Before surgeryCompanion
A liposuction trip for people living in Indian metro cities. It combines surgery at Medlounges, a registered multi-specialty hospital in Thiruvalla, Kerala, with airport pickup from Kochi, a short backwater outing before surgery, a recovery stay of up to 5 nights and the drop back to the airport. Chin liposuction packages start at ₹95,000 + GST from Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune, and ₹1,10,000 + GST from Mumbai and Delhi NCR. A chin liposuction trip takes 3–4 days in Kerala; body areas take about a week, and larger procedures longer.
Most people go back to emails, traffic and family duties the day after a procedure in their own city. Here you have a few quiet days with nothing to do except rest, walk and heal, with the surgical team 10 minutes away.
“I live in Mangalore, Karnataka with my family and I have to come all alone to Tiruvalla, Kerala for this procedure… From my arrival till my discharge Nurses in this centre made me feel like home.”
“I have looked for hospitals in Bangalore & Hyderabad for my procedure from couple of months… So travelled from Bangalore to Thiruvalla and done the procedure successfully.”
“I had liposuction in tummy, flank and arms… They were also kind enough to allow me stay extra days to feel comfortable.”
“Getting leave from company was a challenge, somehow I managed, took next flight and I flew, direct to hospital… that was a pocket friendly treatment, rooms, food, etc are awesome.”
“I planned my tummy surgery with liposuction 360° before 8 months from UAE just by trusting them in videocall!!”
“Now, six months later, I’m absolutely delighted with the results. I feel more confident and comfortable in my own body than ever before.”

Thiruvalla sits between the Pampa river and Kuttanad, Kerala’s below-sea-level rice bowl. Drive times are typical, not traffic-free.
Munnar and Thekkady need an overnight stay and long, winding drives. Plan them before surgery. After surgery, only your companion should go.
The Parthasarathy temple on the Pampa, and workshops making the GI-tagged Aranmula metal mirror. A short, easy outing.
A quiet fishing-village beach. Good for a companion’s day out; no swimming for patients until your surgeon says so.
Swimming or wading in the lake, sea or pools; Ayurvedic steam or sauna; full-day houseboat trips in the midday heat; long walks and temple steps; car rides over 1.5 hours without breaks.
Short walks, a shaded early-morning boat ride, a quiet lakeside afternoon, and a short Aranmula visit without the river steps.
Kochi (COK) is our default airport, about 2.5–3 hours from Thiruvalla by car. Thiruvananthapuram (TRV) is a similar drive. From Bengaluru and Chennai you can also take an overnight train straight to Thiruvalla station.

Dry days, calm water and the best birdwatching. Kerala stays above 30°C all year, so your compression garment will feel warm. Your room and transfers are air-conditioned, and outings are planned for early morning or late afternoon.
A chin liposuction trip usually takes 3–4 days in Kerala in all. For a single body area, most people fly 3–4 days after the procedure. Either way, you fly only once the surgeon clears you at the fit-to-fly review. Several areas take longer, and abdominoplasty or a mommy makeover needs 2–3 weeks. We never fix the date in advance.
You enjoy it more when you are fit, and long days on the water in the heat are not good for fresh incisions. After surgery we keep outings short, shaded and approved by your surgeon.
Our surgery prices sit at the lower-to-middle end of metro prices. Published metro prices for chin liposuction run from about ₹40,000 to ₹1,20,000. The difference is that our package also covers your flight allowance, stay, transfers and follow-up.
