FAQs
Which cosmetic surgeries are available in India?
A wide range of cosmetic procedures are available, including rhinoplasty, liposuction, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift, facelift, eyelid surgery, gynecomastia surgery and body-contouring procedures.
How much does cosmetic surgery cost in India?
The cost depends on the procedure and individual requirements. Indicative prices can range from around $1,200 for some single-area procedures to $7,000 or more for complex or combined procedures. The final quotation is provided after specialist assessment.
How much does rhinoplasty cost in India?
An indicative range for rhinoplasty is approximately $1,500–$4,500. The final cost depends on whether the surgery is cosmetic, functional or revision surgery and on the complexity of the procedure.
How much does liposuction cost in India?
An indicative range is approximately $1,200–$3,500 for a single area. Multiple areas or more extensive body contouring may cost more.
How much does breast augmentation cost in India?
An indicative range is approximately $2,500–$5,000. The final cost depends on the type and brand of implant, surgical technique, hospital and individual requirements.
How much does a tummy tuck cost in India?
An indicative range is approximately $2,500–$5,500. The final cost depends on the extent of abdominal correction, whether liposuction is combined with the procedure and other surgical requirements.
How long do I need to stay in India after cosmetic surgery?
The recommended stay depends on the procedure. As an approximate medical-travel guideline, patients may need around 5–7 days for smaller procedures, 7–10 days for procedures such as rhinoplasty or liposuction, 10–14 days for tummy tuck or breast surgery, and around 14–21 days for procedures such as a facelift or more extensive combined surgery. The exact timing should be confirmed by your surgeon before you book your return journey.
How long does recovery take after cosmetic surgery?
Recovery varies significantly by procedure. Liposuction patients often return to work within a few weeks, with swelling continuing to improve over subsequent weeks. Major procedures such as tummy tuck or combined body contouring can require several weeks before normal activities are fully resumed. Facial procedures may have visible swelling and bruising for several weeks. Your surgeon will provide an individual recovery plan.
How long does it take to recover from rhinoplasty?
Initial swelling usually reduces over the first few weeks, but the nose can continue to refine for many months. Some changes can continue for up to a year after surgery.
How long does it take to recover from breast augmentation?
Many patients experience the greatest discomfort during the first several days, while soreness and swelling can continue for a few weeks. Return to exercise and normal activity should follow the surgeon’s specific instructions.
Can I travel home immediately after cosmetic surgery?
Usually, no. International patients should remain in India until the surgeon has completed the necessary early follow-up and confirms that they are fit to travel. The timing depends on the procedure and your recovery.
Can I combine more than one cosmetic procedure?
In some cases, procedures can be safely combined, such as liposuction with a tummy tuck or multiple breast procedures. However, combining procedures increases surgical complexity, so the surgeon must determine whether it is appropriate and safe for you.
Will I need a medical examination before cosmetic surgery?
Yes. Your surgeon may request a medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, imaging or other assessments depending on the procedure and your health.
Can I send photographs before travelling?
Yes. Photographs may help the specialist understand your concerns and provide an initial opinion. However, photographs do not replace an in-person medical examination, and the final treatment plan is determined after specialist assessment.
Can I get a second opinion before travelling?
Yes. You can share your medical history, previous surgery records and relevant photographs or reports for specialist review and a second opinion.
What happens after I return to my home country if I have a problem?
Your care does not end when you return home. Before you leave India, Lagom will help you understand your discharge instructions, medications, follow-up schedule and whom to contact for any post-treatment concerns. If you develop a problem after returning home, you can contact the Lagom care team, who can coordinate with your treating hospital or specialist in India and guide you on the next steps. Depending on the situation, this may include arranging a remote consultation, reviewing new reports or test results, coordinating with your treating doctor, or advising you to seek immediate medical attention locally. For any serious or emergency symptoms, you should seek care at the nearest emergency facility in your home country immediately rather than waiting for a response from Lagom.
Will I know the final cost before travelling?
We provide an indicative estimate after specialist and hospital review. The final cost is confirmed by the treating surgeon or hospital after assessment of your individual requirements.
