Visited Dr. Gunasekar Vuppalapati (Plastic Surgeon) For Septoplasty
Dear GVG INVIVO, I have undergone Septo-Rhinoplasty a week ago. I had breathing difficulty, Deviated Nasal Septrum with Turbinate hypertrophy saddle nose. After meeting ‘The hands of God’ Dr. Gunasekar Vuppalapati (MBBS, MS, MCh – Plastic Surgeon) I am really over the moon (extremely happy) and now I feel, I am re-born. I am really thankful to Dr. Gunasekar Vuppalapati for this successful surgery. Your skills are highly excellent and appreciable. Nevertheless, the way you treat your patient is awesome, your friendly behavior and services are remarkable. It’s one of my ‘THE BEST’ choice to choose GVG INVIVO & YOU as my Doctor. Also, not to be silence about GVG INVIVO FAMILY (Other Doctors, Nurses & Staffs), ‘THE BEST’. I really need to appreciate Mr. LINU TR (Senior Aesthetics Practitioner) for his dedicated and compassionate consultations and follows ups. You have been very friendly and played a major role in this journey. You always go above and beyond towards your work. Thank you so much for your care and service, LINU TR.
I would definitely recommend GVG INVIVO for their Incredible Service. Maybe my Journey with GVG INVIVO would definitely explain to know what really made me to be ‘Over The Moon’ and grateful to say, I am re-born. Also, why I choose GVG INVIVO and How I considered it to be ‘THE BEST’.
About ME:
I had suffered from 27 years to see this change and unbelievable. One of my college friends recommended me about GVG INVIVO. She had cleft nose issue and had undergone surgeries with GVG INVIVO and the outcome is speechless. When I met her 5 years back, I was very surprised to see the changes on her face, which was so beautiful. That’s when I first though there is a solution for me too but the word SURGERY was really a scary word to me at that time. I stepped back and compromised to adjust it throughout life and never gave a thought to ask more details with her.
Later 3 years, again it stroked my mind but again few thoughts came forward as questions – What about the cost? What about the pain? What about the results; definite or not? and started browsing Google, YouTube for more details but again was still scared, not confident to step forward but didn’t get over the quest to see the better me. I used to watch YouTube to know more about the surgery procedures, I researched few hospitals and was really confused which to choose, how to choose the best hospital and doctor. I also saw the risks, complications after surgery which made me to be in dilemma whether to opt or forget.
Few months back, my friend invited for her marriage and this time I was sure to ask about hospital and her experience because I always don’t take risk till, I completely have an accurate answer to my questions. On one hand my researches and on other hand my friend as an evident proof. However, considering the luck part for whom the surgeries failed made me to think long time. After hearing from my friend, this time I started to research and compare GVG INVIVO and other hospitals. One main decision I had decided is, when I choose something then it should be ONLY ONE excluded from options. Considering the pandemic situation, I did not want to go for different hospitals consultations and then decide. So here, I first decided who is my SURGEON (THE BEST ONLY) and that will be the hospital I go forward. First check point about the surgeon and reviews about his work. I was satisfied. I learnt about his skills, his reviews were lively, then on call with LINU TR, he gave some heads-up which made an assurance to decide HE is my doctor. Second check point was the consultation to know in-person. Done. My two conditions satisfied and fixed, He is the ONE Dr. Gunasekar Vuppalapati (MBBS, MS, MCh – Plastic Surgeon).
GVG INVIVO, Dr. Gunasekar Vuppalapati, LINU TR and Me:
On the day of consultation, I met LINU TR and my Doctor. I expressed my concerns to them and asked for a solution. Doctor enquired about my concerns, my past health history. With his experience and even before any reports, he could almost say what issues are there, he examining my nose with his hands and explained about Septo-Rhinoplasty is what I need. Then, I had asked many possible questions about surgery procedures, risks, complications and main about Anaesthetia and its risks. He answered all my questions and I was so pleased with his confidence in answering my doubts. He suggested General Anaesthesia. Then I asked, isn’t General Anaesthetia a risk procedure? I was worried but he gave a direct reply, YES, it will be and without some point of risk, results are unachievable. However, not to be worried, we have the best Anaesthetic Doctor and gave some insights about procedure, about Dr. Sowmya (Anaesthetic Doctor). He was very gentle, clear and straight-forward in his replies, which made me come out of the dilemma and step forward for surgery, I decided on SPOT without next thought.
Next, LINU TR assisted me with the pre-treatment, cost and tests (Blood test, CT- SCAN, ECG, Chest X-Ray and RT-PCR) to be done before surgery as suggested by Dr. Gunasekar Vuppalapati. I had many pimples on face and few bigger in size around nose, acne, dry and rough skin which can cause surgery complications. He suggested a treatment routine for skin care and a tablet as pre-treatment before surgery. LINU helped explaining the pre-treatment routine very precisely. ANJALI (Staff) helped me for blood test, RT-PCR and all payments. She was very polite and quick in her work.
Once again, I met Doctor with reports, he checked and said reports are good to go and considering CT-SCAN, what was said on first day is the same after seeing reports. I was mesmerized with his experience and felt confidence. Surgery Date was fixed. Also, I was scheduled a video call with Dr. Sowmya (Anaesthetic Doctor), she examined in a video itself. I sensed her experience in video call only. I was glad and relieved worrying for General Anaesthesia procedure anymore.
DAY OF SURGERY: 02.02.2022 & WHAT I FORGOT
PRE-SURGERY: I said to myself, be brave and you can handle the pain because it’s going to be worth the pain. The actual part is, I went alone to hospital for surgery and definitely self-motivation factor was needed. I was informed not to consume food and water from previous night 10.00 PM. Once I reached hospital, a nurse attended and kept me informed about room, bath, and surgery dress very politely. The room and toilet were maintained clean.
Another male nurse Mr. Sivakumar took care of fluid drips and injections. I should definitely say about him. He was so humble and down to earth. Actually, I am scared of needles prick and pain. One of my scared thoughts more than surgery was this (LOL). For the first time in my life, I am injecting fluid drips. But Sivakumar made it easy and painless. With his smooth and calm tone, first he spoke to me what is going to do, asked what is the score of pricking after he pricked needles around 4-5. I FORGOT to think about the pain and then he also asked sorry for the pricks and if was painful, please excuse me. Damn, I FORGOT about the OPERATION THEATRE fear vibes () with his humbleness. It was like saturation zone because never ever I had seen such humble hospital staff in my 27years.
By time I came back from saturation zone, another two nurses were attending me already for final check points like nails & nail polish, thread and so on.
Then with no time gap, Dr. Gunasekar Vuppalapati came for marking. He was marking very gently and I somewhere was about to feel the fear but LINU TR took over it with his photography session and became my stress burster, he always tries to makes me smile. It was actually fun posing and I was enjoying even on 2 days of consultations as well as on the day of surgery too, straight pose, 45° angle pose and 90° angle pose on both side like model vibes (LOL).
TIME FOR SURGERY (9:30AM): Immediately without allowing me to pass another thought, an OT (Operation Theatre) nurse walked me inside Operation Theatre. I left my thoughts blank because I FORGOT to THINK about present and next process happening. I was still swimming in thoughts of humbleness and cheerful, I FORGOT to FEAR. Uff OMG, I was flat & unconscious already lying on operation bed and FORGOT to think the word SURGERY(LOL).
Doctors and all Nurses were two steps ahead the patient. They never wasted a minute from the morning I entered hospital room (7:00AM) till operation theatre (9:30PM).
MY REACTIONS WHEN AWAKE: When I regained my conscious, I heard Nurse Shilpa’s voice saying ‘’she is regaining her conscious” which took me few minutes to realize, I was drowzy. At last, I opened my eyes wide and at the same time I saw Dr. Gunasekar Vuppalapati his mejastic walk with confident smile. That’s it. I had no questions to ask about my surgery and nose. A trust was created inside me that I am all fine and surgery was success with great result. I felt happy and confident after seeing him like that I FORGOT the surroundings and never even flashed until he asked me ARE YOU OKAY? That’s when I rolled my eyes up and realized this is not Operation Theatre, No lights above my head. OH! Where am I? (Ghazni moment). I blinked twice to realize I have been shifted to room, the reason being I was told in consultation that I will be woken up first in Operation Theatre which was stored in my brain. I replied Doctor, with thumbs up but couldn’t speak out (COMPLETELY MUTE) and doctor said it’s because of anesthesia, you will feel discomfort to speak. Don’t worry, you will be alright.
Next Doctor asked DO I HAVE PAIN? That’s when I realized after hearing the word ‘PAIN’ I rolled my eyes down and saw my hands are connected to Heart & BP monitor machine, fluid is running through the syringe inserted on my hand. YES, I AM PATIENT NOW FOR REAL. While parallelly a thought was running in my mind to have some food (IDLE and water to clear dryness and sourness) even when I wasn’t hungry because my throat was getting dry when I inhale (its selfcare to come out of it). I noded my head as NO (Fluid medicines to control pain were already injected) and said I need IDLE and water in sign language ofcourse (I AM MUTED), doctor smiled and said she is fine and informed nurse to get her water, Idle, whatever she wants. LINU TR smiled too hearing what I asked for when doctor questioned me about PAIN. Although as part of their duty – LINU TR kept me informed that surgery really went well and you can be rest assured about your NOSE with bright smile. Doctor informed me to rest well, eat and have more water, try to sit, start walking and speak often.
GENERAL ANAESTHESIA VIBES POST SURGERY:
Once Doctor left, I asked Nurse Shilpa for time (Sign Language). She said it’s 5:20PM. I was terribly shocked. She said around 3:00PM, surgery ended and was shifted to room. My tongue was stiff, dry mouth, sour throat, no voice and I need to inhale breathe through mouth, nose completely packed, drowsiness, no strength to sit and walk or stand firmly. Nurse informed me till 7:00PM NO FOOD & WATER. Hearing this I became unconscious and slept off. I was awake by 6:30PM asking for time and at 7:00PM, finally I sat and had sip by sip hot water to check puking sensation (its expected) but I didn’t have any. Then had food pinch by pinch and that’s the quantity I could swallow slowly (for few days that’s the possible quantity intake).
NURSE SERVICES AND HYGIENE MAINTAINANCE POST SURGERY SUPPORT:
When ever I called for any support or ask anything, they used to assist and do it immediately with care. Every Nurses were so friendly and supported me with gentle and great care and few names I know are Shilpa, Princy, Sivakumar, Anupriya and one person (couldn’t recall name). I am really honored with your services. Shilpa support me getting food quickly whatever I asked for, she took me for a small walk holding my hand which was like handling a fragile item, her supportive and friendly words gave confidence to be anymore a patient on bed and boosted me to try things out. Anupriya really was great support all over the night because that’s when I suffered more effects of anesthesia like uncomfortable to breathe through mouth, unable to sleep when I am damn sleepy, need to drink water and use restroom very frequently. Whenever I rang bell, she or another nurse will there without passing a minute. Timely monitoring, changing drips & supporting my pain when drip bottles are changed. Princy and two more Nurses were supporting me next day morning. All gave equal and likewise care to me and I couldn’t find difference in their services. A night duty doctor was also present. His advice was so helpful when I was suffering the sleeping tantrum due to anesthesia effects.
Nurse where not allowed to stay inside the patient room to protect hygiene level and control the spread of infections but was in Nurse Station which is next to my room door. They ensured two or three nurses on duty, different shifts and they work alternative days. Masks and gloves were used. The best part was, they also ensured I too was self-hygiene – for two days – two set hospital gown, groomed my hair, wiped face and such an intense care by Nurse Anupriya.
Cleaning hygiene was super good. I should thank the cleaning lady staff Bhagya. After every meal I had and stepped out for walk, she immediately used to sweep, mop the room, clean the table and wash N’ dry wipe utensils (my own utensils but clean utensils where present at hospital for patients use). She never allowed me to even pick spell food on table, without even hesitate and with smile, she asked me to go for walk and rest on sofa, I will take care. So sweet of her really. She was a foot forward for cleaning before I even call her.
Communication was maintained excellent in between Doctors, Nurses, staffs and that’s why I called GVG INVIVO FAMILY. All discharge documents related works were readily kept. Medicines were explained. Accurate help in clearing bills at the time of discharge.
AFTER DISCHARGE:
All I did was followed every tip and instruction gave by Dr. Gunasekar Vuppalapati after discharge. Those are the key for healthy recovery. I had one thought in mind – “I am not a doctor to alter/ignore doctor’s instructions for routine medication and care”. I never missed the date of appointment for pack and stitch removal.
The surgery outcome is marvelous. His skills are not even questionable. After pack removal, my breathing is perfect, nasal issues are rectified and I am extremely so happy without a doubt. Thank you so much Dr. Gunasekar Vuppalapati. A big Thank you to LINU TR and all others who were part of my memorable journey.
I am still on the recovery phase and regular follows are still going on. Maybe the story may not be the same to all but definitely I am sure to all patients, your journey will be awesome too and will be re-born (RESTORED>REVITALIZED>REJOICED).

Visited Dr. Krishna Ramanathan (ENT/ Otorhinolaryngologist)
My grandmother is 94 years old and has had hearing deficiency for 10+ years. We were not able to address her problem due to lack of good advice.
I am glad we connected with Dr. Krishna. She listed to my grandmother's condition with great care and concern. She immediately suggested a remedy - hearing aids fitted by a professional. She also was realistic and shared limitations of the treatment. She connected us to professional technicians, followed up with us to ensure success.
My grandmother's hearing and quality of life has improved significantly now. We are glad we reached out to Dr. Krishna. I strongly recommend her for anyone with ear related problems.
Visited Dr. Krishna Ramanathan (ENT/ Otorhinolaryngologist)
I had a deviated septum which made it extremely difficult for me to breathe while sleeping and would constantly keep waking up due to congestion. During the consultation with Dr. Krishna, she listened to all my symptoms very patiently, performed an endoscopy and recommended to get a septoplasty done. The surgery went pretty smooth. There was a bit of bleeding for a day or two. Dr. Krishna is very caring and made sure to message me to check how I'm doing a few days after surgery. I did have some issue with nasal congestion a for a few weeks after surgery, but the nasal wash which the doctor prescribed really helped in dealing with it.
Visited Dr. Krishna Ramanathan (ENT/ Otorhinolaryngologist) For Ear Pain
My experience with Dr. Krishna was very good. When I had consulted her, she was very patient and thorough. She listened to all the information or symptoms and then prescribed the required medication, which was very effective. She also answered all my questions and gave recommendations for next step. I'm very happy with the treatment and highly suggest her.
