The Plastic Surgeons

Like many others, I had self-diagnosed myself with gynaecomastia without actually ever seeking a professional opinion. However, in a fortunate turn of events, I ended up landing at The Plastic Surgeons for an initial consultation with Dr. Jacob on a friend's recommendation. When I finally consulted Dr. Jacob, the experience was exceptional from start to finish. What stood out immediately was the time he dedicated to deeply understand my medical history in meticulous detail. Since I had developed specific comorbidities following COVID-19, he didn’t just rush into surgery; he carefully directed me to the right specialists first to ensure I was completely safe to proceed. Over and above his patient and considerate demeanour, Dr. Jacob even went out of his way to be mindful of my financial constraints. He genuinely listened to my concerns and graciously accommodated the procedure expenses within my budget, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. The post-op recovery has been smoother than I imagined, thanks to his constant guidance on post-op care and lymphatic massages. The real payoff, however, was my first workout after healing. Going for a run and feeling 'elevated'—without being conscious of a bouncing chest—was a feeling of absolute freedom. If you have been neglecting this surgery due to health or cost concerns, Dr. Jacob is the compassionate and skilled surgeon you need. If any of you would like to speak to me, you can ask for my details from Dr. Jacob, and I am sure I will be happy to speak to you. Lastly, thanking the entire team at The Plastic Surgeons including Abhishek and Ganeshji for making the entire experience a seamless one.

I’m a 37-year-old basketball coach, and I ended up with a bad nose fracture during practice while training my students. It was a scary moment, but once I met Dr. Vinay Jacob at Lilavati Hospital, everything became easy and stress-free. Dr. Jacob handled my injury with so much confidence and kindness that I immediately felt calmer. The treatment was done beautifully. Today my nose looks absolutely normal, like nothing ever happened. There was almost no pain, hardly any swelling, and the recovery was much smoother than I ever imagined. What I appreciated most was how friendly, warm, and welcoming Dr. Jacob was. He didn’t just treat my injury, he actually took time to talk to me about life, my work, and even gave me advice that has really made me think about my future. You don’t see many doctors taking that kind of personal interest these days, and it truly meant a lot. His team at Lilavati Hospital and at his Bandra clinic were just as supportive. Everyone guided me through every step and made the whole process comfortable. Having him attached to Lilavati and his clinic nearby made everything very convenient for us. As a sports coach, I know the value of getting back on my feet quickly, and this experience has been a real win. I’m genuinely grateful for the excellent care and the personal attention. Thank you, Dr. Jacob - you turned a difficult moment into something positive, and I’ll always remember that.

I am an MBBS student, and the tip of my right middle finger was amputated in an unfortunate accident. As a future doctor, hands are not just important—they are everything. Fine motor skills, precision, and tactile sensation form the foundation of our clinical and surgical abilities. At that moment, I felt anxious and uncertain about my future in medicine. Fortunately, I came under the care of Dr. Vinay Jacob, one of the finest plastic surgeons in the country. Without any delay, he carefully assessed my injury and immediately shifted me to the operation theatre. He performed a Venkataswami flap procedure with exceptional precision and expertise. I was extremely scared and unsure whether my finger would ever regain normal function. However, knowing that I was in the hands of such an experienced and compassionate surgeon gave me hope. Sir put in his utmost effort, reconstructed my finger in a well-defined and anatomically precise manner, and ensured that both structure and function were restored effectively. He monitored my recovery closely and kept me under careful observation throughout the healing period. Today, after one and a half months, I am truly grateful to say that my finger has healed remarkably well. It is functional, stable, and allows me to perform all my routine tasks just as before. It feels almost completely normal, both in movement and sensation. I will always remain thankful for the timely intervention, surgical excellence, and dedicated care provided by Dr. Vinay Jacob sir. His skill not only reconstructed my finger but also protected my confidence and my dream of becoming a competent doctor.

I had problem with the shape of my legs for many years. It looked very bad to me and it was always bothering me. I felt sad and confused and did not know what to do. I read Dr Vinay Jacob’s reviews on Google and decided to meet him with my parents. Doctor spoke to us very calmly and explained everything in a simple way. He was very kind and positive. He did not force any decision and gave proper guidance. Because of his caring nature and clear explanation, I felt comfortable to go ahead with the liposuction surgery. Now it is more than two weeks after the surgery and I am very happy that I did this. From planning, hospital stay, surgery, and after care, everything was smooth and well managed. Doctor and his team took very good care of me and helped remove all my fear and anxiety. I am happy with the result and feel more confident now. Thank you so much, doctor. I will surely recommend you to my family and friends and to anyone reading this review.

I am 24 years old and recently completed medical school. I was at the final stage of my weight loss journey,… a journey I had viewed both through the eyes of a doctor and as someone deeply determined to bring about a personal change. Through consistent diet and exercise, I managed to lose most of the weight. But the loose skin that remained was uncomfortable and, at times, disheartening. I was referred to Dr. Vinay Jacob for surgery, and from the very first consultation, I felt an immediate sense of confidence. Dr. Jacob didn’t just see a surgical concern—he saw me as a person. He listened with patience and understanding, taking into account my story, my goals, and my demanding new life as a young doctor. His calm and kind manner instantly put me at ease. He explained in detail why I required a combination of procedures which included a 360° liposuction, a tummy tuck, and hernia repair. His plan was logical, clear, and reassuringly precise. His depth of knowledge and steady confidence made it very easy to place my complete trust in him. The surgery itself was challenging, but the results were nothing short of perfect. The post-operative care was exceptional. I had prepared myself for a long, difficult recovery, but within just a month I was pain-free and could already see the transformation taking shape. The change has been truly life-altering. My body feels smoother, stronger, and the loose skin is gone. The scars are healing beautifully, and every day I see new evidence of Dr. Jacob’s remarkable craftsmanship. As a doctor myself, this experience has been a profound learning, both personally and professionally. Observing Dr. Jacob’s attention to detail, his calm precision, and his genuine empathy has inspired me in ways I will carry forward in my own medical career. It has taught me lessons that go far beyond textbooks,…. lessons in compassion, patience, and excellence. I must also mention the wonderful team of Abhishek, Ganesh, and Anisha,…. all of who work seamlessly together to make the entire experience warm and reassuring. There was immense handholding throughout. The clinic feels like a homely, comfortable space where I could speak openly, share my concerns, and feel completely understood. I was accompanied by my parents, who were initially apprehensive about the surgery. But after meeting Dr. Jacob and hearing him explain every aspect of my treatment plan, they were completely reassured. Their confidence in him matched my own, and they were very happy to proceed. For anyone who has undergone significant weight loss and is considering body contouring surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Vinay Jacob. His unwavering focus on safety, precision, and aesthetic excellence is truly exceptional, and the care and compassion of his team make the journey not only transformative but genuinely joyful. If any of you would like to speak to me, you can ask for my details from Dr Jacob, and I am sure I will be happy to speak to you.
