Choosing a Clinic

  • For hair transplants, ask for the surgeon’s own before/after case gallery (not stock photos), the graft survival rate they quote, and whether the surgeon or a technician performs the extraction.
  • For cosmetic surgery, confirm the surgeon holds a recognised plastic surgery qualification (MCh or DNB in Plastic Surgery) and operates in an accredited hospital or surgical facility, not a standalone cosmetic “studio” without hospital backup.
  • Always get a written, all-inclusive quote covering the surgeon’s fee, facility/OT charges, anaesthesia, garments or dressings, and follow-up visits.

Recovery and Travel Timing

  • Hair transplant: the procedure itself takes 4–8 hours; most patients can fly home after 2–3 days once the transplanted area is cleared by the surgeon.
  • Liposuction/rhinoplasty: plan for 7–10 days in Bangalore for the initial follow-up and swelling to subside enough for travel.
  • Tummy tuck/breast augmentation: these are more involved surgeries; plan for 10–14 days before flying, and avoid long-haul travel until the surgeon confirms it is safe (deep vein thrombosis risk rises after longer procedures).
