Dr Naik works for LV Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad as a consultant Ophthalmic and Facial Plastic surgeon. The Reconstructive and Cosmetic specialties though overlapping sometimes, do differ in many ways; hence Dr Naik prefers to separate their consultation days.

He sees Reconstructive Facial Plastic surgery consults on Monday and Wednesday (9AM-5.30PM), and Cosmetic consults at the Aesthetics Clinic in LV Prasad Eye Institute on Thursdays and Saturdays. All consults are by appointment only.
His clinical and surgical expertise is backed by an excellent medical set-up at LV Prasad Eye Institute, a WHO Collaborating tertiary eye care centre.

Why facial cosmetic surgery in an eye hospital?

Ophthalmologists today are no longer restricted to cataracts and spectacle prescriptions, but can use their fine microsurgery skills to perform facial cosmetic surgeries. Ophthalmic plastic surgery is a specialty that deals with plastic surgery around the eyes. The fine skills of this subspecialty can, with proper training, be extended to facial cosmetic surgeries, and have several advantages. 

Many of these procedures (for example removal of eyelid bags) can be performed from behind the eyelid, thereby avoiding any skin scars! Majority of aging changes occur around the eyes, where an ophthalmic plastic surgeon is most comfortable operating or injecting. Also, the fine microsurgical skills of an ophthalmologist ensures minimal tissue trauma, and offer optimum results with quick recovery.

Moreover, nearly half of the revenue generated from the Aesthetics Clinic goes into the prevention and treatment of blindness. 

How is the Aesthetics Clinic different?

The Aesthetics Centre at L V Prasad Eye Institute concentrates only on the face and neck. It not only addresses the skin issues (which constitute only one-third of age-related changes), but also the soft tissue and bony changes. A combined consultation with the plastic surgeon and dermatologist offers patients the unique advantage of receiving the best possible treatment.

Why Reconstructive surgery in an eye hospital?

Ophthalmologists today are no longer restricted to cataracts and spectacle prescriptions, but can use their fine microsurgery skills to perform facial reconstructive surgeries. Ophthalmic plastic surgery is a specialty that deals with plastic surgery around the eyes. The fine skills of this subspecialty can, with proper training, be extended to facial reconstruction, and have several advantages. Facial reconstructive surgery that requires handling of eye tissues are best performed by an ophthalmic plastic surgeon, who is also trained in facial surgery. Many facial procedures that require skin incision when performed by the traditional (general plastic surgery) techniques can be performed from behind the eyelid, thereby avoiding any skin scars! Also, the fine microsurgical skills of an ophthalmologist ensures minimal tissue trauma, and offer optimum results with quick recovery.

Moreover, nearly half of the revenue generated from the Aesthetics Clinic goes into the prevention and treatment of blindness. 

How is the Reconstructive Surgery Clinic different?
