Dual Discipline: Reconstructive & Cosmetic Precision
Dr. Sarika Gangwar — MBBS, DrNB (Plastic Surgery)
Dr. Sarika Gangwar is an experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeon who serves patients throughout Haldwani and the broader Kumaun region. She completed her undergraduate medical education (MBBS) at VCSG Government Medical College in Srinagar, Uttarakhand, followed by 3 years of super-specialty DrNB residency training in Plastic, Craniofacial, and Microsurgery at Vivekananda Polyclinic & Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow.
Her clinical practice bridges functional reconstructive plastic surgery—such as burn contracture release, cleft repair, and trauma tissue reconstruction—with fine cosmetic procedures including rhinoplasty, facial rejuvenation, breast surgery, and body contouring.
She leads the Department of Plastic Surgery as Chairperson at Chandan Superspeciality Hospital, Haldwani, providing tertiary hospital safety and surgical facilities, while offering outpatient consultations at Healthscapes Clinic.
Comprehensive Surgical Care
Two Core Disciplines of Practice
Plastic surgery encompasses both elective cosmetic enhancement and restorative reconstructive care. Dr. Sarika Gangwar provides dedicated clinical expertise in both.
Cosmetic Surgery
Elective aesthetic procedures planned around individual anatomical harmony, delivering natural proportions rather than artificial changes.
RhinoplastyFace LiftLiposuctionTummy TuckBreast AugmentationGynecomastiaBlepharoplastyHair Transplant
Reconstructive Surgery
Essential functional operations restoring physical mobility, anatomical continuity, and tissue coverage compromised by trauma, burns, or congenital conditions.

First-Class Clinical Focus
Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive plastic surgery focuses on restoring form and function following congenital conditions, injuries, burns, disease, or prior surgical defects.
While cosmetic procedures alter normal anatomy for aesthetic enhancement, reconstructive plastic surgery addresses abnormal structures. A child with cleft palate requires reconstruction to speak and eat; an accident victim requires flap coverage to protect exposed bone; a burn survivor requires contracture release to regain range of motion in their hands or neck.
Dr. Sarika Gangwar performs reconstructive operations in the tertiary hospital suites of Chandan Superspeciality Hospital, Haldwani, utilizing microsurgical principles, meticulous tissue transposition, and structured post-operative rehabilitation.
Hospital-Based Reconstructive Care
- Operating Theaters: Full surgical facilities equipped with HEPA filtration and microsurgical instrumentation.
- Pediatric & Adult Anesthesia: Dedicated board-certified anesthesiologists for cleft and pediatric reconstructions.
- Inpatient Monitoring: Dedicated post-operative ward care and wound dressing protocols.

What is the difference between cosmetic and reconstructive surgery?
Reconstructive plastic surgery aims to restore form, structural integrity, and physical function compromised by congenital conditions (e.g. cleft lip/palate), burns, trauma, or oncologic surgery.

She also conducts evening outpatient aesthetic consultations at Healthscapes Clinic, Pilikothi Chauraha (Monday to Saturday, 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM).
What does a first surgical consultation involve?
A consultation begins with a confidential assessment of your medical history, an anatomical examination, and an honest discussion regarding what surgical or non-surgical options can realistically achieve. You will receive clear explanations of the technique, recovery timeline, and potential risks without obligation.
How do I book an appointment with Dr. Sarika?
You can message the clinic directly on WhatsApp for prompt scheduling, call +91-8679699707 during clinic hours, or fill out the online contact form. Direct appointments can be scheduled without requiring a prior medical referral.
