Liposuction Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of liposuction in Gurgaon typically ranges from $1,900 to $7,000 USD (about ₹1.80 lakh to ₹6.64 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for liposuction in Gurgaon is around $3,500 (about ₹3.32 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 $1,900 (about ₹1.80 lakh). It is likely to be nearer $7,000 (about ₹6.64 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 liposuction, 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

Liposuction takes away unwanted fat from areas including the abdomen, thighs or arms through small cuts using a suction tube, to change body shape rather than to lose weight.

The NHS says that liposuction takes away unwanted fat and suits people who are not overweight and have firm, elastic skin, and that it does not treat obesity or remove cellulite or stretch marks.

A solution is injected to reduce bleeding and swelling, then the fat is broken up and sucked out through small cuts in an operation that normally lasts one to three hours.

The NHS advises wearing a compression garment for a number of weeks, starting gentle exercise at about three to four weeks and strenuous exercise after 10 to 12 weeks, with results taking up to six months to show.

Bruising and swelling can last up to six months, and numbness, uneven results and infection are possible.

Flying home: aviation guidance does not cover cosmetic surgery, so wait for the surgeon's wound check before flying and get up to walk regularly during the flight.

A Gurgaon quote for liposuction 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.
• Areas: how many are treated.
• Anaesthesia: normally general.
• Stay: commonly one night.
• Compression garments: for a number of 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.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still 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.

Gurgaon sits on the south-western edge of Delhi, a short road transfer from Indira Gandhi International Airport, which is the usual arrival point for international patients.
