I'm very grateful to Dr Sameer and his wonderful...

I'm very grateful to Dr Sameer and his wonderful team in Mumbai. I received the best care that anyone could hope for.

I made contact with Dr Sameer in March 2016, all my emails and phone calls were answered very quickly. I paid a small deposit to secure my surgery, then booked my flight from Toronto to the UK and then flew from the UK to Mumbai India. I left on the 9th October arrive on the 10th. The time difference is 10 1/2 hours, from Toronto.

I was met at the airport, by a driver, who promptly past me a phone to say hello to Sharada (the office manager) It was very reassuring, as I'm a very apprehensive person.

The following morning, was spent at a diagnostic lab for blood work, x-rays, mammogram, ECG, ultra sound. After which I met with Dr Sameer. We again went over my hopes and wishes. He also suggested I brought photos of when I was younger so he could see how I had aged. I would say he took off 20 years. I had a face lift with lower and upper eyes. Plus breast augmentation 350c placed above the mussel.

After the surgery I was sick, which I knew that would happen, the night nurse stayed with me the whole night. I was fitted with a catheter and an intravenous drip for pain medication. I didn't leave my bed for two days.

The nursing staff are wonderful, I was treated wonderfully, I was never in any pain. Dr Sameer visited twice a day. I didn't have any bruising which I thought was amazing.

I stayed at the clinic for 19 days. My reason to stay so long, was to make sure I was fit for traveling home as the flights were so long and if there had been any complications or concerns I would be in the right place. To be honest I could have traveled home after two weeks as I only had a small amount of facial swelling. The last few days I was sight seeing and shopping. I spent my days resting, watching TV and reading books.

The face lift, eyes (lower and upper) and breast augmentation, plus 24hour clinic care total was $14000.00 CAD. My flight was $921 CAD, Visa for visiting India $164 CAD

One of the regrets I do have is, two days after my first operation I was booked to have a mini tummy tuck and lipo. But I chickened out because I always throw up after surgery. Dr Sameer wanted to wait two days. When I cancelled he said " that was ok and not to worry" oh how I wish he had been more forceful I could have an hourglass figure now ! lol The extra for lipo and mini tummy tuck was $4000 CAD

I should mention that I also met with two surgeons in Toronto they to had wonderful reviews, but after the surgery I had to stay in a hotel for one night, then have a check up the following morning, then travel for 3hours in a car to go home and look after myself. At the time it brought up a red flag to me, so that's when I started to look for a surgeon that gave me 24hour care or longer if I wanted it.

If your looking for an artist in his field with years of experience, who has a wonderful team, who treat you royally, I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Sameer Karhanis.

Dr Sameer, is not only a reconstructive surgeon he's a fabulous plastic surgeon. He answered all my questions via email and phone calls promptly. I'm very pleased with the final results. All the staff are absolutely wonderful from the staff nurses down to even the cleaning staff, I was made very welcome and received the best care and attention. Yes it can be scary traveling to another country that your not familiar with. But even though I was apprehensive and scared of having surgery I'm so so so so pleased I did it. And the person reading this review, you will not regret making the same decision I did if you travel to Mumbai to Dr Sameer for your surgery. He exceeded my expectations !
