What this clinicis actually for.
Plastic surgery is mostly reconstruction, not appearance - restoring skin, function and form after burns, accidents, infection and cancer surgery. Its other steady work is the wound that will not heal: diabetic ulcers, pressure sores and complex injuries that need a graft or flap rather than more dressings. Cosmetic procedures are part of the department too, offered plainly, with realistic expectations set before anything is booked.
Done in-house, usually the same day: Burns · Reconstruction · Scars

When to wait,and when not to.
Come in straight away if
Don't book an appointment for these. Come to emergency, or call +91 9100005195.
- A burn larger than the palm of the hand, or any burn to the face, hands or genitals - come in now
- A burn that looks white, leathery or painless (a deep burn needs urgent care)
- A deep cut with numbness or inability to move a finger
- A wound that has not healed in three to four weeks
- Spreading redness, swelling and fever around any wound
Lowering the risk
What actually makes a difference, not folklore.
- For burns first-aid: cool under running water for 20 minutes, never apply toothpaste, ice or oil
- Keep hot liquids, stoves and heaters out of children's reach
- Control diabetes and check the feet daily to catch ulcers early
- Protect healing skin and fresh scars from the sun for at least a year
- Don't self-treat a non-healing wound with repeated home remedies
Looking after yourself
Alongside treatment - never instead of it.
- Massage and moisturise a healing scar once the wound is closed, as advised
- Do the hand or limb exercises given after a repair - function depends on them
- Keep grafts and flaps protected and elevated exactly as instructed
- Cover new scars from sun exposure to stop them darkening
- Attend every dressing and review appointment; wound healing is watched over time
