How It Works

How Does a Consultation With Us Work?

The #1 reason people don't book is they don't know what they're walking into. So we tell them. You can book online, by phone, or on WhatsApp. Here's what happens after that.

1

The Consultation (10–15 minutes)

You sit with Dr Pratap Duggirala. You explain what's bothering you. He examines, asks questions, and — importantly — he tells you honestly whether surgery is the right answer. If it isn't, he'll tell you that.

2

A Written Plan

If surgery makes sense, you get a clear written plan: what's involved, what's realistic, what could go wrong, recovery time, and an all-inclusive cost.

3

Time to Think

We don't rush patients into booking on the same day. Go home. Talk to your family. Come back with more questions. We'll answer them.

4

The Surgery

Dr Pratap Duggirala operates personally. You stay in our hospital for as long as needed. You meet him every day during recovery.

5

Follow-Up

Follow-ups are part of the package. We see you at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months — more if needed. Healing well is half the surgery.

Dr Pratap Duggirala

Plastic, Reconstructive & Burn Surgeon · Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh

Dr Pratap Duggirala didn't get into plastic surgery for its cosmetic side. He got in because, as a young surgeon training in government hospitals, he watched burns patients leave the wards with scars that quietly ruined their lives — not just their skin, but their marriages, their jobs, their place at the dinner table. He saw cleft lip children grow up being stared at. He saw accident survivors abandon careers because their hands never worked the same again.

That was the work he wanted to do. The cosmetic side came later — and it carries the same standard. Whether you're here for a rhinoplasty or for a free reconstructive surgery through the Burn Healing Foundation, you get the same surgeon, the same time, the same care. That isn't a marketing line. It's how the hospital was built.

Honest Answers

The Questions Patients Don't Ask Out Loud

If you're reading this, you probably have one of these questions. We've been doing this long enough to know the questions people don't ask out loud. So we'll answer them up front.

Will I look natural, or will it be obvious if I had surgery done?
The whole point of good plastic surgery is that no one should be able to tell. Every procedure at Pratap Hospital, Vijayawada, is planned around your face, your body, your proportions — not a one-size template. If a surgery won't give you a natural result, we'll tell you that before you book.
Is surgery safe? What if something goes wrong?
Pratap Hospital is a full surgical hospital. We have dedicated operating suites, a Burns ICU, and trained anaesthesia and recovery teams. Dr Pratap Duggirala personally performs every surgery.
Can I afford surgery? Will the price keep changing for me?
You'll get a single, written quote after your consultation. It includes the surgeon's fee, anaesthesia, OT, room, and follow-ups. We don't add charges later. If a procedure isn't right for you, we'll say so even if it means losing the booking.
Do I really need surgery, or is there a non-surgical option?
For a lot of concerns — early ageing, mild scars, small fat pockets — surgery isn't the first answer. We'll tell you when a treatment, injection, or simply waiting is the better call.
How much pain will there be during and after surgery?
During surgery, none — you'll be under anaesthesia. After surgery, there will be slight discomfort. We manage it with medication for the first 3–5 days, and most people stop needing painkillers within a week. If anyone tells you a surgery is “completely painless,” they're selling, not telling.
Can I see before-and-after photos of real patients?
Yes — in person, during your consultation. We don't display before-and-after photos publicly on the website out of respect for our patients' privacy. We'll show you results from patients with concerns similar to yours when you visit. We also ask every patient for written permission before using any photo, and we never share without it.
