Your safety isn’t a checklist—it’s a commitment.
At Tara Healthcare, Bangalore’s leading hospital for plastic surgery, we take every possible step to ensure that your experience is not only transformative but also medically safe and ethically sound.
Whether you’re undergoing rhinoplasty, liposuction, breast surgery, or body contouring, safety forms the foundation of every procedure performed by Dr. Karan Shetty, a board-certified plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgeon with over 10 years of experience.
Why Patient Safety Is Crucial in Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery is often elective—but that doesn’t make it risk-free. From anesthesia to post-operative recovery, multiple factors must be carefully managed to prevent complications. Common concerns include:
- Infection and bleeding
- Scarring and delayed healing
- Anesthesia-related risks
- Poor aesthetic outcomes due to rushed or cookie-cutter approaches
At Tara Healthcare, we integrate evidence-based protocols, global safety standards, and personalized surgical planning to ensure the safest possible outcomes for our patients in Bangalore and beyond.
1. Comprehensive Pre-Surgical Assessment
Safety begins well before the operating table. Every patient at Tara Healthcare undergoes a detailed preoperative evaluation, including:
- Personal and family medical history
- Allergies and current medications
- Blood tests and ECG (if required)
- Imaging or scans (for body or facial procedures)
- Psychological preparedness, especially for aesthetic goals
This enables Dr. Karan Shetty to fully assess your risk profile and design a surgical plan that minimizes complications.
2. Only Board-Certified Surgeons Perform Surgery
Your surgery will never be delegated or rushed. All procedures are performed by Dr. Karan Shetty, a board-certified plastic surgeon who has trained in Germany, Japan, and Spain, and holds memberships in IAAPS, ISAPS, and KAPRAS.
This ensures that you’re in the hands of someone:
- Legally certified and ethically trained
- Highly skilled in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery
- Capable of handling emergency or complex cases with confidence
3. NABH-Compliant Surgical Facilities
Tara Healthcare’s operating rooms are NABH-compliant, featuring:
- HEPA-filtered laminar airflow systems to reduce infection
- Advanced anesthesia and emergency resuscitation setups
- Continuous intraoperative monitoring
- International-grade sterilization protocols
Only FDA- and CE-approved implants, sutures, and equipment are used—ensuring that quality is never compromised.
4. Customized, Patient-Centric Surgical Planning
There is no one-size-fits-all in plastic surgery. Whether it’s a mommy makeover, facial fat grafting, or gynecomastia correction, your plan is tailor-made based on:
- Your aesthetic goals
- Your anatomical structure
- Your medical history and lifestyle
- Realistic outcome expectations
Dr. Karan Shetty believes safety is linked to personalization—rushed or templated surgeries increase risks and compromise outcomes.
5. Experienced Anesthesiology and Post-Op Team
A senior anesthesiologist is present throughout every procedure, with continuous monitoring of:
- Heart rate and rhythm
- Blood pressure and oxygen levels
- Temperature and fluid balance
Post-surgery, patients are moved to a dedicated recovery room where vitals are tracked. We maintain a low nurse-to-patient ratio to ensure you receive attentive care.
6. Transparent Communication and Informed Consent
Before your procedure, we ensure you fully understand:
- The procedure and alternatives
- Potential risks and complications
- Recovery timeline and downtime
- Long-term results and maintenance
Our informed consent process is detailed, visual, and interactive, empowering you to make confident, educated decisions.
7. Recovery and Aftercare Are Closely Supervised
Our job doesn’t end after surgery. At Tara Healthcare, we monitor your recovery through:
- Timely dressing changes and wound care
- Nutrition and scar management guidance
- Ongoing follow-up appointments
- Early intervention if healing deviates from expectations
Additional Safety Measures at Tara Healthcare
- No double-booked surgeries: Only one surgery at a time per surgeon.
- Routine equipment calibration and maintenance
- Backup power, oxygen, and ventilator systems
- Staff training in CPR and emergency protocols
- Emergency hospital tie-ups for referrals, if needed
