Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery aims to restore form and function whatever the problem. This includes surgery to reshape the body after birth defects, injuries, infections and cancer. Such operations typically use transfer of tissues around the body in new and exciting ways, such as transferring muscles to restore movement in a limb. Although function is important, a plastic surgeon is trained to improve appearance to reduce tell tale signs of surgery and the initial problem. For this reason, other specialties such as dermatology will refer patients with lesions that require removal but are significant enough to need reconstruction in order to close the wound or avoid deformity as a consequence of their surgery.
Mr Fattah undertakes the full range of reconstructive procedures including the removal of small skin cancers and has innovated the use of hidden incisions for treating benign lesions on the face, such as removing facial cysts from inside the mouth, via facelift scars or incisions hidden in the hair. Most such procedures are performed under local anaesthetic as a daycase.
