About Dr. Pradeep Y V

Dr. Pradeep Y V is an Associate Professor and Consultant Plastic Surgeon with over 13 years of clinical expertise in plastic, reconstructive, and cosmetic surgery. He holds an MCh in Plastic Surgery from Raja Rajeswari Medical College and an MS in General Surgery from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, complemented by a specialist fellowship in plastic surgery. His academic designation reflects his dual commitment to patient care and surgical education in this specialized field.

Dr. Pradeep's clinical practice spans a comprehensive range of reconstructive procedures, including microsurgical techniques such as free flap and local flap reconstruction, breast reconstruction after cancer, and complex hand and peripheral nerve repair. He is experienced in managing acute and chronic wound conditions, contracture release for burn survivors, and cleft lip and palate repair—procedures that demand both technical precision and deep anatomical knowledge. His approach combines evidence-based microsurgical principles with individualized surgical planning to optimize both functional and aesthetic outcomes.

He actively treats international patients from the Gulf region, Africa, and across South Asia who seek specialized reconstructive care. International patients appreciate his thorough consultation process, clear communication about surgical goals and realistic timelines, and his hospital's facilities for post-operative care and follow-up. Dr. Pradeep's patient-centered philosophy ensures that each individual receives personalized attention throughout their surgical journey.
