SafePlast-2025 Conference Begins in Hyderabad: Experts Stress Safety in Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeries

HYDERABAD AUG 9 (RNI) 1st Editon of Two-day SafePlast-2025 Conference kicked start at T-Hub in Hyderabad on Saturday.

Despite rapid advancements in technology and medical science, many people still hesitate when it comes to hair transplants, laser treatments, and facial cosmetic surgeries. 

The main reason is fear fear of what might go wrong. This fear is not baseless; in some cases, such treatments have led to infections and various complications. The mushrooming of fake doctors and the lack of proper skills among some practitioners are major causes, speakers noted.

To address how aesthetic treatments, cosmetic surgeries, and plastic surgeries can be performed with utmost safety, the two-day SafePlast-2025 conference began grandly at T-Hub in Hyderabad on Saturday. Over 120 plastic surgeons and dermatologists from across India participated, with some joining online from abroad. Twenty-five senior plastic surgeons from India and overseas shared insights on various topics t

o raise awareness.

Speaking at the event, renowned Dubai-based senior plastic surgeon Dr. Sanjay Parashar said:

“Plastic and aesthetic surgeries are highly complex. Even when we give 100% effort, results may not always be perfect, and unexpected complications can arise. It’s important to know how to address issues if they occur, and to identify the root cause.

Performing surgeries based only on book knowledge without proper training is wrong. Only after complete training can we treat patients safely.

Treatments done by plastic surgeons and dermatologists are different from other fields. Our goal should be to provide full satisfaction to patients seeking to enhance beauty or correct flaws—never to worsen their appearance.

Post-treatment infections are a risk, and preventing them is essential. Liposuction, cosmetic surgeries, facial corrections (like nose, chin, cheeks), and hair transplants are extremely delicate and must be handled with utmost care, prioritising patient safety.”

Dr. Gurukarna Vemula, Managing Director of Personix Cosmetics & Plastic Surgery Centre, said:

“Patients should first decide whom to approach for such treatments. They should check doctors’ profiles, websites, and registrations with state bodies like the Telangana Medical Council.

Verify degrees like MBBS, MD, MCh these are credible qualifications. Be cautious about fellowship titles like FISS without proper recognition.

Many problems arise when untrained practitioners perform such treatments. Some hair transplant patients develop scalp infections, Botox, fillers, and laser treatments can also have side effects. To avoid these, patients must choose the right doctor.

In India, training in aesthetic surgery still needs improvement.

We must increase training programs and ensure Botox, fillers, lasers, and hair transplants are performed with the highest safety.

Plastic surgery is not just about beauty—it can save lives in many cases. The insights shared here by senior experts from India and abroad are not found in textbooks; they come from years of experience. Learning from them will help plastic surgeons and dermatologists excel in their careers.”
