Hand Plastic Surgery in Mumbai - Finger & Microsurgery at Navaa Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery
The hand is one of the most intricately engineered parts of the human body – a dense network of bones, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels working together in a remarkably small space to allow the fine motor control we rely on for almost everything we do. When this delicate system is damaged by injury, disease, or a congenital condition, restoring it requires a level of surgical precision that few other areas of the body demand.
At Navaa Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, hand and finger surgery is performed by MCh-qualified plastic surgeons trained in microsurgical technique – the specialised skill required to repair nerves, tendons, and blood vessels often less than a millimetre in diameter. Whether the need is urgent trauma repair, correction of a congenital hand condition, or restoring function lost to injury or disease, every procedure is planned around a single goal: recovering as much of your hand’s natural strength, movement, and appearance as possible.

What is Hand Surgery?
Hand surgery is a highly specialised field of plastic and reconstructive surgery focused on restoring the function, movement, strength, and appearance of the hand and forearm. A hand surgeon – also called a hand and limb reconstructive surgeon, hand plastic surgeon, or microsurgeon – has undergone advanced training in hand microsurgery, nerve repair, and tendon reconstruction, skills that are essential for the range of conditions that affect this uniquely complex part of the body.
What a Hand Surgeon Treats
A hand specialist treats a wide range of conditions affecting both hand function and appearance, including:
– Tendon injuries affecting the ability to bend or straighten fingers
– Nerve damage causing numbness, weakness, or loss of sensation
– Congenital hand deformities present from birth
– Hand tumours and cysts, both benign and malignant
– Burn contractures restricting hand movement
– Traumatic injuries including cuts, crush injuries, and fractures
– Amputated fingers or thumbs requiring replantation
The Six Categories of Hand Surgery
– Trauma and injury reconstruction – repairing cuts, crush injuries, fractures, and complex lacerations
– Nerve and tendon reconstruction – restoring movement, strength, and sensation after injury
– Hand tumour and cyst surgery – removal of growths while preserving function and appearance
– Congenital hand deformity correction – addressing birth-related hand conditions
– Hand burn surgery – restoring function and appearance after thermal or chemical injury
– Hand cosmetic and functional surgery – refining appearance and function affected by trauma, congenital issues, or ageing
What Can Rhinoplasty Surgery Fix?
Hand surgery covers a genuinely wide range of conditions, and no single approach fits every case. At Navaa, the appropriate procedure is determined by a thorough assessment of your specific injury or condition.
Trauma and Injury Reconstruction
Deep cuts, crush injuries, and complex trauma to the hand often involve damage to bones, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels simultaneously, requiring coordinated repair to restore both function and appearance. Procedures include finger and thumb replantation (reattachment of amputated digits), fracture repair, microsurgical vessel repair, degloving injury reconstruction, fingertip and nail bed reconstruction, and flap coverage for tissue loss. Where significant skin loss is involved, Skin Grafting in Mumbai techniques are commonly used alongside these reconstructive procedures.
Nerve and Tendon Repair
Nerve and tendon reconstruction restores movement, strength, and sensation after hand injury, requiring genuine microsurgical skill. Procedures include flexor and extensor tendon repair (categorised by anatomical zone), tendon grafting and transfer, digital and major nerve repair (median, ulnar, radial), nerve grafting, nerve transfers, and neurolysis to release nerve compression or adhesions following injury.
Hand Tumour and Cyst Removal
Hand tumour and cyst surgery removes benign and malignant growths while carefully preserving hand function and aesthetics. Common procedures include ganglion cyst removal, lipoma removal, epidermoid cyst excision, and removal of vascular malformations, with reconstruction using flap or graft techniques where the defect requires it.
Congenital Hand Deformity Correction
Congenital hand deformity correction addresses birth-related hand abnormalities to restore function and improve appearance, often requiring delicate microsurgical reconstruction of small structures such as fingers and thumbs. Procedures include syndactyly (webbed fingers) release, polydactyly (extra finger) correction, cleft hand repair, radial club hand correction, and thumb reconstruction. For related congenital reconstructive care, see Cleft Lip and Palate Repair in Mumbai, another area of staged congenital reconstruction at Navaa.
Hand Burn Surgery
Burn injuries to the hand can cause contractures, skin loss, and significantly restricted mobility, requiring specialised reconstructive surgery. Procedures include contracture release, web space reconstruction, split-thickness and full-thickness skin grafting, flap surgery for burn coverage, and functional restoration of fingers and thumb affected by scarring.
Hand Cosmetic and Functional Surgery
Hand cosmetic and functional surgery addresses appearance and function affected by congenital issues, trauma, or ageing. This includes scar revision, skin resurfacing, fat grafting for hand fullness, and microvascular refinements that improve both the look and the function of the hand.
Who Needs Hand Surgery?
Signs You Should See a Hand Surgeon
You should consider consulting a hand surgeon if you experience:
– A deep cut, crush injury, or trauma to the hand, wrist, or fingers
– Loss of hand function – difficulty gripping, lifting, or moving fingers normally after an injury
– Numbness, weakness, or loss of sensation suggesting nerve injury
– Difficulty bending or straightening fingers, which may indicate tendon damage
– A lump, growth, or cyst on the hand
– A hand condition present since birth affecting function or appearance
Emergency Presentations
Deep lacerations, crush injuries, amputated fingers, and significant burns require prompt evaluation, as early surgical repair of damaged nerves, tendons, and vessels prevents permanent disability and gives the best chance of a successful outcome. Time-sensitive presentations, particularly amputated digits requiring replantation, should be assessed as urgently as possible.
Planned Corrective Cases
Congenital hand conditions, tumours and cysts, and hand cosmetic concerns are typically planned procedures rather than emergencies, allowing time for thorough assessment and surgical planning. This is particularly relevant for congenital cases in children, where timing may be planned around growth and development.
How Hand Surgery Works at Navaa - Step by Step
Assessment and Imaging
Your evaluation includes a thorough examination of the hand, including nerve function, tendon integrity, blood supply, and bone structure. Imaging such as X-rays may be used where appropriate to guide treatment planning.
Anaesthesia
The type of anaesthesia depends on the procedure and may include local, regional, or general anaesthesia. Your surgical and anaesthesia team will recommend the most appropriate option for your treatment.
The Procedure
Using microsurgical techniques when required, your surgeon repairs or reconstructs affected structures such as bones, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels. The technique and procedure time vary depending on the complexity of the surgery.
Recovery and Physiotherapy
After surgery, the hand is protected with appropriate dressing or splinting. Physiotherapy may begin as healing allows to restore strength, flexibility, and movement. Recovery time varies depending on the procedure and individual healing.
Hand Surgery Cost in Mumbai
The cost of hand surgery at Navaa depends heavily on the specific procedure and its complexity. A detailed, transparent cost estimate is provided at consultation after a thorough assessment of your specific condition.
Factors That Affect the Cost
– Procedure type: minor procedures such as cyst removal cost significantly less than complex microsurgical reconstruction such as finger replantation or tendon transfer
– Complexity: the number of structures involved (bone, tendon, nerve, vessel) and the extent of the injury affect operative time and cost
– Anaesthesia and hospital stay: procedures requiring general anaesthesia and an overnight stay cost more than same-day local anaesthesia procedures
– Reconstruction technique: flap coverage or free tissue transfer for significant defects is more complex, and costs more, than direct repair or skin grafting
– Physiotherapy: ongoing hand therapy, required in most cases, is typically arranged and costed separately from the surgical fee
Insurance and Payment Options at Navaa
Hand surgery for trauma, burns, or congenital conditions is generally considered medically necessary and is typically eligible for health insurance coverage in India, as it addresses genuine functional impairment rather than a purely cosmetic concern. Navaa provides the necessary medical documentation to support your insurance claim, and flexible EMI options are available through our financial partners for costs not covered by insurance.
Recovery and Results
– Recovery time ranges from two to six weeks for minor procedures to three to six months for complex reconstruction
– Dressing changes typically occur every three to five days, with sutures removed at ten to fourteen days
– Physiotherapy is required in the majority of hand surgery cases to regain strength, flexibility, and coordinated movement
– Most patients need someone to drive them home after surgery, as anaesthesia and pain medication affect reaction time
– Return to work timing depends on the procedure and your job – light desk work may resume within days for minor procedures, while complex tendon or bone repair may require several weeks off
– Titanium or stainless steel implants, where used for bone fixation, are biocompatible and safe for long-term use, sometimes remaining permanently and sometimes removed after healing
– Full sensory and functional recovery after nerve repair can continue improving for many months as nerves regenerate gradually
Our Approach to Restoring Function and Confidence
At Navaa, we approach hand surgery with the understanding that the hand is central to daily independence and confidence – restoring its function is never a minor undertaking, regardless of how the procedure is classified. This is why we bring genuine microsurgical precision to every repair, and why physiotherapy is built into every recovery plan from the outset rather than treated as optional. Whether the case is an urgent trauma repair or a planned correction, our goal is always the fullest possible restoration of your hand’s strength, movement, and natural appearance.
