Body Contouring Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of body contouring in Gurgaon typically ranges from $620 to $6,000 USD (about ₹58,800 to ₹5.69 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for body contouring in Gurgaon is around $2,000 (about ₹1.90 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If one area is treated and you go home the same day, your bill is likely to be closer to $620 (about ₹58,800). It is likely to be nearer $6,000 (about ₹5.69 lakh) if several procedures are combined, the operation takes longer, you stay overnight or you choose a more senior surgeon.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for body contouring, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Dressings, splints or garments
• GST
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

Body contouring surgery removes loose skin and excess fat, often after large weight loss, to improve the body's shape and everyday comfort.

BAPRAS sets out NHS funding criteria that also show sensible timing: a weight that has been steady for about 12 months and a BMI of 28 or under for most procedures, although an apronectomy can be done at a higher BMI.

After weight-loss surgery, protein, iron and vitamin levels may be tested first.

BAPRAS warns that complications are common after these operations, mostly wound breakdown, fluid collections and blood clots. CosmetAssure, a large US insurance database whose findings were presented to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in 2015, found blood clots after 0.20% of combined procedures compared with 0.04% of single procedures.

Splitting surgery into stages with time to recover between them can lower the risk.

Flying home: UK aviation guidance has no figure for cosmetic surgery, so book the flight after the surgeon's wound check and walk about regularly on board.

A Gurgaon quote for body contouring is normally made up of these items:

• Pre-operative tests: blood tests, ECG and anaesthetic review.
• Theatre and anaesthesia: set mostly by operating time.
• Surgeon's fees: which vary with experience.
• GST: may be added, as cosmetic surgery is not exempt healthcare.
• Operations planned: body, arm or thigh lift, or liposuction.
• Staged or combined: the surgical plan.
• Anaesthetic and stay: general, often several nights.
• Garments and follow-up: for several weeks.

Cosmetic surgery in Gurgaon is normally paid for privately, so check whether the quote includes GST, the anaesthetist, compression garments and follow-up visits.

Gurgaon has plastic surgery services in both hospitals and day-care clinics, and for anything under general anaesthesia an on-site intensive care unit adds a margin of safety.

The National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), part of the Quality Council of India and accredited by ISQua, sets India's national hospital standard, and its website lets you confirm whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is current.

Before booking cosmetic surgery in Gurgaon, check that the surgeon is listed on the National Medical Commission's Indian Medical Register and ask for their medical council registration number.

Where a Gurgaon hospital has an international patient desk, ask whether it can issue the letter for your e-Medical visa and help with airport pickup, interpreters and a place to stay nearby.
