Soft tissue injuries involve damage to the skin, muscles, ligaments, tendons, fat, or fascia due to trauma, accidents, surgery, or infection. These injuries range from minor lacerations and crush wounds to deep degloving and complex tissue loss, which can result in pain, infection, loss of function, or disfigurement if not treated properly.
Dr. Ravi Saroha is a senior plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Delhi, specializing in functional and aesthetic restoration of soft tissue injuries. With over 13 years of experience and expertise in microsurgery and trauma reconstruction, he provides tailored treatment plans to restore both appearance and mobility, especially in the limbs, face, and hands.
Dr. Saroha’s approach is guided by the extent, location, and severity of the injury:
Soft tissue injuries involve damage to muscles, ligaments, tendons, fat, or skin—commonly caused by trauma, deep cuts, crush injuries, or surgery-related complications.
Treatment may involve wound cleaning, debridement, stitches, skin grafting, or flap surgery depending on the size, depth, and location of the injury.
While some scarring is expected, Dr. Ravi Saroha uses techniques aimed at minimizing scarring and may recommend scar revision or cosmetic improvement later if needed.
Recovery depends on the extent of the injury and type of repair. Minor injuries may heal in 2–3 weeks, while complex reconstructions may require 6–12 weeks or more, plus physiotherapy.
Yes. If the injury is deep, it can damage nerves or tendons. Dr. Saroha is trained to repair these structures during the same surgical procedure to restore function.
