Reconstructive practice

Reconstruction is patient work — and we treat it that way.

For survivors of burns, road traffic accidents, occupational injury, congenital difference and post-cancer defects, our role is to restore movement, contour and confidence — over months or years, in a written, costed plan.

Burns reconstruction in detail
Reconstructive offerings

Five clinical pathways, one continuous philosophy.

We accept patients across the five pathways below. Where a case crosses pathways — many do — the planning is integrated rather than referred between teams.

Burns reconstruction

Burns reconstruction

Multi-stage reconstruction for survivors of thermal, chemical, electrical, and post-surgical burns — from contracture release through aesthetic refinement.

For patients months or years after the original injury who are living with restricted movement, hypertrophic scarring, or visible disfigurement.

  • Detailed photographic and functional assessment
  • Written multi-stage plan with realistic timelines
  • Coordination with physiotherapy and occupational therapy
Scar revision

Scar revision

Surgical, laser, and combined approaches to soften, flatten, and reposition scars from injury, surgery, or acne.

For patients with raised, red, tethered, or widened scars affecting comfort, movement, or confidence.

  • Combination of fractional CO₂ and Nd:YAG lasers
  • Z-plasty and W-plasty surgical revision
  • Steroid and 5-FU intralesional therapy
Post-trauma reconstruction

Post-trauma reconstruction

Reconstruction following road traffic accidents, occupational injury, animal attacks, and post-cancer defects.

For patients referred after acute trauma care, requiring soft-tissue coverage, skeletal scaffolding, or functional restoration.

  • Local, regional, and free-flap reconstruction
  • Functional restoration of hand, face, and limb
  • Multi-disciplinary planning with orthopaedics and ENT
Cleft lip and palate

Cleft lip and palate

Primary repair and secondary correction of cleft lip and palate, including alveolar bone grafting and rhinoplasty.

For infants, children, and adults referred for primary or revision cleft surgery within a multi-disciplinary plan.

  • Primary cleft lip repair from 3 months of age
  • Palate repair from 9 months
  • Alveolar bone graft at 7 — 11 years
Microsurgical reconstruction

Microsurgical reconstruction

Free-flap reconstruction for complex defects of the head, neck, breast, and limbs requiring microvascular anastomosis.

For patients with defects too large for local flaps, requiring vascularised tissue transfer.

  • DIEP-flap breast reconstruction
  • ALT-flap for limb and head/neck defects
  • Free fibula osteocutaneous flaps
A multi-stage approach

From assessment to refinement — months, not minutes.

Reconstructive surgery is rarely one operation. It is a sequence — staged with the body's own healing rhythm, a child's growth, or a patient's life events.

  1. 1

    Month 0 — 1

    Comprehensive assessment & plan

    Photographic mapping of every scar field, range-of-motion testing, scar maturity assessment, and a multi-stage written plan with costs, timing, and expected outcomes for each stage.

    Outcome — Clear, costed roadmap shared with the patient and their referring team.

  2. 2

    Month 1 — 3

    Functional release surgeries

    Priority is restoration of movement: contracture release across joints, tendon mobilisation, web-space reconstruction, and immediate coverage with skin grafts or local flaps.

    Outcome — Range of motion restored across the most disabling joints first.

  3. 3

    Month 3 — 9

    Tissue expansion & flap reconstruction

    Where larger areas of skin must be replaced — face, scalp, neck — we place tissue expanders or plan free-flap reconstruction with microsurgical anastomosis.

    Outcome — Like-for-like skin and contour restoration in cosmetically critical areas.

  4. 4

    Month 9 — 18

    Scar maturation & laser refinement

    Fractional CO₂ and Nd:YAG laser sessions to soften, flatten, and lighten residual scars, combined with intralesional steroid where indicated.

    Outcome — Marked improvement in scar texture, colour, and pliability.

  5. 5

    Month 18 — 36

    Aesthetic refinement

    Hair restoration, eyebrow micropigmentation, lip and eyelid contouring, fat grafting, and final touch-ups to restore the patient's pre-injury identity as closely as possible.

    Outcome — A reconstructed, dignified appearance — and a return to social life.

Compassion as a clinical discipline

The atmosphere of a reconstructive consultation is not the atmosphere of a cosmetic one.

Patients arrive with a long history. We listen first, examine carefully, and present a written plan that respects the time the body needs.

  • Function before appearance

    Movement and use restored before any aesthetic refinement is considered.

  • Honest planning

    Costed, written, and signed by the surgeon — never per-visit.

  • Family involved

    Pediatric and adult cases include a family-education programme.

  • Long arc of follow-up

    We remain accessible for years, not weeks.

Patient voices

Reconstructive patients, in their own words.

Eight years after a kitchen accident I had lost the use of my right shoulder. Dr. Mahram released the contracture in two stages, coordinated everything from Riyadh, and I am back to lifting my children.

Ahmed B. · Riyadh, Saudi Arabia · Burns reconstruction — axillary contracture

I came to Cairo expecting a hard sell. Instead I was treated with respect, given a written plan, and told what was realistic. The combined laser and surgical scar revision changed how I feel walking into a room.

Layla H. · Khartoum, Sudan · Scar revision (facial)

My daughter had a hand contracture from a household burn. Dr. Mahram planned three stages over two years. After the second stage she can now hold a pen and dress herself. We are very grateful.

Yasmine F. · Tripoli, Libya · Pediatric burns reconstruction

For patients and referring teams

Send us photographs and a short history. A coordinator will reply within twelve working hours.

For Saudi, Sudanese, Libyan and Gulf patients we can begin the consultation by video and continue in Cairo.
