When severe burns, traumatic injuries, congenital anomalies, or post-oncological resections alter the body's structure, the physical and emotional impact can be profound. Reconstructive and cosmetic interventions aim to restore both function and personal confidence. At Manipal Hospital Hebbal, a specialised plastic surgery hospital in Hebbal, Bangalore, we deliver high-precision microsurgical procedures and refined aesthetic refinements that improve healing while keeping recovery times manageable. By combining advanced tissue transfer techniques with micro-incision access points, our surgical teams perform complex restorations, repairing skin, nerve, and structural damage effectively following critical life events.

Why Manipal Hospitals?
The practice of reconstructive and aesthetic microsurgery requires excellent manual dexterity, microscopic vision, and the immediate availability of sophisticated surgical technology. Our surgeons are specialists in navigating delicate microvascular networks, damaged nerve pathways, and complex soft tissue defects with minimal disruption to surrounding donor sites. At Manipal Hospital Hebbal we support this technical precision with empathetic, clear communication so that patients and their families understand the mechanics of flap transfers, tissue expansion and scar-minimisation protocols beforehand. Our centre is considered the best plastic surgery hospital in Hebbal, Bangalore, by patients and referring physicians for the following reasons:
- Team of plastic and reconstructive surgeons with extensive experience in microsurgery, craniofacial surgery, hand surgery and aesthetic surgery, offering specialised expertise to each case, rather than a generalised approach.
- Routine use of advanced 3D planning and imaging for complex craniofacial and post-traumatic reconstructions, enabling the surgical blueprint to be studied in detail before the first cut.
- Microsurgical reconstruction, including free tissue transfer, is of high priority, with operating microscopes providing opportunities for limb salvage and complex wound coverage otherwise requiring amputation or prolonged disability.
- Working with surgical oncology, orthopaedics, ENT and dermatology teams to integrate reconstructive plans into the primary treatment pathway from the outset.
Plastic Surgery and Reconstruction Department
The Plastic Surgery and Reconstruction unit at Manipal Hospital Hebbal addresses a wide spectrum of conditions, from life-altering congenital deformities and traumatic injuries to the subtle refinements of aesthetic surgery. We treat paediatric conditions like cleft lip and palate, post-burn contractures, hand injuries, and the aftermath of major cancer resections requiring complex flap cover. Alongside these reconstructive pillars, our unit offers a full range of cosmetic procedures, all delivered with the same medical rigour and safety standards.
Services Offered
As one of the most comprehensive plastic surgery hospitals in Hebbal, Bangalore, Manipal Hospitals delivers a broad array of surgical and non-surgical services, combining meticulous technique with evidence-based protocols.
- Reconstructive microsurgery, including free fibula, anterolateral thigh, and DIEP flaps for head and neck, limb, and breast reconstruction following cancer surgery.
- Craniofacial and maxillofacial reconstruction for congenital anomalies like cleft lip and palate, as well as post-traumatic facial fractures.
- Hand surgery encompassing tendon and nerve repair, fracture fixation, and correction of congenital hand differences such as syndactyly.
- Burn reconstruction and scar revision using tissue expansion, Z-plasty, and laser-based scar modulation to restore mobility and appearance.
- Breast reconstruction following mastectomy, including implant-based and autologous tissue (flap) techniques, often performed immediately after the oncologic resection.
- Body contouring procedures after massive weight loss, such as abdominoplasty, thigh lift, and arm lift, addressing excess skin and restoring body proportion.
- Aesthetic surgery of the face, breast, and body, including rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, facelift, liposuction, and augmentation or reduction mammoplasty.
- Non-surgical aesthetic procedures, including botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser treatments delivered under physician supervision with an eye for natural results.
- Lymphoedema surgery, including lymphovenous anastomosis and vascularised lymph node transfer, for patients suffering from chronic limb swelling after cancer treatment.
Facilities & Services
Our infrastructure supports the demands of fine, lengthy reconstructive procedures and the delicate monitoring they require afterwards:
- Dedicated microsurgical operating suites equipped with high-magnification operating microscopes, fine instrumentation, and loupes for precise tissue handling.
- A specialised burn unit with controlled temperature and infection barriers, designed for early excision and grafting to improve burn outcomes.
- Advanced laser platforms for scar revision, vascular lesions, and skin resurfacing, bridging the gap between surgery and dermatology.
- A high-dependency unit capable of frequent flap monitoring through clinical assessment and Doppler probes during the critical post-operative window.
- 3D imaging and planning software for craniofacial and breast reconstruction, facilitating patient-specific implant templates and osteotomy guides.
- Negative pressure wound therapy and hyperbaric oxygen facilities available to support patients with compromised wound healing capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plastic surgery is a broad surgical speciality covering reconstructive and aesthetic procedures. Reconstructive plastic surgery addresses functional and structural defects caused by birth anomalies, trauma, burns, or disease. Cosmetic surgery, which falls under the plastic surgery umbrella, is performed to enhance the appearance of otherwise normal structures. At our unit, both streams are served with the same commitment to safety and detail.
All surgery creates scars; however, plastic surgeons are specifically trained in techniques that minimise scarring. Incisions are placed along natural skin creases or hidden boundaries, and closure is performed in layers to reduce tension on the skin. Post-operative protocols, including silicone gel, sun protection, and sometimes laser treatments, can further soften and fade scars over time.
Recovery depends on the procedure. A free flap reconstruction may require a hospital stay of five to ten days, with a gradual return to normal activity over six to eight weeks. Your surgeon will provide a detailed timeline, and our physiotherapy and wound care teams will support you through each phase so that recovery is steady and supervised.
Yes. Having aesthetic procedures performed in a fully equipped hospital, with board-certified anaesthesiologists and immediate access to critical care if needed, adds a significant margin of safety. Even elective cosmetic surgery can involve risks such as deep vein thrombosis or unexpected reactions, and hospital infrastructure ensures these are managed without delay.
Most reconstructive procedures performed for medical reasons, such as breast reconstruction after cancer, correction of a cleft lip, or hand trauma repair, are covered by health insurance. Purely cosmetic procedures are typically not covered. Our team guides you through the pre-authorisation process and helps clarify what your policy includes before any surgery is scheduled.
