About Free Flap Surgery
Free flap surgery is an advanced reconstructive procedure where healthy tissue—consisting of skin, muscle, bone, or fat—along with its blood vessels is transferred from one part of the body (donor site) to another area that needs reconstruction. Microsurgical techniques are used to reconnect the tiny blood vessels, ensuring the tissue survives and functions normally in its new location.
At Dr. Prem Anand’s Clinic in Bangalore, we specialize in free flap microsurgery for complex reconstructions after trauma, cancer removal, burns, or congenital defects, restoring both function and aesthetics with precision.

How Free Flap Surgery Works in Bangalore
Microsurgical Precision for Reconstruction
The procedure begins by harvesting tissue (skin, muscle, bone, or fat) from a donor site such as the thigh, forearm, or abdomen. Using a microscope, the surgeon carefully reconnects the tiny arteries and veins to the recipient site to ensure proper blood supply. Once the flap survives, it becomes a permanent part of the reconstructed area, providing both coverage and function.
At Dr. Prem Anand’s Clinic, we use state-of-the-art microsurgical techniques to ensure high success rates and natural outcomes.
