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.

1. Welcome and history (3-5 min)
Medical history, goals, concerns, and any photos or aesthetic references you bring.
2. Examination (3-5 min)

Who is Dr. Dhruv Chavan?
Dr. Dhruv Chavan, M.Ch. Plastic Surgery
Founder & Lead Surgeon, Dr DC Plastic Surgery, Pune
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.
Ready to book your consultation?
By phone, WhatsApp, or the online enquiry form.
Where are the Dr DC clinic locations in Pune?
Select a location to see what is available there. Most patients consult at the clinic nearest their home or workplace, which is often not the same as the surgical facility at Pimple Saudagar.
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?
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.

Is the consultation confidential?

Yes. Patients are welcome to bring a partner, family member, or friend. Many patients find it helpful to have a second person present, particularly for the technique discussion and cost conversation.
