About Microsurgery
Microsurgery involves operating on tiny structures like blood vessels and nerves using specialized microscopes and instruments. This advanced technique enables complex reconstructive procedures including free tissue transfer, replantation, and nerve repair.
Microsurgery is a specialized surgical technique that uses operating microscopes and micro-instruments to operate on tiny structures such as blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic channels. At Aestique Clinic, our surgeons use microsurgical techniques for free tissue transfer, nerve repair, replantation, and lymphatic surgery.
This advanced capability enables us to perform complex reconstructions that would otherwise be impossible, including transferring tissue from distant body sites, reattaching severed digits, and repairing damaged nerves for functional recovery.

Before & After Results
Key Benefits
Complex Reconstruction Possible
Enables tissue transfer and repair that other techniques cannot achieve.
Nerve Repair
Precise repair of damaged nerves for restoration of sensation and movement.
Digit Replantation
Potential to reattach severed fingers and thumbs.
Free Flap Transfer
Move healthy tissue to reconstruct defects anywhere in the body.
Lymphatic Surgery
Treat lymphedema through microsurgical lymphatic-venous anastomosis.
High Precision
Operating microscope provides magnification for work on structures as small as 1mm.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Microsurgery may be recommended for patients who:
- Have complex wounds requiring free tissue transfer for coverage
- Need nerve repair after traumatic injury
- Have amputated digits that may be candidates for replantation
- Suffer from lymphedema requiring surgical treatment
- Need breast reconstruction using DIEP or other free flap techniques
- Have complex defects that cannot be addressed with simpler techniques
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery varies by the microsurgical procedure:
- Free Flap: Hospital stay 5-7 days. Strict monitoring of blood flow. Activity restrictions for 2-4 weeks.
- Nerve Repair: Splinting for 2-3 weeks. Nerve regeneration at ~1mm/day. Full recovery 6-18 months.
- Digit Replantation: Hospital stay 3-5 days. Strict hand therapy protocol. Recovery over 3-6 months.
- All Cases: Follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring healing and function.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the success rate of microsurgery?
Free flap success rates exceed 95% in experienced centers. Nerve repair outcomes depend on the type and location of injury but are significantly better with microsurgical repair than without.
Can severed fingers be reattached?
In many cases, yes. Success depends on the level and type of injury, time since amputation (ideally within 6-12 hours), and the condition of the severed part. If you have an amputation, preserve the part on ice and seek emergency care immediately.
How long does microsurgery take?
Procedures range from 2-4 hours for nerve repair to 6-10 hours for complex free flap reconstruction.
