Cosmetic and reconstructive surgery
Cosmetic (aesthetic) surgery changes appearance for personal reasons: for example reshaping, contouring or rejuvenating an area of the body. Reconstructive surgery restores form and function after injury, disease, surgery or birth differences, for example repairing scars.
If you are considering a particular procedure, please call the hospital to check whether it is offered and who performs it.
Common concerns people seek help for
- Scars from injuries or previous surgery that are wide, raised or tight
- Lumps under the skin such as lipomas and cysts, removed with attention to the scar
- Male breast enlargement (gynaecomastia)
- Excess skin or fat after weight loss or pregnancy
- Breast size or shape concerns
Whether a concern can be treated here depends on the procedure.
Is cosmetic surgery right for you?
Good candidates are generally in good health, don't smoke (or are willing to stop), have a stable weight, and have realistic expectations. Surgery can improve appearance, but it cannot guarantee a particular look, change how others treat you, or resolve emotional difficulties on its own. A careful surgeon will sometimes advise against surgery, or suggest waiting. That is a sign of good care.
Some conditions increase the risks of surgery: uncontrolled diabetes, heart or lung disease, bleeding disorders, smoking and certain medicines. These are checked before any procedure.
When to see a doctor
Book a consultation if a scar, lump or physical feature is causing discomfort, functional problems or distress. See a doctor promptly for:
- A lump that is growing, hard, painful or changing colour
- A wound or scar that is red, hot, swollen or discharging
- Complications after a cosmetic procedure done elsewhere, such as fever, severe pain or wound breakdown
Your consultation at Samrijo

- An honest opinion: whether a procedure is likely to help, what the alternatives are (including no surgery), and what results are realistic.
- Tests before any procedure, at the in-house laboratory.
- Time to decide: you are never pressured to book on the same day.

Safety first: questions to ask any surgeon
- What are your qualifications and training for this specific procedure?
- Where will it be done, and is there 24×7 medical cover afterwards?
- What are the most common and the most serious risks?
- What will recovery really involve, and how long before I see the final result?
- What happens, and what will it cost, if a revision is needed?
Be cautious of offers that promise "guaranteed results", "no scars" or unusually low prices. Honest surgeons explain limits as well as benefits.

कॉस्मेटिक और रीकंस्ट्रक्टिव सर्जरी, बुराड़ी
कॉस्मेटिक सर्जरी रूप-रंग में बदलाव के लिए की जाती है, जबकि रीकंस्ट्रक्टिव सर्जरी चोट, बीमारी या पुराने ऑपरेशन के बाद शरीर के आकार और काम को बेहतर करती है, जैसे पुराने निशान (स्कार) को ठीक करना। दोनों ही सर्जरी हैं और इनके अपने जोखिम होते हैं।
Samrijo Hospital, बुराड़ी में परामर्श के दौरान आपकी ज़रूरत, विकल्प, जोखिम और वास्तविक परिणामों के बारे में ईमानदारी से बताया जाता है, और फ़ैसला लेने के लिए पूरा समय दिया जाता है। कोई भी सर्जन निश्चित परिणाम का वादा नहीं कर सकता। "गारंटीड रिज़ल्ट" या "बिना निशान" जैसे दावों से सावधान रहें। किसी विशेष प्रक्रिया की उपलब्धता जानने के लिए अस्पताल से संपर्क करें।

Frequently asked questions
Which cosmetic procedures are done at Samrijo?
The list of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures offered is being finalised. Please call the hospital to ask about a specific procedure.
Who should perform cosmetic surgery?
Cosmetic and reconstructive procedures should be performed by a qualified surgeon with appropriate training for that procedure, such as a plastic surgeon for many cosmetic operations. Always ask about your surgeon's qualifications and experience.
Are the results of cosmetic surgery permanent?
Some changes last many years, but the body continues to age and weight changes can affect results. No surgeon can promise a specific outcome. Your surgeon will explain realistic expectations.
Is a lipoma or skin cyst removal cosmetic surgery?
Removal of a lipoma (fatty lump) or sebaceous cyst is usually considered general surgery, though the incision is planned to leave the least noticeable scar. See our General Surgery page.
Is cosmetic surgery covered by insurance?
Purely cosmetic procedures are usually not covered by health insurance. Reconstructive procedures needed for medical reasons may be covered, depending on your policy.
What does cosmetic surgery cost?
It depends on the procedure, anaesthesia, stay and follow-up. Call 93196 62944 for an estimate after a consultation.
कॉस्मेटिक सर्जरी से पहले क्या पूछना चाहिए?
सर्जन की योग्यता और अनुभव, प्रक्रिया के जोखिम, रिकवरी का समय, संभावित परिणाम और कुल ख़र्च के बारे में पहले से साफ़ जानकारी लें।
क्या कॉस्मेटिक सर्जरी का परिणाम पक्का होता है?
नहीं, कोई भी सर्जन निश्चित परिणाम का वादा नहीं कर सकता। परिणाम व्यक्ति की त्वचा, उम्र, सेहत और देखभाल पर निर्भर करते हैं।
