The consultation is the most important step in the blepharoplasty journey. It is where the right technique is matched to the patient’s anatomy, where the cost is locked in, where any concerns are addressed in detail, and where patient and surgeon decide together whether and how to proceed. It is conducted by Dr. Dhruv Chavan personally, not delegated to a counsellor.

What happens during a blepharoplasty consultation?

A blepharoplasty consultation with Dr. Dhruv Chavan covers five elements: examination of the eyelids and surrounding tissues, assessment of candidacy based on health history and goals, discussion of which technique is appropriate, presentation of cost and EMI options, and answering all patient questions. Most consultations last 15 to 20 minutes. A written quote is provided before the patient leaves.

Who is Dr. Dhruv Chavan?

Dr. Dhruv Chavan, M.Ch. Plastic Surgery

Founder & Lead Surgeon, Dr DC Plastic Surgery, Pune

Dr. Dhruv Chavan is the founder of Dr DC Plastic Surgery in Pune and the lead surgeon for all blepharoplasty procedures at the clinic. He has performed more than 500 blepharoplasty procedures with a 95 to 98% patient satisfaction rate. His training includes international observership at Faces+ Centre, San Diego, USA under Dr. Steven Cohen, with focused exposure to peri-orbital rejuvenation, fat grafting, and natural-result facial aesthetics. For complex ptosis or oculoplastic cases, Dr. Dhruv Chavan can involve an oculoplastic specialist as needed.

The blepharoplasty-specific credentials matter because eyelid surgery is a technically distinct branch of plastic surgery, with its own techniques, anatomical considerations, and result patterns. The 500+ procedure threshold places blepharoplasty firmly within Dr. Dhruv Chavan’s regular practice rather than as an occasional add-on procedure.

The Faces+ Centre observership in San Diego, USA specifically shaped Dr. Dhruv Chavan’s peri-orbital surgery approach, concentrating on natural-result aesthetics as they apply to blepharoplasty, fat grafting around the eye, and the broader peri-orbital rejuvenation toolkit.

Patients can attend follow-up visits at any of the six locations, regardless of where the initial consultation was held or where the surgery was performed. This flexibility is particularly useful in the recovery window.

Can international patients book a blepharoplasty consultation?

International patients regularly travel to Pune for blepharoplasty with Dr. Dhruv Chavan, including patients from Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. The standard process begins with a video consultation (₹1,000), during which Dr. Dhruv Chavan reviews submitted photographs, assesses candidacy, discusses the planned approach, and provides a written quote. Surgery is scheduled with sufficient lead time for travel, with the in-person examination and surgery typically falling within the same week-long trip.

The international patient pathway is structured around minimising travel: one trip for surgery, with the in-person examination on the day before or the morning of surgery, followed by a stay of 10 to 14 days for the initial recovery and early follow-up before flying home. Subsequent follow-ups can be conducted by video if the patient cannot travel back to Pune.

International patients should plan for: a video consultation 4 to 8 weeks before the planned surgery date, travel and accommodation arrangements (Pune connects through Mumbai and Delhi), the surgery and 10 to 14 days of recovery in Pune, and any combined procedures planned for the same visit.

How soon can I schedule surgery after the consultation?

Surgery is typically scheduled 2 to 6 weeks after the consultation, depending on patient preference and any required preparation. Patients who are ready to proceed can book the next available surgery date during the consultation. Patients who need time to consider, complete the 4-week smoking cessation, or coordinate other procedures will schedule for a later date.

For international patients and those travelling from outside Pune, surgery is scheduled with sufficient lead time to coordinate travel and accommodation.
