What are the common misconceptions about plastic surgery, and how do you address them?

Dr. Karthik Ram: The biggest misconception is that plastic surgery, especially cosmetic surgery is a luxury. In reality, it's often about improving quality of life.

For example, women with heavy breasts suffering from back and neck pain come to us for relief, not vanity. A young boy with gynecomastia who’s deeply distressed isn't seeking luxury he’s seeking confidence. Or someone with a deviated nose avoiding photographs and facing breathing issues rhinoplasty for them is life-changing, not cosmetic.

People think only celebrities undergo such procedures, but that's less than 0.05% of our patients. Most of our clients are everyday people who travel by train, bus, or auto. Cosmetic surgery is not about status it's about self-esteem and well-being.

Safety is a major concern. How do you ensure it?
Dr. Karthik Ram: Safety is our top priority. These are elective procedures, so we take the time to ensure patients are medically fit—if blood sugar or thyroid levels are off, we wait.

We follow global best practices, including comprehensive checklists at every stage—before, during, and after surgery. Patients receive detailed instructions a week in advance, and our team follows strict discharge and follow-up protocols. This systematic approach ensures a smooth, complication-free experience.
