Cosmetic Surgery in Ahmedabad by Dr. Aniket Dave
One surgeon, one philosophy — naturalness and proportion. From rhinoplasty and facelift to liposuction, tummy tuck and breast surgery, every aesthetic procedure is planned around your own anatomy, never a template.

The procedure, explained.
Cosmetic surgery is the planned, surgeon-led refinement of the face and body to bring features back into proportion with one another. Dr. Aniket Dave offers the full aesthetic range under one roof in Ahmedabad. For the face, this includes rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), facelift and neck lift for ageing skin, and eyelid surgery — blepharoplasty — for tired, hooded eyes. For the body, he performs liposuction for stubborn, diet-resistant fat and abdominoplasty — the tummy tuck — to restore a flat abdomen after weight loss or pregnancy. Breast aesthetics span augmentation, reduction and the breast lift (mastopexy), each tailored to frame rather than overwhelm. Male patients are treated for gynaecomastia (male breast tissue), a common and quietly distressing concern. Hair restoration addresses thinning and recession, while non-surgical options — Botox and dermal fillers — refresh the face without an operation when surgery is not yet warranted. The unifying philosophy is restraint: this is a surgeon's practice, not a salon. Every plan begins with what suits your features, your skin type and the realities of the Indian and Gujarati patient — thicker skin, different healing, family and social context. Where a non-surgical or smaller option will serve you better, Dr. Dave will say so. The aim is never an obviously altered look, but a face and body that simply read as a better-rested, more balanced version of you.
Is this procedure right for you?
Cosmetic surgery suits adults seeking aesthetic refinement who are in good health and hold realistic expectations. Common reasons people consult Dr. Dave include:
- A facial feature out of balance — nose, jawline, hooded eyelids or a heavy neck
- Diet- and exercise-resistant fat on the abdomen, flanks, arms or thighs
- Loose abdominal skin or separated muscle after pregnancy or major weight loss
- Breasts that feel too large, too small, asymmetric or that have lost shape
- Male chest fullness from gynaecomastia that limits clothing or confidence
- Early signs of ageing — fine lines, volume loss, sagging — wanting a refresh
- Thinning hair or a receding hairline
- Stable weight, non-smoker (or willing to stop), and no untreated medical conditions
A surgeon's judgement, not a sales counter.
Aesthetic medicine in India is crowded with clinics that sell procedures by package. Dr. Dave's practice works the opposite way: the consultation decides the procedure, not the other way around. He frequently advises patients to do less than they came in asking for — a filler instead of a facelift, a focused liposuction instead of a full tummy tuck — because proportion, not volume, is what reads as beautiful. His reconstructive and microsurgical training gives him an unusually precise feel for tissue, scar placement and blood supply, which directly benefits cosmetic outcomes. Every plan begins with photographs, measurements and, where useful, 3D imaging so you can see a realistic projection before committing. Surgery is performed in an accredited operating theatre with consultant anaesthesia.
What happens on the day.
Because cosmetic surgery spans many operations, this is the journey every patient follows — from first conversation to final result.
- 01
Private consultation
An unhurried discussion of what bothers you, your medical history and what is realistically achievable. No pressure, no same-day-decision tactics.
- 02
Assessment and 3D imaging
Examination, measurements, photographs and — for facial and breast work — 3D simulation so you can preview a likely outcome before agreeing to anything.
- 03
Bespoke surgical plan
Dr. Dave proposes the specific procedure (or combination) that suits you, with an honest view of trade-offs, scars and downtime, and a written all-inclusive quote.
- 04
Pre-operative preparation
Blood investigations, anaesthetic fitness review, and clear instructions — stopping smoking, pausing certain medications, arranging help at home.
- 05
The procedure
Performed in an accredited theatre under local, sedation or general anaesthesia as appropriate, with consultant anaesthesia for major cases.
- 06
Guided recovery
Staged follow-up, dressings or garment care, and personal post-operative access so questions are answered quickly through healing.
- 07
Reviewing the result
Scheduled reviews over weeks to months — most aesthetic results settle gradually, and Dr. Dave follows you until the outcome is final.
A realistic recovery, day by day.
Rest, swelling and bruising at their peak, mild discomfort controlled with oral medication. Most minor procedures discharge the same day; larger ones may need an overnight stay.
Dressings, splints or compression garments managed at follow-up. Desk work is often possible for smaller procedures; bigger surgery needs more rest.
Most visible bruising fades. Light daily activity resumes. Sutures removed where needed. Heavy lifting and exercise still restricted.
Return to exercise for most procedures. Swelling continues to settle. Scars are still maturing and should be sun-protected.
Final refined result emerges as swelling fully resolves and scars soften and fade. Timelines vary widely by procedure and skin type.
Consented patient outcomes.
All images shown with explicit written consent. Photographs are unretouched.
Transparent pricing, no surprises.
Cosmetic pricing varies widely by procedure — every plan is quoted individually at consultation.
Because cosmetic surgery covers everything from a quick non-surgical refresh to a multi-stage body contouring operation, there is no single price. A session of Botox or a focused liposuction sits at the lower end; a combined facelift, a full abdominoplasty, or breast surgery with a lift sits much higher. After your consultation you receive a transparent, all-inclusive written quote — covering surgeon fees, anaesthesia, theatre charges, implants or grafts where used, hospital stay and follow-up — so there are no surprises later.
- Which procedure (or combination of procedures) is planned
- Surgical vs non-surgical approach (e.g. filler vs facelift)
- Implants, grafts or special materials used
- Type of anaesthesia and length of hospital stay
- Complexity, including revision of previous surgery elsewhere
- Imaging, garments and follow-up care, all included in the quote
Honest pre-op disclosure.
All surgery carries risk, and Dr. Dave discusses these honestly at consultation rather than glossing over them. General risks across cosmetic procedures include:
- Swelling and bruising — universal, resolving over weeks to months
- Scarring — placed discreetly but permanent; maturation takes up to a year
- Asymmetry or minor irregularity, occasionally needing a small revision
- Temporary numbness or altered sensation in the treated area
- Bleeding, infection or delayed healing (rare with sterile technique and antibiotic protocol)
- Anaesthesia-related risks, screened and minimised pre-operatively
