About Dr. Ganapathy Krishnan

Dr. Ganapathy Krishnan is a Senior Consultant in Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, with over 27 years of dedicated clinical practice. He holds an MBBS degree, MS in General Surgery, and MCh (Master of Chirurgie) in Plastic Surgery—a qualification that reflects his extensive formal training and advanced specialization in surgical reconstruction and aesthetic refinement. His educational credentials position him among the most thoroughly trained plastic surgeons practicing in India.

Over nearly three decades, Dr. Krishnan has developed deep clinical expertise across the full spectrum of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. He specializes in rhinoplasty (surgical nose reshaping), facelift techniques, breast augmentation, reduction and reconstruction, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), liposuction, and advanced scar revision. His practice also encompasses reconstructive work including cleft lip and palate repair, skin grafting, and fat transfer procedures—work that demands both artistic sensitivity and technical precision. This breadth of experience allows him to tailor surgical plans to each patient's unique anatomy and goals.

Dr. Krishnan regularly welcomes international patients from the Gulf region, Africa, and South Asia who seek cosmetic and reconstructive solutions in India. His fluency in English, Hindi, and Tamil facilitates clear communication with diverse patient populations. He recognizes the needs of international medical travelers—including time management, pre-operative evaluation, and post-operative follow-up across borders—and structures his practice to support seamless care coordination. Many patients choose his consultation specifically for his patient-centered approach and transparent discussion of realistic outcomes.

Based at Apollo Hospitals, Greams Road, Chennai, one of India's most respected multi-specialty healthcare institutions, Dr. Krishnan benefits from state-of-the-art surgical facilities, advanced imaging, and comprehensive post-operative care infrastructure. Apollo Hospitals maintains NABH accreditation and supports a dedicated international patient department, making it a preferred destination for medical tourism from the Middle East and beyond. The hospital's ICU capacity, anesthesia protocols, and infection control standards align with international expectations, ensuring safety and clinical rigor.
