Reconstructive Surgery Helps Patients Rebuild Lives After Medical Trauma, Says Dr Monisha Kapoor
New Delhi: Plastic surgery extends far beyond cosmetic enhancement. Each year, thousands of patients recovering from cancer, severe burns, accidents, and congenital conditions turn to reconstructive surgery to restore functionality and confidence.
Dr Monisha Kapoor, a Gold Medalist plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience and India's first female member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, has specialised in helping patients navigate life-altering physical challenges. "Many people think plastic surgery is only about improving appearance, but a large part of our work is restoring what has been lost," she said, noting that reconstruction often represents the final healing stage for cancer survivors and accident victims.
