Frequently Asked Questions About Dr. Karthik Ram

What procedures does Dr. Karthik Ram specialize in?
Dr. Karthik Ram specializes in deep plane facelift surgery, neck lift, and facial rejuvenation, practicing in India. The deep plane facelift is an advanced rhytidectomy technique that releases the retaining ligaments beneath the SMAS layer and repositions the fat, muscle, and skin as a single composite unit for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation. Dr. Karthik Ram is a highly regarded plastic surgeon based in Chennai, India, known for his focus on facial rejuvenation procedures. As of August 2026, he leads Chennai Plastic Surgery, a practice dedicated to aesthetic and reconstructive treatments.
Is Dr. Ram board certified?
Dr. Ram is listed as a deep plane facelift specialist on DEEPPLANE™. Board-certification details have not been confirmed for this profile yet, so we recommend verifying credentials directly with the surgeon's office and through the relevant national medical board's public registry before scheduling a consultation.
How can I book a consultation with Dr. Ram?
Dr. Ram has not yet taken ownership of this profile, so contact is routed through our location-based inquiry: submit the secure inquiry form above and we'll forward your request to verified deep plane facelift surgeons in Chennai.
What do patients say about Dr. Ram?
Patient reviews for Dr. Ram are available on their DEEPPLANE™ profile, alongside any public Google reviews linked to the clinic. Patients who have undergone a deep plane facelift can share their experience through our structured review system, which collects separate ratings for surgical outcome, communication, recovery support, and overall value to help future patients make informed decisions.
Where is Dr. Ram located?
Dr. Ram practices at Chennai Plastic Surgery in Chennai, India. The clinic welcomes both local and international patients travelling for deep plane facelift surgery. Request the full clinic address and directions during your initial inquiry. International patients can arrange a virtual consultation before traveling to review candidacy, treatment plan, and pricing.
What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. Ram provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
Deep plane facelift results typically last 10-15 years, significantly longer than traditional SMAS or mini-facelift procedures, which tend to last 5-8 years. The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial tissues (including the SMAS-platysma composite and the released retaining ligaments) rather than simply tightening skin, which produces more natural, longer-lasting rejuvenation. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Ram can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
