Hello,

Your right point finger looks ugly from an injury. You would like to get surgery done so that it looks better. Yes, reconstruction surgery can be done for the fingers. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a Surgeon. Get all required tests and investigations, imaging tests done.

Surgeons can do hand re-construction surgery but you can also contact plastic surgeons, get examined. They'll recommend you the precise surgery that you exactly need. In the meantime, get routine blood tests done. Try to maintain your vitals to normal so that you may be fit for surgery. Stay away from addictions if any. After surgery you will be explained details on how to take care of the wound and how to protect it from getting infected. Recovery may take time so you should be patient.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
