Plastic and cosmetic surgery is more than enhancing appearance—it also plays an important role in restoring function, improving confidence, correcting congenital conditions, and rebuilding tissues affected by injury, burns, trauma, or disease. At Deepam Hospitals, our Plastic Surgery & Cosmetic Surgery Department offers comprehensive reconstructive and aesthetic surgical care using modern techniques, evidence-based practices, and a patient-centred approach.
Led by Gunasekaran, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, our department provides personalised treatment for patients requiring reconstructive procedures, scar management, burn reconstruction, hand surgery, skin and soft tissue surgery, as well as selected cosmetic procedures. Every treatment plan is designed after a thorough clinical assessment, ensuring patient safety, realistic expectations, and optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Every individual has unique healthcare goals. While some patients require reconstructive surgery following trauma, burns, infections, or congenital abnormalities, others may seek cosmetic procedures to improve specific physical features or address concerns that affect their confidence and quality of life.
At Deepam Hospitals, we understand that plastic surgery combines both medical science and surgical precision. Our team focuses on restoring normal appearance and function while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety, ethical practice, and evidence-based care.
Our Plastic Surgery Department collaborates closely with orthopaedic surgeons, general surgeons, dermatologists, oncologists, anaesthesiologists, physiotherapists, wound care specialists, and rehabilitation experts to deliver comprehensive multidisciplinary care.
With multispeciality hospitals in Tambaram, Guduvanchery, and Singaperumal Koil (SP Koil), supported by healthcare centres in Perungalathur, Urapakkam, and Maraimalai Nagar, Deepam Hospitals offers accessible plastic and cosmetic surgery services for patients across the region.
Our department combines surgical expertise, advanced technology, personalised treatment planning, and compassionate patient care to help patients achieve the best possible functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Patients from Singaperumal Koil, Chengalpattu, Maraimalai Nagar, Guduvanchery, Urapakkam, Perungalathur, Tambaram, Mahindra World City, and nearby areas trust Deepam Hospitals for safe, ethical, and personalised plastic and cosmetic surgical care.
Plastic surgery is a specialised branch of surgery focused on restoring, repairing, and reconstructing different parts of the body affected by congenital conditions, trauma, burns, infections, cancer treatment, or other medical conditions. The goal is to improve both function and appearance while helping patients regain confidence and quality of life.
Plastic surgeons perform a wide range of procedures, from reconstructive surgeries that restore damaged tissues to cosmetic surgeries that enhance appearance based on individual preferences. Every treatment is planned after careful medical evaluation to ensure the most appropriate approach for each patient.
Cosmetic surgery is a specialised area of plastic surgery that focuses on enhancing physical appearance through surgical procedures. These procedures are elective and are performed to improve body contours, facial features, or skin appearance while maintaining natural-looking results.
At Deepam Hospitals, cosmetic procedures are recommended only after a detailed consultation, realistic discussion of expected outcomes, and thorough evaluation of the patient's overall health. Our priority is to ensure that every procedure is safe, medically appropriate, and tailored to the individual's goals.
Although the terms are often used interchangeably, plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery serve different purposes.
| Plastic Surgery | Cosmetic Surgery |
|---|---|
| Restores function and appearance after injury, burns, disease, or congenital conditions | Enhances appearance and improves aesthetic features |
| Often medically necessary | Usually elective procedures |
| Focuses on reconstruction and functional improvement | Focuses on cosmetic enhancement |
| May involve trauma, cancer, or burn reconstruction | May involve facial and body contouring procedures |
Both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures require specialised surgical expertise, detailed planning, and individualised patient care.
Our Plastic Surgery Department manages a wide range of reconstructive and cosmetic conditions.
Plastic surgery is not limited to cosmetic enhancement. Patients of different age groups may benefit from reconstructive or aesthetic procedures depending on their medical condition and individual goals.
You may benefit from a consultation if you have:
A detailed consultation helps determine the most appropriate treatment based on your overall health, expectations, and clinical findings.
Some conditions should be assessed by a plastic surgeon to prevent complications and improve long-term outcomes.
Consult a Plastic Surgeon if you experience:
Early evaluation allows timely treatment and may improve both functional recovery and cosmetic outcomes.
At Deepam Hospitals, we utilise modern surgical techniques to achieve precise results while prioritising patient safety and faster recovery. Depending on the condition being treated, minimally invasive approaches, refined reconstructive methods, and advanced wound management techniques may be recommended.
Our multidisciplinary approach ensures coordinated care from diagnosis through surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term follow-up, helping patients achieve the best possible outcomes.
| Condition | Common Concern | Treatment Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Burn Injuries | Scarring, contractures | Burn reconstruction and scar management |
| Lipoma | Soft tissue swelling | Surgical removal when indicated |
| Sebaceous Cyst | Recurrent swelling or infection | Minor surgical excision |
| Scar Deformity | Cosmetic or functional concern | Scar revision surgery |
| Hand Injury | Reduced movement or tissue damage | Reconstructive plastic surgery |
| Skin Lesions | Suspicious or enlarging skin growth | Clinical evaluation and surgical excision when appropriate |
Many reconstructive and cosmetic concerns can be managed more effectively when evaluated early. Prompt consultation allows your surgeon to diagnose the condition accurately, recommend the most suitable treatment, and plan surgery when necessary to achieve better functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Reconstructive plastic surgery focuses on restoring the form, function, and appearance of body tissues affected by trauma, burns, congenital conditions, infections, cancer treatment, or chronic wounds. The goal is not only cosmetic improvement but also helping patients regain normal movement, comfort, and quality of life.
At Deepam Hospitals, our Plastic Surgery Department provides personalised reconstructive surgical care using modern techniques, careful surgical planning, and multidisciplinary collaboration to achieve the best possible functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Our reconstructive procedures are planned according to each patient's medical condition, overall health, and long-term recovery goals.
Burn injuries may heal with significant scarring, skin tightening (contractures), reduced joint movement, and cosmetic concerns. Reconstructive surgery can improve mobility, relieve discomfort, and restore skin function whenever clinically appropriate.
Our specialists evaluate both recent and long-standing burn-related conditions to determine the most suitable treatment approach.
Treatment plans may include scar release procedures, skin grafting, reconstructive surgery, and rehabilitation depending on individual clinical needs.
Scars can develop following surgery, trauma, burns, infections, or accidents. While many scars improve naturally over time, some may become raised, painful, thickened, or restrict normal movement.
Scar revision surgery aims to improve both the appearance and function of problematic scars.
Every scar is unique, and treatment recommendations depend on its size, location, maturity, and effect on surrounding tissues.
Skin grafting is commonly performed when large areas of skin have been lost due to burns, trauma, infections, or surgical removal of diseased tissue. The procedure helps cover exposed areas, promote healing, and restore skin integrity.
Soft tissue reconstruction may be recommended to repair damaged muscles, skin, or other supporting structures following injury or surgery.
Our reconstructive team carefully evaluates each patient to determine the most appropriate reconstructive technique based on the location and extent of tissue loss.
Hand injuries can significantly affect daily activities, work, and overall quality of life. Plastic surgeons play an important role in restoring hand function by repairing damaged skin, tendons, nerves, and soft tissues following trauma.
Early treatment helps improve recovery and maximise functional outcomes.
Road traffic accidents, workplace injuries, sports injuries, and other traumatic events can cause complex soft tissue damage requiring specialised reconstructive surgery.
At Deepam Hospitals, reconstructive procedures focus on restoring tissue coverage, preserving function, reducing long-term disability, and improving cosmetic outcomes whenever possible.
Certain birth defects may affect appearance, movement, or normal body function. Plastic surgery can help improve these conditions through carefully planned reconstructive procedures.
Treatment recommendations are individualised after detailed evaluation and may involve collaboration with other medical specialists when required.
Lipomas are benign (non-cancerous) fatty lumps that develop beneath the skin. Although many lipomas are harmless, surgical removal may be recommended if they become painful, continue to enlarge, interfere with movement, or cause cosmetic concerns.
Our surgeons perform careful clinical assessment before recommending surgical removal.
Sebaceous cysts are common skin swellings that may become infected, painful, or repeatedly recur. Minor surgical excision is often recommended to remove the cyst completely and reduce the chance of recurrence.
Procedures are planned after evaluating the cyst and surrounding tissues.
Our Plastic Surgery Department provides clinical evaluation and surgical removal of selected benign and suspicious skin lesions when medically indicated.
Removed tissue may be sent for laboratory analysis whenever clinically appropriate.
Some individuals develop thick, raised scars known as keloids or hypertrophic scars following injury or surgery. These scars may cause discomfort, itching, pain, or cosmetic concerns.
Treatment options depend on the severity and characteristics of the scar and may include surgical management combined with other supportive therapies where appropriate.
Many soft tissue conditions can be treated through minor surgical procedures performed under appropriate anaesthesia.
Our department performs various minor reconstructive and soft tissue procedures based on individual clinical assessment.
Each procedure is performed following detailed evaluation and patient counselling.
At Deepam Hospitals, every plastic surgery procedure is planned with patient safety as the highest priority. We utilise modern surgical techniques, meticulous tissue handling, and evidence-based protocols to achieve optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes while minimising complications.
Whenever appropriate, our surgeons employ techniques that help reduce tissue trauma, support faster healing, and improve long-term results.
Many reconstructive procedures require collaboration between different medical specialties to ensure comprehensive treatment. Our Plastic Surgery Department works closely with:
This multidisciplinary approach allows patients to receive coordinated care throughout diagnosis, surgery, recovery, and long-term follow-up.
Every reconstructive or cosmetic procedure begins with a detailed consultation, careful clinical assessment, and a personalised treatment plan. We believe that no two patients have identical concerns, which is why treatment decisions are tailored to individual health conditions, functional needs, and aesthetic goals.
Dr. Gunasekaran is a dedicated Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon committed to delivering safe, ethical, and patient-focused surgical care. He specialises in managing a wide range of reconstructive and cosmetic conditions, helping patients restore function, improve appearance, and enhance their overall quality of life.
With expertise in reconstructive plastic surgery, scar management, burn reconstruction, soft tissue procedures, and cosmetic surgical treatments, Dr. Gunasekaran develops personalised treatment plans tailored to each patient's medical condition, functional needs, and aesthetic goals. Every procedure is performed using evidence-based surgical techniques with a strong emphasis on patient safety, natural-looking outcomes, and long-term recovery.
Every patient has unique concerns and treatment goals. At Deepam Hospitals, we follow a structured consultation process to ensure accurate diagnosis, informed decision-making, and personalised care throughout your surgical journey.
Your consultation begins with a discussion about your medical history, symptoms, previous surgeries, medications, lifestyle, and expectations. Your surgeon carefully evaluates your concerns and explains all suitable treatment options.
A comprehensive physical examination helps assess the affected area, determine the severity of the condition, and identify the most appropriate surgical approach.
Depending on your condition, laboratory investigations, imaging studies, or additional specialist evaluations may be recommended before planning surgery.
Every treatment plan is customised based on your medical condition, overall health, functional requirements, and desired outcomes. Your surgeon will explain the benefits, expected recovery, and potential risks before proceeding.
Procedures are performed using modern surgical techniques, advanced anaesthesia support, and strict patient safety protocols. Whenever appropriate, reconstructive techniques are designed to preserve function while achieving the best possible cosmetic result.
After surgery, patients receive detailed wound care instructions, pain management, follow-up appointments, and rehabilitation guidance to support complete recovery and long-term results.
Our team continues to monitor your recovery and provides ongoing support to ensure safe healing and optimal surgical outcomes.
Proper wound care and healthy lifestyle habits can significantly improve recovery after reconstructive or cosmetic surgery.
Plastic surgeons treat much more than cosmetic concerns. Early evaluation allows many conditions to be managed before they become more complex.
Consult a Plastic Surgeon if you experience:
| Condition | Common Symptoms | Treatment Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Burn Scars | Tight skin, restricted movement | Burn reconstruction and scar release |
| Lipoma | Soft painless lump | Surgical removal when clinically indicated |
| Sebaceous Cyst | Swelling, recurrent infection | Complete surgical excision |
| Scar Deformity | Thick, painful or prominent scar | Scar revision surgery |
| Hand Injury | Reduced movement, tissue damage | Reconstructive plastic surgery |
| Skin Lesions | Enlarging or changing skin growth | Clinical evaluation and surgical removal when appropriate |
Plastic surgery includes reconstructive procedures that restore function and appearance after injury, burns, congenital conditions, or disease. Cosmetic surgery focuses on improving physical appearance through elective procedures.
You should consult a Plastic Surgeon if you have burns, traumatic injuries, non-healing wounds, problematic scars, skin lesions, lipomas, recurrent cysts, congenital deformities, or cosmetic concerns requiring specialist evaluation.
Not all scars require surgery. Your surgeon will evaluate the type, size, location, maturity, and symptoms of the scar before recommending the most appropriate treatment.
Many lipomas are harmless and do not require treatment. Surgical removal may be recommended if the lipoma becomes painful, enlarges, affects movement, or causes cosmetic concerns.
Yes. Depending on the severity of the scar, reconstructive procedures, scar revision surgery, skin grafting, and rehabilitation may improve function and appearance.
Recovery depends on the procedure performed, the patient's overall health, and the complexity of the surgery. Your surgeon will provide personalised recovery instructions and follow-up care.
When performed by a qualified plastic surgeon after appropriate medical evaluation, cosmetic surgery procedures are generally safe. Every procedure includes a discussion of potential benefits, risks, and expected outcomes.
All surgical procedures result in some degree of scarring. Plastic surgeons use specialised techniques to place and manage incisions carefully, helping scars heal as discreetly as possible.
Following your surgeon's instructions, maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding smoking, protecting healing wounds, and attending follow-up appointments all contribute to better recovery.
