Please read my review of Dr Sameer on my facelift review. If you read my review you will see how I came to find Dr Sameer in India. I had never expected to travel to India, but after seeing posts and pictures of his patients I felt like I had found my doctor. From the moment I started making enquires about his hospital, I received prompt replies directly from Dr Sameer. I was impressed because prior to him all other enquires to other medical tourists hospitals was with coordinators, never the actual doctor. That was a great first impression, I continued to bombard Dr Sameer with questions daily, he always politely replied and never made me feel like I was imposing on his time. I had such a good feeling about him that I didn't want to go to anyone else after establishing a connection with him. You will see too, from the moment you contact the hospital, you are communicating directly with Dr Sameer. Anyway, i arrived and had the other procedures done, Dr Sameer felt that my previous implants needed to be replaced, it had been at least 15 years and my right breast implant was very calsified. I knew they were old and would need replacing eventually, so I decided to go for it. Previously I had much smaller implants 150 cc in left and 175 cc in right, Dr Sameer recommended that we increase the cc's for the replacements. I was very hesitant as I liked what I had and didn't want to look too busty, I have tried to maintain a very natural look, where nobody would guess "implants". The Dr explained that it was necessary to increase as there was stretching, cavity growth etc. we agreed on 275 cc. I tried to post pictures, but they are coming in upside down, will work on this later.

Wow, what a journey! Thank you so much for sharing all your helpful details in your reviews. You are very courageous to fly from Canada to India solo! Hoping your new implants are starting to look and feel natural even though they're slightly larger. Congratulations and looking forward to more review updates and pictures!

Congratulations! You are looking good. Dr Sameer really is a great surgeon. I would go back to him for surgery in a heart beat. I know you will be very very happy with the final result.

You look great!
I am afraid of doing a full facelift, eyes, neck And Lipo on stomach & fat transfer to my buttocks (Brazilian Butt lift). What do you think? Too many things at the same time? Thanks for your response!

So I couldn't find any pre op pictures to post, but I do have post pictures. I think my breasts look pretty natural even though they are slightly bigger than what I wanted.

Decided to combine my breast augmentation with my tummy tuck to save time. I have posted my pre and post op pictures of both breast and stomach as they were taken together. These pictures were taken before and then shortly after the operation.

Are you kidding me???? After all I've said about this doctor, he is probably the best cosmetic surgeon in all of India and can also stand up against any doctor in North America as well. I did not travel half way around the world to have my surgery performed by some under qualified back shop doctor. Dr Sameer may not be world famous or have a fancy " Spa like clinic" but I would much rather go to a qualified doctor in India over some overpriced, under qualified, "Spa doctor" any day. Very very unfair!!!!! Shame on you!!

Sure flying solo. U find a lot of fake profiles these days and it becomes difficult to trust reviews as people dont disclose their identity. However I just expressed my doubt. Ur response is over the top
October 30, 2015
Not at all , my response is to you in trying to devalue my experience. I had a wonderful, positive experience in cosmetic surgery and was happy to pass on my positive experience. I was excited to share my results with people here on real self and am extremely upset that you tried to put a twist on it. Please state your research before you decide to make remarks on someone you know nothing about. My experiences are real and so are my evaluations . If you wish to contact me privately to get further information I am happy to oblige .

I know this is several months old but just read it and although I don't know what renuffleurrosie said that real self wouldn't post, by your responses, I can guess. Just want to say that you certainly always seemed authentic to me. All sorts of people come up with all sorts of strange stuff on the internet; don't let it get to you. Your reviews have really interested and helped me as I search for the right doctor for my own procedures. I have been to India and worked with many Indian people around the world and it didn't surprise me at all that a really wonderful doctor exists and he happens to be in India. Thanks for all your postings and I'm going back to read the facelift one again. :)

Flying Solo, I am so glad you documented your great experience with Dr. Sameer! I never thought for one moment about going out of the US to have plastic surgery but after seeing the before & after photos And reading the reviews i might start planning a trip to India to have work done with Dr. Sameer. I am in Miami, FL where we have a lot of surgeons some thought of as good and extremely expensive. Sometimes there's not a big difference in their patients, women's faces are not that great looking nor youthful. I don't know why it is. The women and men done by Dr. Sameer looked very youthful, their sutures well done and not too much bruising, banged up or long recuperation period. He must be doing something right because it shows in his work!
