Medical Disclaimer

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

Procedure descriptions and educational illustrations explain possible outcomes and recovery. Patient photographs and testimonials show individual examples; none predict your own result.

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.

Website Enquiries and Clinical Care

Browsing or sending a routine appointment enquiry alone does not establish a clinical consultation. A doctor's professional responsibilities arise when clinical care is undertaken; this disclaimer does not exclude duties arising from an actual consultation, including an appropriate teleconsultation.

Clinical care may involve:

• An appropriate consultation with a qualified clinician
• Dr. Pawan Shahane personally evaluates your medical history and condition
• Discussion of assessment, options and consent appropriate to the care being provided

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:

• Patient photographs require documented permission for their intended publication. Consent to treatment does not by itself authorise website, social-media or marketing use
• Clinical before-and-after photographs must be genuine patient images, used within the scope of consent and not altered to exaggerate outcomes. Educational illustrations are not evidence of a patient's treatment result
• Results shown are specific to those individual patients and do not represent a guaranteed or typical outcome
• Lighting, camera distance, posture and the time since treatment can affect appearance; a photograph may not reflect everyday appearance
• Timing and recovery vary by procedure and patient. Ask when a photograph was taken and whether healing was complete

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.

Accuracy of Content

We make reasonable efforts to ensure the information published on this website is accurate, current, and consistent with accepted medical practice at the time of publication. However:

• Medical knowledge and best practices evolve continuously; content may not always reflect the most recent clinical guidelines
• Procedure techniques, technology platforms, and recovery protocols described may have been updated since publication
• Information about pricing, availability, and specific service offerings is subject to change without notice
• Links to external resources are provided for reference only; we do not endorse or control the accuracy of third-party content

For the most current and accurate information about any procedure or service, contact the clinic directly or schedule a consultation with Dr. Pawan Shahane.

Medical Emergencies

For post-operative concerns, follow your discharge instructions and contact the treating team using the numbers provided. If symptoms are severe or rapidly worsening, seek immediate emergency care and do not delay while waiting for a clinic reply.

If you experience any of the following after a procedure, seek emergency care immediately:

• Severe or sudden chest pain or difficulty breathing
• Signs of severe allergic reaction (facial swelling, hives, throat tightening)
• Uncontrolled bleeding at the operative site
• High fever (above 101°F / 38.3°C) with redness, warmth, or discharge at the wound site
• Sudden significant swelling, pain, or warmth in a limb (possible DVT)

Patient Testimonials & Reviews

Patient testimonials and reviews describe individual experiences. Source labels distinguish public-platform feedback from previously published clinic testimonials. For questions about a source or use of your feedback, contact the clinic.

The following important qualifications apply:

• Testimonials describe individual experiences; they are not proof of effectiveness or a promise of the same outcome for another patient
• Reviews must be voluntary. Payments, gifts, discounts or pressure must not be used to obtain reviews or influence their rating or wording
• Outcomes described in testimonials are specific to those individuals and will vary for other patients
• Review widgets and selected excerpts may be displayed. Excerpts should preserve the original meaning and be identified as excerpts

Professional and Advertising Standards

Medical practice and website communications are subject to applicable Indian professional-conduct, consumer-protection and privacy requirements, including:

• Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002 — governing ethical standards, patient communication, and advertising by medical practitioners
• Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) Code for Self-Regulation — standards for truthful and responsible advertising
• Consumer Protection Act, 2019 — patient rights in the context of medical services
• Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and its rules — subject to their phased commencement (see our Privacy Policy)

Website statements must be accurate and supported by appropriate evidence. Qualifications alone do not establish treatment safety or effectiveness. A disclaimer cannot correct a misleading claim or remove professional responsibilities, patient rights or the need for informed consent.
