after injury, burns, disease, congenital difference or previous surgery. The goal and technique depend on the tissue missing and the patient’s wider health.

Patient information
Assessment may involve wounds or scars, burn contractures, hand injuries, facial or soft-tissue defects and problems following trauma or previous treatment. Some conditions need input from other specialties.
A surgeon may compare direct closure, scar revision, skin grafting, local tissue rearrangement or flap reconstruction. The simplest appropriate option is considered, but complex defects sometimes require staged care.
Coverage, movement, sensation, breathing, eyelid closure, facial balance and scar placement can all influence planning. Improvement may be possible without returning tissue to its pre-injury state.
Assessment reviews the original condition, previous operations, scars, circulation, infection, smoking or nicotine exposure, medicines, imaging and realistic priorities. Medical optimisation may be needed before reconstruction.
Healing varies from weeks to many months. Dressings, drains, splints, physiotherapy or hand therapy may be required, and some reconstructions need later refinement.
Possible problems include bleeding, infection, wound separation, graft or flap loss, altered sensation, stiffness, conspicuous scars and the need for revision. Cost depends on complexity, stages, facility, anaesthesia and rehabilitation.
Treatment availability and suitability are confirmed by the clinic after assessment. These guides are educational and do not replace individual medical advice.

The hand contains small bones, joints, tendons, nerves, blood vessels and specialised skin working together. Symptoms that appear similar can have different causes, so diagnosis and functional assessment come before treatment.

A fresh burn and a mature burn scar require very different care. Large, deep, electrical or chemical burns—and burns affecting the face, hands, airway or major joints—need prompt hospital assessment rather than an ordinary clinic appointment.

Scar revision aims to make a scar less conspicuous, better aligned or more comfortable. It cannot restore uninjured skin, and a new scar replaces the old one after surgical revision.

A keloid is a raised scar that grows beyond the original wound boundary. Treatment can flatten, soften or reduce symptoms, but recurrence is common—especially when excision is used without an appropriate combined plan.

Reconstructive surgery primarily addresses function, coverage or tissue loss, although appearance remains important. Cosmetic surgery primarily changes appearance in otherwise normal anatomy.
A skin graft moves skin without its own blood supply to a prepared wound bed, where it must establish a new blood supply to survive.
A flap transfers tissue while preserving or reconnecting a blood supply. It may provide skin, fat, muscle or other tissue for a defect.
No. It may improve function, coverage or appearance, but scars and other limitations generally remain.
Staging can manage safety, tissue healing, rehabilitation and later refinement when one operation cannot reasonably achieve every goal.
Recovery depends on the defect and method. Simple scar surgery and complex flap reconstruction have very different healing and rehabilitation timelines.
