About Dr. Soumya Khanna
With over twelve years in the surgical field, Dr. Soumya Khanna focuses entirely on giving patients their confidence and physical comfort back. She took her training to the absolute highest level. She used her traveling scholarship to train at world-renowned US cancer hubs. Brought all those advanced microsurgical techniques straight back to India.
She actively uses incredibly precise microsurgery to manage the severe, chronic arm or leg swelling that frequently hits patients after lymph nodes are removed during cancer treatment.
Beyond her heavy focus on the breast and lymphatic system, she handles comprehensive plastic surgery. Her surgical precision and focus on clinical innovation actually earned her the Max Sushruta Award and the Max Gem Award.

Patient Experience & Approach
Breast cancer survivors say Dr. Soumya Khanna completely changes their outlook on a mastectomy. She explains exactly what oncoplastic reconstruction will realistically look and feel like post-surgery. Women with lymphedema mention she finally addressed a problem many others had brushed off as something they just had to live with. Her US training shows in how carefully the breast and lymphatic sides get planned together rather than treated as separate problems.
