Returning Home for Cosmetic Surgery: A Growing Trend Among NRIs
Why patients from Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the Middle East trust Dr. Prince in Thrissur for Tummy Tuck and Breast Reduction surgery.
Many Indians living in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the Middle East, and North America are choosing Kerala as their destination for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Among the most commonly requested procedures are tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and breast reduction surgery, especially among women seeking expert care, personalized attention, and cost-effective treatment without compromising safety.
For many NRIs, selecting the right surgeon is the most important decision. Over the years, Dr. Prince HP, Plastic Surgeon at Sushrutha Institute of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Elite Mission Hospital, Thrissur, has become a preferred choice for patients travelling from overseas.
Why Overseas Patients Trust Dr. Prince
One of the biggest concerns for patients living abroad is the inability to meet their surgeon before travelling. Dr. Prince addresses this by offering detailed pre-operative consultations through WhatsApp and video calls. Patients can:
- Discuss their concerns directly with the surgeon
- Share photographs for preliminary assessment
- Understand realistic expectations
- Receive guidance regarding travel planning
- Clarify all doubts before booking tickets
Travelling internationally for surgery requires careful coordination. Dr. Prince and his team assist patients with scheduling according to travel dates, medical documentation, pre-operative investigations, hotel/accommodation guidance, recovery planning, and airport travel considerations.
Elite Mission Hospital is a NABH-accredited tertiary care hospital. The Plastic Surgery Department (Sushrutha Institute) consists of a team of seven plastic surgeons who collaborate on complex cases. Overseas patients have immediate 24/7 access to Intensive Care, Anaesthesiology, Cardiology, and Pulmonology services under one roof.
Specialized Clinical Procedures
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Ideal for women post-pregnancy or after significant weight loss. This procedure removes excess skin and tightens weakened abdominal muscles. Dr. Prince routinely combines this with advanced laser-assisted liposuction.
Breast Reduction Surgery
Large breasts can cause chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain. Breast reduction surgery dramatically improves your quality of life while creating a well-proportioned body contour matching your framework.
