reconstruction
Reconstruction is one of the most rewarding types of surgical procedures, because it helps patients re-enter life after surviving a disfiguring – and often life-threatening – accident or disease. Reconstructive surgeries not only improve the physical appearance of the patient, but also restore, at least partially, the functionality of limbs that have been injured by accident or disease.
Breast reconstruction following mastectomy, cosmetic surgery to repair unsightly skin cancer disfigurements, microsurgery of the hand – these and other reconstructive procedures help to restore patients’ self-confidence and happiness. For many patients, reconstructive surgery makes the difference between simply surviving and living fully. Dr. Chariker specializes in these highly technical reconstructive surgical techniques for both adults and children.
“If you are considering reconstruction, it is my view that you have been through enough already. You don’t need the added difficulty of a doctor who is less than compassionate about your ordeal. I hope that you will find my entire staff to be fully understanding of your challenge and responsive to your concerns. Remember, I am here for you. I try to model my patient relationships around a mutual relationship of trust and confidence. If you have concerns or anxieties about any part of the process, I want to hear about it!”
