Walk in, walk out – aesthetic procedures performed by Dr Rajesh Vasu, an AIIMS-trained plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience. Most procedures take under 90 minutes, with no overnight hospital stay required.
Day care procedures are aesthetic and minor surgical treatments that are completed in a single visit, with no overnight stay required. You walk into the clinic, the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia or mild sedation, and you go home the same day, often within a few hours.
These procedures are designed for patients who want visible improvements without the time commitment, recovery period, or hospitalisation associated with major surgery. Most day care procedures at our practice take between 30 minutes and 2 hours.
Day care procedures are ideal for:
The key difference from full surgery: day care procedures use local anaesthesia, smaller incisions or no incisions at all, and have minimal to no downtime. You return to work the same day or within 24-48 hours, depending on the procedure.

| Step | What Happens | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Pre-procedure consult | Final review with Dr. Vasu, photos, and consent. Any pre-procedure prep. | 15–20 min |
| 2. The procedure | Performed under local anaesthesia or mild sedation. You're awake, comfortable, and informed throughout. | 30–90 min |
| 3. Recovery | Brief monitored rest in our recovery area. Light refreshments, post-procedure instructions. | 30–60 min |
| 4. Discharge | You go home the same day. Most patients drive themselves; for some procedures we recommend a companion. | Same day |
Yes , when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon in an accredited clinical setting. Day care procedures use local anaesthesia, smaller incisions, and have lower complication rates than major surgery. Dr. Vasu performs every day care procedure personally, with full surgical-grade safety protocols including sterile environment, monitored anaesthesia, and post-procedure follow-up.
For most day care procedures, no. Treatments like Botox, fillers, HydraFacial, laser hair removal, and PRP allow you to return to work the same day. Procedures with mild downtime like Fractional CO2 Laser, Morpheus8, or thread lift all,typically require 1-3 days off. Surgical day care procedures like lipoma excision or scar revision may need 2-7 days depending on location.
Day care procedures are completed in a single visit with no overnight hospital stay. They use local anaesthesia (you’re awake), have smaller or no incisions, and recovery is measured in days rather than weeks. Full surgery typically involves general anaesthesia, an overnight stay, and recovery measured in weeks to months.
Most day care procedures use local anaesthesia, which numbs only the treatment area while you remain awake and comfortable. Some procedures use topical numbing cream (lasers, fillers), and a few may use mild oral sedation. General anaesthesia is not required for any day care procedure.
Yes, when the goal of treatment is enhancement, not transformation. Dr. Vasu’s philosophy is to enhance what’s already there, not to change who you are. Day care procedures are particularly suited for natural-looking refinement because they work with smaller adjustments rather than dramatic changes. Individual results vary based on age, skin type, and the specific procedure.
Cost varies by procedure, complexity, and product used (for example, the brand of filler or laser sessions required). Pricing is discussed transparently during your consultation, with a written treatment plan provided before any procedure is scheduled. We don’t believe in hidden costs.
Absolutely. A significant portion of our day care patients are men, particularly for treatments like laser hair reduction, scar revision, hair restoration with PRP/GFC, Morpheus8, and Botox. All consultations are private and judgment-free.
Book a consultation with Dr. Vasu, in person at our clinic in Hyderabad or online via video. He’ll assess your concern, discuss realistic options, and recommend the procedure (or combination) that suits your goals, lifestyle, and recovery preferences. There is no obligation to proceed after consultation.
Dr. Vasu practices at Evoluer Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery (Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills) and Continental Hospitals (Gachibowli), all in Hyderabad. Day care procedures can be performed at any of these locations based on the procedure and your preference.
Yes. We offer secure video consultations for patients in other Indian cities and abroad. This is especially useful for the initial assessment and treatment planning. The procedure itself is performed in person at our Hyderabad clinic, with travel and accommodation guidance provided for outstation patients.
The setting matters. So does the surgeon.
Many of the procedures listed above are also offered at clinics, and walk-in aesthetic centres across the city. So why have them performed in a hospital, by a board-certified plastic surgeon? Because what looks like a small procedure on a brochure is still a medical procedure on your body and the safety, sterility, and skill behind it determine the result you live with for years.
Apollo Hospital brings the institutional infrastructure that aesthetic clinics simply cannot match: internationally accredited surgical theatres, hospital-grade sterilisation, on-site anaesthesiology, and a complete multidisciplinary medical team. For a 30-minute procedure, this level of clinical setup might sound excessive. It isn’t. The institutional safety net is rarely needed and when it is, it is the reason your day care procedure stays a day care procedure.
Every face, body, and concern is different. Book a consultation with Dr. Vasu to get a personalised assessment and a clear, transparent treatment plan with no obligation to proceed.
