Once I was going through all the sites giving information on Hair Transplant Surgery and I found Dr. Sameer's Website which was very informational one (http://www.cosmeticsurgery-india.info/index.html). After reading the information I wrote an e-mail to the Doctor and when I was satisfied with the prompt reply I arranged an appointment with Doctor and his Super Specialty Hospital at Thane.
I had a problem of intense hair fall and thinning of the hair since last several years. Before visiting Dr. Sameer Karkhanis, I took all types of medicines/treatment (Ayurvedic/ Homeopathic etc.) from many doctors but I could find little or no result at all.
Dr. Sameer listened to me carefully, cleared all my doubts and prescribed me Cyclical Medicine. Within two weeks the hair fall stopped and after 30 days I could notice new hair growth on the vertex as well as on the forehead. After 3 months the difference was visible to all and many of my friends too visited Doctor for the same treatment and all of them are satisfied. I have regained nearly 80% of the hair I had lost and I am still continuing the medicine without any significant side effect. I had dropped the Idea of hair transplant surgery as I have grown enough hair on my head.
I appreciate the patience, integrity and knowledge of the Dr. Sameer. He is always available for his patients. He is totally dedicated and best doctor I had come across. His Super Specialty Hospital is very well equipped, very hygienic, and very comfortable and overall he has a very good staff there.

As the general experience goes, a good (personable, warm and of course knowledgeable) Doctor is half the respite and cure for the patient. Dr. Sameer embodifies these qualities when it comes to interacting with his patients. And this is my own observation. He is well versed with his core expertise and does a clean job of what he sets out to. Adept at his work, he brings to the table a good team of staff and co-doctors who really puts the patient at ease. I say all this with conviction as I have myself witnessed a very neatly performed hair transplant and what a difference it has brought about in the patient's look and self confidence. Aside to his professional skills and knowledge, I'll take the liberty of stating a little trivia about Dr. Sameer - that he has a fairly exhaustive collection of flicks and tracks and loves discussing this subject. Like most humans, he also adores good cuisine. To more of his tribe. Amen!

We came to Mumbai in December 2007 for a family wedding. My wife over the years had put some weight but her main problem was her sagging stomach or lower abdominal area. It was 25th Dec and we had some old family friends come to see us as we live in New Zealand and were there on a holiday. Having seen my wife they recommended that we see Dr. Sameer. Being Christmas time we thought it would be impossible to see any Doctor soon as is the case here in NZ. However Dr. Sameer was visiting his family in Chembur where we lived and offered to us immediately which took us by surprise. Having seen her on 25th night the whole process started off and she was back in NZ after 4 weeks flying for over 18 hours.
Dr. Sameer is a great surgeon and person. I am proud that we have such talented Indian doctors. His personality made us all very comfortable to take this step to do this major surgery which was unplanned for. I would highly recommend Dr. Sameer to anyone wanting to undergo cosmetic surgery and having second thoughts. He gave us the best we could expect from any part of the world.

"My Introduction with Dr. Sameer was Google Search & had fear for high budget for re-constructive surgery & my experience was 100% inverse to my assumption. Today, I have got best doctor/family member & life time consultant for any matter or case. Thanking him for all profession and personal support in terms of budget & relations."

- Krishna Singh, Manager, Diebold Systems Pvt Ltd

"Dr. Sameer is not just an exemplary surgeon but a great ambassador for the medical fraternity. Very high on Integrity, which is evident from the way he has put forth his website - a trait which is normally found wanting by many in his trade.
Dr. Sameer has a charming personality which can ease a patient's anxiety and make him feel relaxed even before a major surgery (I was recently operated by him). His excellent communication skills are another big plus in the post surgical rehabilitation process.
I would like to recommend Dr Sameer for all those who would like to clear their fears and concerns about cosmetic surgery.

"Dr. Sameer is Par Excellence in his profession; he is one of the finest cosmetic surgeons in our organization. The clients always have very high words of praises for his work, very result oriented.

I can go on and on but in short he is the best, professionally as well as a human being he is very good.

"I am delighted to write this testimonial. After extensive research and seeing many doctors (prior to my consult with Dr. Sameer Karkhanis), I had almost given up the idea of going through liposuction.
When I met Dr. Sameer Karkhanis for a consult, I knew he was the right doctor. He is kind and truthful. He explained the whole procedure and outcome to expect very honestly and patiently. The results after the surgery exceed my high expectations. In fact, it took him three and half hours to achieve what I have been trying for a very long time. Postoperative care was flawless. Dr. Sameer Karkhanis is sincerely caring; you just know you have made the right choice when things go smoothly post operation as well.
Dr. Sameer Karkhanis is a brilliant surgeon, a visual genius and the best in his field. I have no hesitation in recommending him to all."

"One is always in self-doubts and reasonable fear when decides to undertake surgery and it's ten times more if it's a cosmetic surgery. But the moment I met Dr. Sameer, my nagging concerns vanished because of his quiet confidence (and afterwards, as I found out his abilities). That's not all; his staff is just as good and caring. Still remember the comforting words of the head nurse Mrs. Saldanha. I did chin implant surgery and abdominoplasty. The results were satisfactory, even fulfilling my high expectations. Given a chance, I'll do it again. Thank you, Dr. Sameer."

- Arjun Mukherjee, Kolkatta

"I've had liposuction done on my abdomen and love Handles. The operation itself was quick and painless since I chose general anaesthesia. Post operation once the painkillers wore off there was mild cramping pain and stiffness in my muscles. The control garment though comfortable causes considerable itching due to Bombay weather hence I chose to stay home in air-conditioning until I'd healed totally. it also made handling the fluid leakage for 2-3 days easier to handle. I heard a lot of people go back to work but in the end it is trauma to your body, a bit of rest never harms anyone. The entire process was made very comfortable and easy with Dr Sameer and his team. He has a fabulous bed side manner and with precise post op instructions and regular clinic visits I sailed through the recovery period. Thank you Dr!!"

- SR, Mumbai

"Looking good is a desire that most of us have no matter what age. Turning it into a reality is Dr Sameer Karkhanis's forte. Having dealt with him I found myself at ease and was convinced that he was the surgeon who would make my vision a reality. He patiently answered all my queries, no matter how ridiculous and never pushed me to making a decision. While I had others tell me that mine was a day's job, he honestly told me that for my comfort and recovery it would be a little longer stay at his clinic. The staff follows his easy demeanor and are very helpful and professional. My experience was a very good one and I would highly recommend Dr Karkhanis."

"Hi! I had my Vaser Liposuction done from my back, love handles, and abdominal area 5 weeks ago. I'm aged 43: 174cm and 152Lbs.
Here's my story:
For the past 20 years I've constantly been sick of dieting and vigorous exercise. I've been on Broccoli and carrots for ages ?, Which later, I've learnt is and was a total waste of time. Anyways, I had diet and exercise-resistant fat, pouches of fat on my back and tires of fat on my tummy. I had decided to go for Vaser Lipo for almost a year and carried immense research through the internet and actually my Doctor was really good and beyond what I had in mind. But yes, my experience, so far, was good!
On the 9th of July 2011, I got It done through General Aesthesia. Was I excited or what?! But has I drew closer to the operation theatre I kept feeling I was going to die! But turned out: As soon as I got back to my senses, awkwardly, I honestly felt absolutely normal! It was as if I had undergone no surgery. Perhaps that was because I had no anaesthesia issues and most of all I was on pain-killer drips. But that's when I was all wrong . . .
The next morning I felt as If I'd been hit by a truck on all the treated areas. There was bruising and swelling all over my back and abdominal flanks. I was in hospital bedroom with a wonderful team of nurses and my doctor who were extremely caring and hospitable. They were all the time worried about my well-being and If I had any throw up-like sensations, of which I had none.
So, I spent two more days In the hospital before I was discharged with 2 Compression-garments and 3 body tightening wraps (belts). I also had a post.Op a week after, where my doctor massaged out all the occupying Lymphatic fluid.
Till today, I have not been the exercise-maniac I used to be but more diet conscious after Lipo. I tried brisk walking but that just made it worse! Occasionally, I do get alot of itching and swelling but as I learnt that's only a sign of healing. Slight numbness and pain (upon pressing) over the treated areas, still persists most on the shoulder flanks.
Gosh, Five weeks over! I am so used to the belts, that compression garment seems to be ineffective, although I just take the compression garment out while showering. But pull it back on immediately after removing. Im strapped all over but Isn't It "over-compression?" I love the new body shape; So far! I hope the final result will be better . . .
Will keep more updates! Hope my contours get more defined!"

Updated on 11 Sep 2011:
9 weeks later I can feel and see major changes in the mid section of my body, hoping for more improvement though.
I can highly commend my doc, his clinic and staff!!!!

"Hi all, i got a tummy tuck done on the 4th june 2011, after researching again and again thru net , articles and visiting various doctors, my search eneded at CCRS, the centre for cosmetics and reconstructive surgery , in thane mumbai headed by Dr Sameer karkhanis. This is the only centre totally dedicated to cosmetics surgery in the entire country (India ) and will super speciality facilities .
I underwent a complete body vaser and a TT . post 5 days of my operation it was hard to believe that its still me. my sagging post delivery tummy had vanished like magic, i had no pain , no discomfort and was totally mobile . Yes the vaser bruises and pain continued till about 2 weeks but was simple with the compression garments along with pain killers . post 5 weeks of my operation , i almost did away with my sagging tummy , thunder thighs , gigantic arms , and an ugly back . Results are magical and they are long to stay .
Very affordable , trusted and highly efficient clinic with best surgeons and a friendly supportive staff is a surprise.
I hardly diet and exercise now , and i am still loose inches . I lost almost 8 inches in total around my waist , 7 inches total around my thighs and butts , 5 inches in total from my arms and now my body says "WOW".
Check my pre and post pics for a complete look."

Updated on 13 Sep 2011:
I always thought that i cud do with just a good lipo , but after my consultation with Dr Sameer , he explained me that my internal ab muscles have become loose after my two deliveries , if i only opt for lipo, it will not correct the sagging of the muscles, thus i need a TT for sure . I was so convinced when explained medically , that it didnt even take me a day to get operated.
Now my tummy is as tight as a 16 yr old and i already have 4 abs showing off without 100 cruches , the stitches are so well done , that they are completely covered within the bikini line .
The entire procedure of TT looked really painful in the beginning, but Post op when i looked myself in the mirror after 2 days , i cudnt believe it. The pain was nowhere to be felt and the tummy had an awesome feel :)

My rating:
Very well qualified surgeon heading an excellent centre with the best modern equipments and the most friendly staff ever. Great value for money. Highly polite and honest doctor, will not suggest a treatment unless really needed.
