Area of specialization: | I am mainly into reconstructive surgery work—like post traumatic defects, skin grafts, burn wound coverages, that kind of thing. Lot of my time goes into flap surgeries and scar revision stuff where it’s not just about closing wounds, it’s about giving the person back a version of themself that they feel ok with. That’s tricky sometimes, I mean burns and deep tissue loss aren’t just skin issues, they change movement, even confidence, right?
I kinda got pulled into this early on—wound reconstruction became something I kept seeing again n again in acute settings. Whether it's crash injuries or thermal burns, I try to balance between restoring movement and how the area looks after. Flap planning and execution’s like puzzle solving, and I actually don’t mind the long surgeries where you just zone in and work layer by layer.
Burns are whole different challenge, tbh. It’s messy, painful, both physically and emotionally. But healing isn’t just medical, it’s aesthetic too. That’s why I care about details like how grafts merge, how scars stretch. Patients notice that. I take it slow where needed, always keeping patient safety in front, especially in complex cases or multi-stage closures.
I plan each case in my head like a map, but ofc things change on table. Sometimes we shift mid-procedure, but I keep my focus on functional restoration with the best visual outcome possible. If that means going the longer route with a flap or secondary revision, fine—I’ll do that. |
Achievements: | I am someone who kinda pushed myself hard during med school n’ yeah, I ended up among toppers in both MBBS and MS General surgery—not that it was easy lol. Later during my superspeciality training in plastic surgery, I’d spent months working on my thesis—felt like I was living in that thing—and to my surprise, the National Board actually sent me a letter of commendation!! That meant a lot. It was one of those times u feel seen for all that behind-the-scenes grind. |
I am a general and plastic surgeon with around 5 years of kinda hectic but honestly rewarding hands-on experience. I work across both emergency and elective surgeries—sometimes back-to-back shifts in trauma care, other times long, detailed procedures in the OR where precision really really matters. My work spans trauma surgeries, abdominal operations, soft-tissue repair, plus reconstructive and aesthetic procedures—like the whole spectrum, really. Most days are a mix—like maybe I’m doing an emergency laparotomy in the morning, then a post-injury facial reconstruction later. I don’t always get to plan things neat, but that’s part of what makes this field kinda intense but also deeply meaningful. Whether it’s helping someone recover basic function after an accident or making subtle aesthetic changes that impact someone's confidence—I treat both with equal care (and yeah, a bit of perfectionism tbh). What I try hard to focus on is combining technique with a sense of visual balance. Plastic surgery isn’t just stitching skin, right. It’s about knowing how the smallest adjustments affect symmetry, movement, even expression. At the same time, general surgery taught me to think on my feet—stabilize, assess, and act fast when someone’s life literally depends on it. People say I’m detail-focused. I guess I am?? I double check a lot, triple sometimes, because mistakes can cost too much. But at the end of the day, I’m not trying to show off—my aim’s just to deliver safe, decent, and honest care. It matters a lot to me that my patients feel heard, whether they’re coming in with acute pain or asking about cosmetic options post trauma or disease. I don’t usually talk big about achievements. I just keep showing up. Day after day. Night after night when needed. Surgery’s not glamorous on most days. But it feels real. I work with skin, tissue, muscle—but what I’m really handling is trust. And yeah, that sticks with me.
