About Facial Plastic Surgery
I see facial plastic surgery as a mix of art and science. My aim is to help you look like yourself, just a bit more refreshed and confident. It’s not about making you look artificial, but about restoring balance and harmony to your features.
What I Offer
- I focus on natural-looking rhinoplasty results, endoscopic facelifts, browlifts, buccal fat removal, and chin or lip surgery.
- Rhinoplasty isn’t just about looks - it can also help with breathing issues.
- Minimally invasive facelift techniques mean less scarring and faster recovery.
- Buccal fat removal is quick, leaves no visible scars, and gives a sharper profile.
- Chin and lip surgeries are tailored for subtle changes that fit your face.
My Approach
- Every plan starts with a detailed chat about your goals. No cookie-cutter stuff.
- I use advanced techniques for facial contouring surgery, always keeping safety first.
- I want people to notice your confidence, not your surgery.
Not Just Surgery
- If you’re not sure about surgery, I also do non-surgical treatments like fillers, threads, and jawline contouring.
Why I Do This
The best part? That ‘jhakaas’ (awesome) feeling when you see yourself in the mirror and love what you see. That’s what keeps me going.

My Story
Hey, I’m Dr. Viral Desai. Been everywhere, Mumbai to Cape Town, but teaching and learning is my real travel. Awards are nice – ET Now, IMCAS board, all that jazz – but nothing beats moderating for my guru Dr. Woffles Wu. I’m all about anatomy, not just trends. Whether I’m showing a live hair transplant or training young docs, it’s about safe, smart work. We grow together, that’s how the field moves.
My Work
All-in-one Aesthetic Solutions - Hair restoration (like exosome hair therapy, PRP), body contouring, facial tweaks, breast work, skin glow-ups, endoscopic plastic surgery.
Precision & Safety First - I plan every step around your anatomy, use low-trauma methods. No fake-looking stuff, just smart technique.
Natural Confidence, Not Drastic Change - Botox, fillers, threads – it’s about natural facial harmonization. You look refreshed, not different.
The 'Jhakaas' Effect - Side effect? Too much confidence boost, too many compliments. That’s the vibe when you invest in yourself.
