The Plastic Surgery Unit of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in collaboration with a team of plastic surgeons from Germany is providing special reconstructive surgeries for patients with some abnormalities on their hands and burns on various parts of the body.
Women with extraordinary large breasts who want to reduce their size, or those with very small ones who want to enlarge them would benefit from the surgeries.
Such women would be provided with the desired size and shape to enhance their status.
The team from Germany is already in the country, and will start screening patients suffering from such abnormalities tomorrow (Thursday and Friday) at consulting room nine B of the KATH between 8a.m. and 2p.m. each day.
Dr Joseph Apaloo, a specialist with the Plastic Surgery Unit of the KATH, who briefed the Daily Graphic on the special plastic surgery, explained that people with six or crooked fingers would also benefit from the exercise.
He pointed out that others who had suffered severe burns and had therefore developed scars arising from such burns “will be taken care of during the surgery”.
Explaining further, he said patients who belonged to the National Health Insurance Scheme would be treated free of charge but non-members would pay a token fee.
