Dr. Muddappa P. P. is a Consultant in Plastic Surgery at Manipal Hospitals, Kanakapura Road, Bengaluru. With over 14 years of professional experience, he specialises in plastic and reconstructive surgery, with clinical expertise spanning trauma reconstruction, microsurgery, hand surgery, nerve repair, diabetic foot surgery and craniofacial reconstruction. His practice includes surgical care intended to restore function, address tissue defects and improve appearance following injuries or selected medical conditions.
Dr. Muddappa completed his MBBS at A. J. Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalore, in 2011. He subsequently obtained an MS in General Surgery from Yenepoya Medical College, Mangalore, in 2014, followed by a DNB in Plastic Surgery. His postgraduate surgical training provides a foundation for the assessment and management of complex reconstructive conditions requiring specialised surgical planning.
His clinical areas of expertise include hand and upper limb injuries, tendon injuries, brachial plexus injuries, peripheral nerve conditions, traumatic tissue loss and diabetic foot problems requiring reconstructive assessment. He also has experience in microsurgical reconstruction, including free flap procedures, which may be used to restore tissue coverage in selected complex wounds and reconstructive cases. His other areas of expertise include cleft and craniofacial surgery, cosmetic surgery and facial aesthetics.
Microsurgery and reconstructive procedures can play an important role in selected cases involving severe injuries, complex tissue defects and reconstruction following cancer surgery. Depending on the diagnosis, a treatment plan may involve tendon transfer, nerve reconstruction, tissue coverage or other surgical techniques. The appropriate approach depends on the extent of the condition, the patient's general health and the expected functional requirements.
Dr. Muddappa has contributed to academic plastic surgery through conference presentations and published research. His work on the use of the extensor pollicis brevis tendon for thumb extension transfer was presented at APSICON 2016 and published in the Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery in 2019. He also presented research concerning free flap re-exploration in trauma at TANPAPS 2018. These academic activities reflect his involvement in surgical research and professional knowledge-sharing.
Patients seeking a plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Bangalore may consult Dr. Muddappa P.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery addresses structural defects, tissue loss, injuries and selected congenital conditions. Treatment may aim to restore function, improve tissue coverage or correct deformities. Patients with complex wounds, post-traumatic defects or reconstructive needs can undergo specialist assessment to determine the most appropriate surgical approach.
Hand surgery involves the assessment and treatment of selected injuries and conditions affecting the fingers, hand, wrist and upper limb. These may include tendon injuries, soft-tissue defects, fractures requiring surgical management and functional problems following trauma. Treatment is planned according to the injury, functional needs and clinical findings.
Microsurgery uses specialised techniques to repair or reconnect small blood vessels, nerves and other delicate structures. Free flap reconstruction transfers tissue from one part of the body to another when complex wounds require coverage. It may be considered for selected traumatic defects or reconstruction following cancer surgery.
Brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injuries can affect sensation, muscle strength and movement. Specialist assessment helps establish the location and extent of nerve damage. Depending on the findings, treatment may include observation, rehabilitation or surgery such as nerve repair, grafting or transfer in appropriately selected cases.
Diabetic foot conditions may involve persistent ulcers, infection, damaged tissue and delayed wound healing. Management requires assessment of the wound, circulation, infection and underlying diabetes. Reconstructive procedures or tissue coverage may be considered for selected patients as part of a coordinated treatment plan aimed at healing and preserving function.
Severe injuries can cause skin loss, exposed structures and complex wounds that need specialist reconstructive care. Treatment depends on the injury pattern, tissue viability and associated damage. Options may include wound preparation, skin grafting, flap reconstruction or other procedures designed to provide coverage and support functional recovery.
Cleft lip and cleft palate are congenital conditions that may affect feeding, speech, facial structure and development. Surgical care is planned according to the child's age, anatomy and functional needs. Management can involve a multidisciplinary team and may include staged procedures and long-term follow-up when clinically indicated.
Craniofacial reconstruction addresses selected structural abnormalities and defects involving the face and skull. These may arise from congenital conditions, trauma or previous surgery. Assessment considers anatomy, function and the patient's individual needs. Treatment planning may require collaboration with other surgical and medical specialists.
Cosmetic surgery and facial aesthetic procedures aim to address selected concerns involving appearance and body contour. A consultation includes discussion of the patient's goals, medical suitability, potential risks and realistic outcomes. The appropriate procedure, if any, depends on individual anatomy, health status and a specialist assessment.
Scar revision may be considered when a scar causes functional restriction, discomfort or a cosmetic concern. The treatment approach depends on the scar's location, size, cause and maturity. Options can include surgical revision or other scar-management methods, with outcomes varying according to individual healing and tissue characteristics.
Tendon transfer surgery redirects a functioning tendon to help restore a movement affected by nerve injury, muscle weakness or selected tendon disorders. Careful assessment of muscle strength, joint mobility and functional goals is essential. Rehabilitation after surgery plays an important role in helping patients adapt to the transferred tendon.
Reconstructive surgery may help restore tissue coverage, form or function after selected cancer operations. Depending on the defect and the patient's condition, reconstruction can involve tissue grafts, local flaps or microsurgical free flaps. Planning is coordinated with the treating cancer team to support appropriate treatment sequencing and recovery.
