Posted 11 May 2011

Just couple of weeks ago i was asking questons about how smart is it to go to India for a rhinoplasty due to a low budget. Well, 95% of people were trying to convience me it's not smart. But i still did it, because I had a feeling about it and i did a research before going. I CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW HAPPY I AM ABOUT DECISION I MADE! I am 5 days post operative and cast is off. Nose is still swollen (not much i was so scared of that part) but i can clearly see the results! They are great!

That was my diagnose after doctor saw my pictures:

"We saw pictures of Anastassiya. She requires complete make-over because she has long nose with slight hump at the dorsum. Her nasal tip is bulbous and the nostrils are asymmetrical. The columella is also deviated.

Open-tip approach is best for her. This will give excellent view of her nasal framework. The length of nose can be reduced to desired size appropriate to her overall face. The bulbous tip needs refinement by trimming cartilages. The hump needs reduction and septoplasty will help in correcting septal deviation. The nostril asymmetry also needs to be addressed. Nasal packs for 48 hours and splint for a week should suffice. Hospital stay of 3 days and after discharge an additional 4-5 days stay in the city for follow ups will be appropriate for her septo-rhinoplasty surgery."

The price $2300 included:
1) Pre operative investigations, Consultations and Follow Up.
2) Surgery, surgeon’s fees, Anesthetists Fees, Drugs and Consumables.
3) 3 days stay in the hospital and in India--in an AC deluxe room affixed with TV, cable, phone line
4) Food for your total stay.
5) Airport pickup and drop.

I will update pictures as soon as I am back. Feel free to ask any questions!

My rating:

I found this doctor through a provider - They recommended him and I traveled to India with their help. (VISA, airport pick up, accomodation etc) I was very nervous and at first almost changed my mind about surgery when I got there but after i met Dr. I all doubts were gone! Sweetest person, he made me feel so comfortable and safe, answered all my questions and I had surgery next day after speaking to him. He has great sence of humor and puts you at ease in no time. There is no words how pleased I am with his services and the result i see so far.

Thank you, his web. looks good, the only thing is I do not see price page.
Ana from NYC 12 May 2011
he'll give you the price when you send him your pictures. Every case cost different.
animallover1 12 May 2011
The sucks is that he doesn't have pictures of his work.
Ana from NYC 12 May 2011
well that didnt scare me off. He actually was complaining to me on my last visit that patients never send him pictures after. Just leave and forget about him. So he BEGGED me not to forget to send him pictures to put them up on his web page
animallover1 12 May 2011
Ana, how much did you spend on the air ticket and hotels all together ? Did you do anything else or just rhinoplasty ?
animallover1 12 May 2011
I am actually went through the site of Dr.M.S.Venkatesh in India who is professor aswell. Looks ike he is really professional he is done some procedures on movie stars. I just sent him email with my pictures and anotehr email to the pioneer Dr.
Ana from NYC 12 May 2011
air ticket was $1100. I spent 4 nights in the hotel ($60 a day). Also i got lumineers done for my teeth
animallover1 12 May 2011
Wow, it's pretty expensive hotel for $60/night in India
I knew one girl who rent a house on the beach for $35/month
Ana from NYC 12 May 2011
ahahah! Don't believe it! A day, maybe! India is somewhat poor and cheap but not like that! Nice frooty drink cost here $1, so imagine, was that girl renting a house on the beach for 35 juicy drinks a month??? No way!
animallover1 12 May 2011
It was 12 years ago when she lived there. I believe her, she was my roomate in London. May be life in India has slightly changed and economy aswell.
But common, you have to agree that $60/night in the hotel way too much. I lived in England right on the water at the Bed and Breakfast which is so nice for 18 pound.night with the breakfast.

Yeah but that was in 1986... Unless the b+b was derilict. I just had Rhinoplasty in Belgium, it was around $3000 all together. Minus travelling.
Ana from NYC 13 May 2011
hmmm i dont know. I dont travel much. But originally Im from a god forgotten country called Kazakhstan and even over there average hotel is $50. So I dont think it's expensive.
animallover1 13 May 2011
Few years ago I went hiking to Arizona. When my vacation was over, me and my friend stopped at the Very Big Hotel-Casino for $35/night which ws 30 m in from the airport. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a big room with two separate bed and very clean.
If you go to on the internet www.tripadvisor you can find even in Mexico places for $34/night with the good reviews and places which is $60 and up. So, I think country where overage income $1000/year $60/night for the hotel is too much. Plus it's not a place which is on the top of the holy mountain and silence to meditate.
I am pretty sure there many places up there with the good service and clean all you have to do just research. I just think the doctors are friends with the hotel where you stayed and they help each other to advertise Hotel for the tourist.

WOW to that price. I would ahve been too scared. I'm glad it work out for you . I had surgery done by head of plastic surgery in Ohio general . I am please with result, I needed the best. I had two before and was not happy. Now I'm happy paid around $10,000. It was worth the peace of mind.

Guys I think you should be a little careful this isnt just an advert from the Drs themselves. : )
animallover1 29 May 2011
What do you mean ? Do you think this post directly from doctor in India ?
Angiemcc (Community Manager) 29 May 2011

If this is a doctor from India, he or she is very, very good at appearing legit. We investigate each review we get and this passes our test.

animallover1 29 May 2011
Sorry, are you trying to say it didn't past your test ?
Angiemcc (Community Manager) 10 Jun 2011

If it did not pass our test, it would not appear on RealSelf.
