Dr. Himanshu Gupta — Senior Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Himanshu Gupta is Senior Consultant in Plastic and Onco Reconstructive Surgery at the Cancer Centre of BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in the Delhi NCR, with more than 15 years of experience. His profile records both surgical oncology and cosmetic and plastic surgery, and his work sits where the two meet.

The breast is the main site, and his post covers both halves of the operation. He performs breast cancer surgery, mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery, and then the reconstruction: oncoplastic breast surgery and breast reconstruction surgery. That combination is what his title describes, plastic and onco reconstructive surgery carried out inside a cancer centre rather than referred on to a separate unit. He also operates on head and neck tumours and on skin cancer and melanoma.

He qualified MBBS and took an MS in General Surgery before his M.Ch in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. His further training was taken abroad. He was a Fellow in Cosmetic Surgery at University Hospital Moncloa in Madrid, Spain, and an observer in lymphatic microsurgery at Istituto Clinico Ligure di Alta Specialità in Rapallo, Italy.

His earlier posts were in cancer units. He was Assistant Professor and Senior Resident in plastic and reconstructive surgery at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, and then Consultant in plastic and reconstructive surgery at Action Cancer Hospital, New Delhi, before his present appointment at BLK-Max.
