When comparing Gurgaon packages for flap-eared correction under general anaesthesia, check whether each quote includes:

• GST

• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

Flap-eared correction under general anaesthesia is ear pinning (otoplasty) carried out while the patient is asleep, an approach often used for children.

The NHS says ear pinning is not done before age 5 because the cartilage is too soft. Young children may find it hard to keep still under local anaesthetic, so a general anaesthetic is commonly chosen.

Before 6 months of age, splints can reshape prominent ears without surgery while the cartilage is soft.

The bandage and stitches normally come off after 5 to 10 days, and a headband is worn at night for a number of weeks.

The NHS advises 1 to 2 weeks off school and about 8 weeks before contact sports.

Flying home: UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance treats 24 hours after keyhole surgery as the earliest point, because gas used in the abdomen needs to clear, but wait until the wounds have been checked.

A Gurgaon quote for flap-eared correction under general anaesthesia is normally made up of these items:

• Tests before surgery: bloods, an ECG and an anaesthetic check.
• Theatre and anaesthesia: set mostly by operating time.
• Surgeon's fees: which vary with experience.
• Tax: GST can appear on the bill, since cosmetic surgery sits outside the healthcare exemption.
• Patient age: normally 5 and over.
• One ear or both: the extent of surgery.
• General anaesthesia: and day-case stay.
• Review appointments: bandage removal.

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.

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.
