Please share the following details:

After receiving your details, our surgeon will contact you to guide you regarding the treatment you have enquired about.
You may be asked to send photographs of the areas of concern after masking your identity. This step is solely to guide you, explain the possible treatment plan, and provide an approximate estimate of charges. All pictures shared are kept strictly confidential.
Preferred angles for taking photographs will be shared with you via email.
Continued communication with our team is essential to guide you through pre-surgical instructions. Some pre-surgery guidelines must be followed at least three weeks before surgery, such as discontinuing smoking. Additional pre-operative instructions will also be provided, so we encourage you to stay in touch for proper guidance.
Pre-operative blood investigations are recommended to be completed in your home country to avoid last-minute cancellation of surgery due to abnormal results. This helps prevent unnecessary travel to consult our surgeon.
A pre-operative checklist will be sent to your email, where you can record your medical history for review and consideration.
Please confirm the surgeon’s availability before booking travel tickets to India. For major procedures such as abdominoplasty, a stay of approximately 15 to 20 days in India is recommended.
We advise against planning tourism activities during your visit for surgery, as this may cause fatigue and negatively impact healing.
Our team will assist you with hotel bookings for your post-surgery stay in India. Accommodation near our hospital is ideal. Kindly contact us for recommendations on cost-effective, convenient hotels in the area.
On day one, you will have a consultation with the surgeon. Once the treatment plan is confirmed, pre-operative instructions will be provided.
On day two, the surgery will be performed at Sainath Hospital, located next door.
Typically, an overnight hospital stay is required. You will be discharged the following day and may return to your hotel or serviced apartment.
Post-operative visits will be scheduled every other day to ensure smooth recovery and to monitor for any signs of infection.
Several travel agencies, taxi service apps such as OLA and UBER, and food delivery apps like Uber Eats and SWIGGY are available to help make your stay in India comfortable.
