Reconstructive and hand surgery covers a different territory than cosmetic work, even though many practices offer both. This category includes repair after trauma or cancer removal (breast reconstruction, skin flaps and grafts), correction of congenital conditions (cleft lip and palate, syndactyly, other hand and limb differences present at birth), and hand-specific procedures like carpal tunnel release, trigger finger surgery, Dupuytren's contracture treatment, tendon repair, and nerve decompression. Some surgeons in this list are general plastic surgeons who handle a broad range of reconstructive cases, while others specialize specifically in hand and upper extremity surgery, often with additional fellowship training. We track 14 providers offering some form of this work across Mississauga.
What to check before you book
Confirm the surgeon's specific training for your case: a hand fellowship matters if you need nerve or tendon repair, while a background in oncoplastic or microsurgical reconstruction matters for cancer-related work. Ask which hospital they're affiliated with for surgical privileges, since reconstructive cases often need OR access rather than an in-office suite. Get clarity on OHIP coverage versus out-of-pocket costs early, and ask how many similar cases they handle in a typical month.
