This Website Does Not Provide Medical Advice

All content published on this website — including text, graphics, procedure descriptions, recovery timelines, FAQ sections, blog articles, videos, and patient education materials — is intended solely for general informational and educational purposes.

None of the content on this website is intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, clinical diagnosis, or treatment by a licensed and qualified physician. The information provided here should not be used to self-diagnose a medical condition or as the sole basis for deciding whether to undergo any surgical or non-surgical procedure.

Individual Results Vary

Any outcomes, results, recovery timelines, or improvements described or depicted on this website — including in procedure descriptions, patient testimonials, and before & after images — reflect the experience of specific individuals under specific circumstances.

Surgical and aesthetic outcomes are inherently individual. Results depend on a wide range of patient-specific factors including:

• Age, skin quality, and baseline anatomy
• Overall health status and medical history
• Adherence to pre-operative and post-operative instructions
• Healing capacity and individual biological response
• Lifestyle factors including smoking, diet, and physical activity
• Extent of the procedure and the clinical complexity of the case

No representation is made, and none should be inferred, that any patient will achieve results identical or similar to those shown or described. During your personal consultation, Dr. Pawan Shahane will provide you with an honest, individualised assessment of what is realistically achievable in your specific case.

No Doctor–Patient Relationship is Created Online

Browsing this website, submitting a contact form, sending a WhatsApp message, or communicating via email does not constitute or establish a doctor–patient relationship between you and Dr. Pawan Shahane or Mayflower Clinic.

A formal doctor–patient relationship is established only when:

• You attend an in-person clinical consultation at Mayflower Clinic
• Dr. Pawan Shahane personally evaluates your medical history and condition
• A formal treatment plan and informed consent process is completed

Any information you share via online enquiry channels before an in-person consultation is handled with confidentiality, but does not constitute the basis for a clinical diagnosis or treatment recommendation.

Before & After Images

Where before and after photographs of surgical or non-surgical procedures are displayed on this website or our social media profiles, the following conditions apply:

• All patient photographs are published only with the patient's explicit written informed consent
• Images depict real patients of Mayflower Clinic and are not digitally altered, stock images, or composites
• Results shown are specific to those individual patients and do not represent a guaranteed or typical outcome
• Photographs are taken under controlled clinical lighting conditions and may not reflect everyday appearance
• The timing of post-operative photographs varies per patient; full and final results may continue to develop for 12–18 months after surgery

Surgical Risks & Complications

All surgical and invasive medical procedures carry inherent risks. The descriptions of procedures on this website are intended to be informative but are not exhaustive accounts of every possible risk, complication, or adverse outcome.

General risks associated with surgical procedures include, but are not limited to:

• Reactions to anaesthesia
• Post-operative infection
• Bleeding, haematoma, or seroma formation
• Delayed wound healing or wound dehiscence
• Scarring, including hypertrophic or keloid scarring
• Temporary or permanent changes in sensation
• Asymmetry or results that require revision
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (rare)

A comprehensive, procedure-specific risk and complication discussion is a mandatory part of the informed consent process at Mayflower Clinic. This is conducted in person by Dr. Pawan Shahane before any procedure is scheduled. Do not proceed with any surgery without a thorough in-person consultation and formal informed consent.

The following important qualifications apply:
