If you are searching for a plastic surgeon in Delhi NCR, finding names is easy. The harder part is working out which surgeon is trained for the procedure you want, who will actually operate on you, and what the surgery will cost and involve once you are past the first phone call. This guide covers those points, using the procedures Dr. Gautam Chaudhury, a Plastic Surgeon in Delhi, performs at his practice as working examples. It also covers how patients from Gurgaon, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad and different parts of Delhi can plan their visits.
Cosmetic Surgeon in Delhi NCR
If you are looking for a cosmetic surgeon in Delhi NCR, it is important to understand the available procedures, the surgeon’s qualifications and the possible risks before making a decision. Cosmetic surgery may involve changes to the face, breasts, abdomen or body contours, depending on an individual’s concerns and medical suitability.
Dr. Gautam Chaudhury is a plastic surgeon based in Delhi with qualifications in MBBS, MS (General Surgery) and M.Ch (Plastic Surgery). Patients from Delhi NCR can consult him to discuss suitable surgical options, treatment planning, recovery and potential complications.
What a Plastic Surgeon Does, and How That Differs from a Cosmetic Surgeon
A plastic surgeon treats two broad groups of problems.
- Reconstructive work repairs what injury, burns, cancer surgery or a birth difference has changed.
- Aesthetic work reshapes a normal body part because the patient wants it to look or function differently, such as a nose, an abdomen or male breast tissue.
The difference in training matters when you choose a doctor.
- In India, the recognised route to becoming a plastic surgeon is a three-year M.Ch (or DNB) in Plastic Surgery after MS in General Surgery.
- “Cosmetic surgeon” is a looser term that is not tied to one specific qualification, and doctors from several backgrounds use it.
- That is why the qualification matters more than the title on the board.
Dr. Gautam Chaudhury | Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon in Delhi NCR
Dr. Gautam Chaudhury is a Delhi-based plastic surgeon with 16 years of experience. He holds MBBS, MS (General Surgery) and M.Ch (Plastic Surgery) qualifications and is a member of the Indian Association of Plastic Surgeons (IAPS).
His areas of practice include rhinoplasty, gynecomastia surgery, liposuction, body contouring, breast surgery and gender affirmation procedures.

For patients considering a plastic surgeon in Delhi NCR, his qualifications, specialist training and procedure-specific experience can be reviewed before consultation.
Procedures a Cosmetic Surgeon in Delhi NCR Performs
The table below covers the procedures Dr. Gautam Chaudhury is most often consulted for. Recovery times are typical ranges for uncomplicated cases, and your own timeline depends on your health, the extent of surgery and how closely you follow aftercare.
| Procedure | What it addresses | Typical time before desk work |
|---|---|---|
| Rhinoplasty | Nose shape, hump, tip, bulbous nose, breathing problems | 1 to 2 weeks, with swelling settling over several months |
| Gynecomastia surgery | Enlarged male breast tissue | About 1 week |
| Liposuction | Localised fat that does not respond to diet and exercise | 3 to 7 days |
| Tummy tuck | Loose abdominal skin and separated abdominal muscles | About 2 weeks |
| Mommy makeover | Combined abdomen and breast changes after pregnancy | 2 to 3 weeks |
Each procedure has decisions built into it that a good consultation should settle before you book.
- Rhinoplasty: whether your nose needs an open or closed approach, and whether cartilage grafts are required.
- Gynecomastia: the grade of enlargement decides the technique. A mostly fatty breast can often be treated with liposuction alone, while firm glandular tissue has to be excised.
- Tummy tuck: the amount of loose skin and the state of the abdominal muscles decide between a mini and a full procedure.
- If a surgeon recommends a technique without examining you, treat that as a warning sign.
How to Choose the Best Cosmetic Surgeon in Delhi NCR?
There is no official ranking that tells you who the best plastic surgeon in Delhi NCR is, so the useful approach is to check a few things yourself.
- Check the qualification. Look for an M.Ch or DNB in Plastic Surgery.
- Ask for the registration number. Verify it on the National Medical Commission’s register or with the Delhi Medical Council, or the Haryana or Uttar Pradesh state council, depending on where the surgeon registered.
- Look at professional membership. Membership of a body such as the Indian Association of Plastic Surgeons is a further sign of specialist standing, but it does not replace the qualification.
- Ask for results of your specific procedure. A folder of dramatic photographs across many surgeries tells you little about how a rhinoplasty will turn out.
- Compare like with like. Look for before and after images taken with the same lighting and angle, and ask what the healing stage was when the after photo was taken.
- Notice how the consultation goes. A surgeon who examines you, explains what surgery cannot change and is willing to say you are not a candidate is more reliable than one who agrees to everything.
- Ask who operates and who gives the anaesthesia. You want the surgeon you met to be the surgeon in the operating room, working with a qualified anaesthetist.
- Get a written estimate. Surgeon’s fee, anaesthesia, facility charges, garments and follow-up visits are sometimes billed separately, so a low headline number can grow once these are added.
If you are travelling in from outside Delhi, the next section explains what you can do locally and which visits you cannot skip.
Plastic Surgeon in Delhi NCR for Patients from Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad
Dr. Gautam Chaudhury sees patients from across the National Capital Region, not only from within Delhi. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon in Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad or Greater Noida, the planning is largely the same, because the surgery takes place in Delhi and only a few visits need you in person.
Plastic surgeon for patients in Gurgaon
- If you are searching for a plastic surgeon in Gurgaon, you can usually get the standard pre-operative blood tests and an ECG done at a lab near home.
- Bring the reports to your pre-surgery visit, which removes at least one trip.
- The tests you need depend on your age, health and procedure, so confirm the list with the surgeon first.
- Our page on choosing a Plastic Surgeon in Gurgaon goes through this in more detail.
Plastic surgeon for patients in Noida and Greater Noida
- Patients looking for a plastic surgeon in Noida or Greater Noida mostly want to know how many visits are unavoidable.
- For most procedures that means the consultation, the day of surgery and one or two follow-ups in the first two weeks, when dressings, drains, stitches or a nasal splint are removed.
- Those follow-ups should be done by the operating surgeon, so plan them into your work calendar before you book the date.
- The page on finding a Plastic Surgeon in Noida covers the same planning questions.
Plastic surgeon for patients in Ghaziabad and Faridabad
- The same schedule applies if you are looking for a plastic surgeon in Ghaziabad or Faridabad.
- Arrange for someone to take you home after a day-care procedure, since you should not drive after anaesthesia.
- If you are having a tummy tuck, liposuction or gynecomastia surgery, you will be in a compression garment, so ask about a comfortable seating position for the trip home.
Plastic surgeon for patients in Delhi
- Patients from South Delhi, West Delhi, North Delhi and East Delhi, including localities such as Punjabi Bagh, Rajouri Garden and Dwarka, have the simplest schedule because follow-up visits are easy to fit in.
- That matters most for rhinoplasty, which needs several reviews over the first few months as the swelling settles.
Plastic Surgery Cost in Delhi NCR
The cost of plastic surgery in Delhi NCR varies widely because it depends on the technique, the extent of the surgery, the type of anaesthesia and the facility. The figures below are market ranges drawn from Delhi clinic pricing, not a quote from Dr. Chaudhury. Your actual estimate is given after examination.
| Procedure | Typical Delhi market range | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Gynecomastia surgery | ₹45,000 to ₹1.5 lakh | Grade of enlargement, liposuction only or gland excision |
| Tummy tuck | ₹80,000 to ₹4 lakh and above | Mini, full, extended or fleur-de-lis technique |
A few points explain the rest of the cost picture.
- Liposuction is priced by the number and size of areas treated, so a single figure is not meaningful.
- Rhinoplasty is quoted after an examination because primary and revision surgery differ so much in effort.
- The estimate is the same whether you live in Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad or Faridabad, but patients from outside Delhi should add travel and a short stay near the clinic to their budget.
- Aesthetic surgery is generally not covered by health insurance. Reconstructive surgery after injury, burns or cancer treatment may be, depending on the policy, so ask your insurer before you assume either way.

Cosmetic Surgery Consultations for Delhi NCR Patients
Dr. Gautam Chaudhury practises in Delhi and can discuss cosmetic and plastic surgery options with patients travelling from Gurgaon, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad. During a consultation, patients can ask questions about procedure suitability, preparation, recovery and follow-up appointments.
The recommended treatment plan and expected outcome will depend on individual clinical assessment. A consultation helps patients understand the available options and make an informed decision.
What Happens at a First Consultation?
At a first consultation you should expect the following.
- A conversation about what bothers you and what result you want.
- An examination of the area.
- A discussion of your medical history, including medicines, previous surgeries, smoking and any bleeding or anaesthesia problems.
- Standard photographs for planning, often for nose or breast procedures.
You should leave knowing the recommended technique, the alternatives, the main risks, the expected recovery and a written estimate.
- Come with your questions written down.
- Bring any previous reports or images relevant to the area.
- If you are comparing two surgeons, ask both the same questions, since the way each one answers is more informative than the answers themselves.
Risks You Should Ask About
Every surgery has risks, and you should ask which apply to your case.
- Risks common to all surgery include those from anaesthesia, bleeding, infection and delayed healing.
- Procedure-specific risks include scarring, uneven results and, in some cases, the need for a revision.
- Rhinoplasty changes gradually, and the final shape is not visible until the swelling has fully settled, which can take up to a year.
- Ask how often each risk occurs in the surgeon’s practice, and what happens if a revision is needed.
Before and After
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the best plastic surgeon in Delhi NCR?
No independent ranking exists, so “best” depends on the procedure you need and what you can verify: an M.Ch or DNB in Plastic Surgery, a registration number that checks out, results for your specific procedure, and a consultation in which the surgeon examines you and answers directly.
What should I check before choosing the best plastic surgeon in Delhi NCR?
Check the surgeon’s M.Ch/DNB qualification, medical registration, experience, procedure-specific results, before-and-after cases and consultation approach rather than relying only on online rankings.
