Cosmetic Surgery treatment in India

Board-certified plastic surgeons at accredited hospitals, judged on credentials rather than galleries.

What we arrange

Quotes in 24 hours

Send your reports and we come back with itemised estimates from two or three accredited hospitals.

Meet the surgeon first

A video call with the person who would actually operate, before you commit to flying anywhere.

You pay the hospital

Directly, into their own account. We never handle your treatment money.

Why we show no before-and-after photographs

You will notice there are none anywhere on this site. India's medical regulations restrict the use of patient before-and-after images by practitioners, including with the patient's written consent, and we hold ourselves to the same standard.

We know it is the thing you most want to see. What we offer instead is a video consultation with the surgeon, who can discuss their own results with you in a clinical setting and answer what no photograph can: whether your anatomy and your skin will give you that outcome.

Treat galleries with caution generally. They show selected results, they are frequently not the surgeon's own work, and they say nothing at all about complication rates.

How to check a plastic surgeon properly

Look for M.Ch or DNB in plastic surgery specifically, not a cosmetologist or a dermatologist performing surgical procedures. Check the registration on the National Medical Commission register. Look for membership of the Association of Plastic Surgeons of India, or an international body such as ISAPS.

Then ask how many of your specific procedure they do in a year, and whether they operate in an accredited hospital with proper anaesthetic support rather than a day clinic. If they will not consult with you on video before you travel, do not go.

Recovery, honestly

Rhinoplasty: splint off at seven days, fit to fly at ten to fourteen, swelling settling over months and the final result at about a year. Abdominoplasty: two to three weeks before flying, six before normal activity. Liposuction: seven to ten days, with compression garments for weeks afterwards. Face lift: two to three weeks before you will want to be seen.

Do not book a return flight for four days after surgery. It is the most common planning error in cosmetic travel, and swelling, drains and flight risk do not negotiate.

Ask about revision before you commit

Some results need refining, and any honest surgeon will tell you so. Ask what their revision policy is, what it costs, and who pays for the flight. Get the answer in writing before you book anything.

Why there are no galleries here

We publish no patient photographs

India's medical regulations restrict the use of patient before-and-after images by practitioners, including with written consent, and we hold ourselves to the same standard.

What we offer instead is a video consultation with the surgeon, who can discuss their own results with you and answer what no photograph can: whether your anatomy will give you that outcome.

Straight answers

Cosmetic Surgery questions

What if I am not happy with the result?

Wait a year before judging, because results continue to settle for that long. Then discuss revision with your surgeon. Ask about their revision policy in writing before you travel, including who pays for what.

Can I combine procedures in one trip?

Often, and it saves money and time. But combining lengthens anaesthesia and increases risk, so the surgeon decides what is safe rather than you or us.

Is cosmetic surgery in India safe?

At an accredited hospital with a properly qualified plastic surgeon, yes. The risk in cosmetic travel is rarely the country. It is unqualified operators in unaccredited facilities, and that exists everywhere.

How do I verify the surgeon's qualifications?

Ask for their NMC registration number and check it yourself. We verify it before a surgeon goes on our list, and we will give you the number so you can confirm independently.

No cost, no obligation

Tell us what's happening

A hospital cannot price your treatment without seeing your case. Send what you have, even a photograph of a piece of paper, and we will tell you what else is needed.

  • Your reports go only to hospitals you approve first, by name.
  • Stored encrypted, and deleted whenever you ask.
  • You pay the hospital directly. Never us.

Send your reports

A hospital cannot price your treatment without seeing your reports. Send them and we come back with itemised estimates from two or three hospitals — usually within 24 hours, or 48 for transplant and complex oncology.

This is how we will reach you. Include the country code.
Photographs of paper reports are fine. Scans on CD are best sent as the original image files. Stored encrypted, shared only with hospitals you approve.

We reply within about 15 minutes on WhatsApp during our covered hours. Read what we do with your data — we never sell it, and you can have it deleted at any time.
