Dr Debraj Shome, co-founder and director of The Esthetic Clinics, shares a personal connection with the city’s growth story. “Hyderabad has a special place in my heart — my career started here in 2009. Back then, when we set up a top-class aesthetic surgery centre in Jubilee Hills, the city was just beginning to explore cosmetic treatments. Today, Hyderabad is firmly establishing itself as a hub for cosmetic and dermatology procedures, reflecting its commitment to clinical excellence, innovation, and patient-centred care.”
He adds, “Beyond procedural expertise, the city emphasises holistic patient experiences — prioritising safety, personalisation, and long-term outcomes. The medical tourism boom here isn’t surprising when you consider what patients receive. International clients access treatments comparable to those in Singapore or Dubai, but at a fraction of the cost. Plus, Hyderabad’s excellent connectivity allows patients to fly in easily, undergo procedures, and recover comfortably.”
Dr Debraj notes that patient expectations have also evolved significantly: “They want detailed consultations, ask informed questions about techniques and outcomes, and expect comprehensive aftercare. Practitioners can no longer rely on cookie-cutter approaches — everything must be tailored and transparent. The result is that Hyderabad is now competing with established aesthetic medicine centres globally.”
As the city continues to blend clinical expertise with innovation and a strong patient-first approach, Hyderabad is poised to solidify its position as one of the leading destinations for cosmetic and aesthetic procedures in the world.
