Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Approach
Plastic surgery includes both reconstructive procedures and elective aesthetic surgery. Reconstructive treatment may be used after trauma, cancer surgery, burns, congenital differences, or significant tissue damage.
Dr. Bhatia’s practice also includes aesthetic procedures such as facial surgery and body-contouring operations. Before elective surgery, assessment typically considers medical history, previous operations, medications, healing risks, and the specific anatomical concern.
Aesthetic surgery should be approached with realistic expectations and a clear understanding of possible complications, recovery, scars, and alternative options. The appropriate procedure varies from patient to patient rather than following a single appearance standard.
