Patient information

To help ensure optimal surgical results following advice is offered.

• Do your homework: 
  Clear all your doubts with your doctor only and do not rely on uninformed opinion

• Have realistic expectations: 
  Ask your aesthetic surgeon questions about how the surgery will work for you: communicate your expectations and wishes so that your surgeon can strive to deliver desired results, and understand side effects of the procedures and about the follow-up visits and recovery time. Remember your surgeon is a scientist not a magician and your expectations should be in the realm of the possible.

• Require a medical evaluation: 
  Provide your doctor with your full medical history of hospitalisations, medical ailments, current medications and any form of known drug allergies.

• Stop Smoking: 
  Smoking should be stopped at least 2 weeks prior to surgery as it delays healing and encourages bleeding tendencies.

• Risks and Complications: 
  Aesthetic (Cosmetic) Surgery faces few risks of dangerous complications. Our experienced approach has helped reduce such eventualities further.

• Recovering from your surgery: 
  Patients are usually allowed to go home the same evening, and in major cases on the morning following surgery. The rest of the post operative care is by office visit.

Recommendations:

• Make sure you maintain a healthy diet, engage in regular fitness activities, do not smoke and practice good sun protection.

• Your scars will continue to refine over a period of weeks following surgery and will mature to fine lines by the first year.

• Post surgery follow-up is spread over the following year in one or two visits. However you may call your aesthetic surgeon at any time with your concerns.

All the charges are laid down by the hospital on an affordability basis. Quality care involves reasonable expenditure for people.

Aesthetic (Cosmetic) Surgical procedures are safe and pain free and as they do not involve body parts concerned with mobility, patients are usually up and about soon after the operation.
