According to global estimates, more than 70 per cent of plastic surgery procedures performed worldwide are reconstructive rather than cosmetic, highlighting the specialty’s vital role in treating injuries, birth defects, cancer-related deformities, and chronic medical conditions. “Every day, plastic surgeons enter the operating room not simply to improve appearance but to rebuild lives,” says Dr. Anmol Chugh, Plastic Surgeon at CK Birla Hospital. “Whether helping a burn survivor regain movement, reconstructing a breast after cancer, repairing a child’s cleft lip, or saving a diabetic patient’s limb, our work focuses on restoring function, confidence, and independence.”
