How much can I save by getting plastic surgery in India vs USA, UK, or UAE?

Cost savings are typically 60-75% compared to USA/UK and 40-60% compared to UAE. Example: Rhinoplasty in USA $8,000-$15,000 vs India ₹70,000-₹1,80,000 ($850-$2,200). Liposuction in UK £4,000-£8,000 vs India ₹60,000-₹2,00,000 ($720-$2,400). Even with travel, accommodation, and post-op care included, total cost is significantly lower.

Is plastic surgery in India safe and up to international standards?

Yes. Dr. Ram Prabhu holds DNB (Super Speciality) Plastic Surgery from the National Board of Examinations — recognised internationally as equivalent to MCh in India and post-graduate plastic surgery boards abroad. The clinic uses FDA-approved silicone implants, modern VASER/laser equipment, and follows international safety protocols. Hospitals affiliated for major procedures are NABH-accredited.

How long do I need to stay in Hyderabad for surgery and recovery?

Minimum stay varies by procedure: Earlobe repair (2-3 days). Lipoma/Sebaceous cyst (3-5 days). Gynecomastia (5-7 days). Liposuction (7-10 days). Rhinoplasty (10-14 days). Tummy tuck (14-21 days). Facelift (14-21 days). Mommy makeover (21+ days). We schedule consultation Day 1, surgery Day 2-3, follow-ups before departure, and remote follow-up after return.

Can I have a remote video consultation before traveling?

Yes — we offer pre-travel video consultations via WhatsApp, Google Meet, or Zoom. Send 4-5 clinical photographs in advance, and Dr. Ram Prabhu will provide a preliminary assessment, suggested approach, total cost estimate, and recommended length of stay. Final assessment requires in-person examination.

What documents do I need as an NRI patient?

Indian-origin NRIs: PIO/OCI card, passport, recent medical reports (if any). Foreign nationals: passport with valid medical visa (M visa), letter from home doctor (recommended). For OCI cardholders, no medical visa is needed for short-term medical treatment.

Where should I stay during my visit?

Our clinic is in Kondapur — adjacent to Hitech City and Gachibowli, the IT hub of Hyderabad. We recommend serviced apartments or hotels within 3-5 km: ITC Kohenur, Trident Hyderabad, The Park Hyatt, Marriott Hyderabad, or budget options like Lemon Tree, Ginger, and dozens of furnished service apartments. We provide a curated accommodation list based on your budget and length of stay.

Can family members travel with me and stay during recovery?

Absolutely encouraged. A companion is highly recommended for the first 5-7 days post-surgery. Hyderabad is a major tourist hub with attractions like Charminar, Golconda Fort, Ramoji Film City, and excellent shopping and cuisine — your family can enjoy the city while you recover.

How do I pay if I am paying from abroad?

We accept international wire transfers, all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), UPI, and cash payment in Indian Rupees. A 30-50% deposit secures your surgery date; balance is due before procedure. We provide official invoices for insurance reimbursement requests in your home country.

What if I need a medical complication after returning home?

We provide 90 days of remote post-operative support via WhatsApp video. For any concern, message us anytime — Dr. Ram Prabhu personally reviews. If a complication requires in-person care, we coordinate with a local plastic surgeon in your home city. Most complications, when caught early via remote review, can be managed conservatively.

Is medical tourism to India tax-deductible in my home country?

In some countries (USA, Canada, parts of EU), qualifying medical expenses including travel can be tax-deductible if they exceed a threshold. We provide all documentation needed (procedure details, official invoices, medical necessity letter where applicable). Consult your home tax advisor for specifics.

Can you arrange airport pickup, accommodation, and translator?

Yes — we provide a concierge service for international patients. Airport pickup, accommodation booking, local SIM card, multilingual translator (Arabic, French, Russian, Mandarin available), and even sightseeing arrangements. This service is complimentary for procedures over ₹1,00,000.

Why choose Hyderabad over Mumbai, Delhi, or Bangalore for plastic surgery?

Hyderabad offers excellent quality at lower cost than Mumbai/Delhi (15-20% less typically). It has international airport with direct flights from UAE, UK, USA, Singapore. The IT hub area (Kondapur/Gachibowli) where we are located is modern, English-speaking, and has world-class hospitals. The city has lower air pollution than Delhi and milder weather year-round.

Plastic Surgery in India for NRI ★ Save 60-75%

Why International Patients Choose India for Plastic Surgery

Over 2 million international patients travel to India annually for medical care, with plastic surgery being one of the fastest-growing specialties. The reasons are simple: same quality at 25-40% the cost, internationally-trained surgeons, modern hospital infrastructure, English-speaking staff, and short waiting times.

For NRI Indians, the calculation is even more favourable — combining a homeland visit with high-quality medical care, often paid for from accumulated NRE/NRO accounts. Hyderabad specifically attracts patients from the UAE (3-hour flight), UK, USA, Australia, and across Southeast Asia.
