Choosing to undergo a cosmetic or plastic surgery procedure is a major decision one that should be made only after you feel fully safe, informed, and confident. Whether it’s a rhinoplasty, facelift, eyelid surgery, liposuction, gynecomastia correction or a body-contouring procedure, the results depend greatly on the skill, experience, and aesthetic sense of your surgeon.
At Arna Dermatology, aesthetics & plastic surgery, Jubilee Hills, we meet many patients who tell us they feel confused: “How do I know which surgeon is actually qualified?”
This blog simplifies that decision for you.
Check the Surgeon’s Qualifications (This is Non-Negotiable)
Cosmetic surgery should always be performed by a board-certified, trained plastic surgeon, not by general doctors or technicians who offer shortcuts at cheap prices.
Ensure your surgeon has:
- M.Ch or DNB in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
- Verified training at accredited medical institutions
- Experience performing the specific procedure you want
- Membership in recognized bodies like APSI / ISAPS
- A practice dedicated to aesthetics & reconstructive work
Why it matters:
Plastic surgery is a super-specialty requiring years of training in anatomy, tissue handling, microsurgery, aesthetics, and safety protocols. Choosing anyone less qualified increases the risk of poor cosmetic results and complications.
Look at Real Before–After Results
Never rely only on photos posted online. Ask to see real, unedited before–after photographs of patients operated by the same surgeon.
What to look for:
• Natural-looking improvement
• Symmetry
• Consistency across multiple patients
• Avoiding overdone or artificial results
• Good scarring and healing patterns
At Arna Clinic, we maintain a confidential portfolio that is shown to patients during consultation so they understand realistic outcomes.
Read Verified Reviews — Not Just Ratings
A 5-star rating doesn’t always mean the surgeon is good.
Read reviews that mention:
• Doctor’s communication style
• Time spent in consultation
• How clearly the procedure and risks were explained
• Post-operative support and follow-ups
• Realistic expectations set before surgery
• How ethical and transparent the clinic felt
Patients often share their real experiences in long-form reviews. These provide the most honest insights.
Assess the Clinic Setup & Safety Standards
The clinic must be equipped for safe sterile procedures, and surgeries must be performed only in a NABH-accredited hospital or fully equipped surgical center.
Safety checklist:
✔ Proper sterilization protocols
✔ HIPAA-style patient privacy
✔ Clear pre-op and post-op instructions
✔ Staff trained in surgical safety
✔ Emergency readiness
At Arna Dermatology, aesthetics & plastic surgery, we ensure that all surgeries are performed in fully accredited surgical centres with senior anaesthesiologists and strict infection-control protocols.
Evaluate Their Approach During Consultation
One of the biggest signs of a good plastic surgeon is the time they spend educating you.
During your consultation, ask yourself:
• Did they understand my concerns properly?
• Did they recommend the right procedure, not just the most expensive one?
• Did they explain risks honestly?
• Did they show realistic expectations, not overpromise?
• Did they use digital imaging / mirror analysis to show likely outcomes?
A responsible surgeon will always:
- Set clear expectations
- Discuss both benefits and limitations
- Never pressure you to book immediately
Understand the Importance of Follow-Up Care
Plastic surgery is not just “the day of surgery”. Proper follow-ups are essential for good healing.
A good clinic will schedule routine follow-ups, assist with dressing, scar care, pain control, and track your recovery for weeks to months.
At Arna Clinic, our team supports patients right from pre-operative counselling to long-term healing ensuring comfort at every step.
Do Not Choose Based on Price Alone
Cosmetic surgery should never be decided by cost. Lower clinic prices often reflect:
• Inexperienced surgeons
• Compromised facility standards
• Non-medical staff doing procedures
• No follow-up or aftercare
• Unsafe shortcuts
Your face and body deserve the highest standard of care.
A qualified surgeon may cost more but they save you from complications, revision surgeries, and long-term regret.
