About the Institute

Advanced Plastic, Reconstructive Aesthetic Care. Built Around Expertise, Precision and Outcomes.

At SIMS Hospitals, ICAPS (Institute of Craniofacial, Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery) is one of India’s most trusted and comprehensive destinations for advanced plastic, reconstructive, aesthetic, and microsurgical care. Bringing together some of the nation’s most highly specialised surgeons and experienced multidisciplinary experts, we deliver seamless comprehensive care across the full spectrum of plastic and reconstructive surgery — from complex cancer reconstruction and burn management to functional restoration, hand surgery, cleft care, and aesthetic enhancement.

At ICAPS, every treatment journey is built around a patient-centred collaborative model, combining advanced surgical expertise, multidisciplinary care, and innovation to restore form, rebuild function, and help patients move forward with renewed confidence.
