At BSH, we strive to balance your wishes with what’s possible and natural. The results we strive for look harmonious and are never overdone.” The expert reveals that people in Bahrain have become more comfortable with the idea of cosmetic surgeries, as the procedures have become simpler and more affordable. “The worries over recovery and pain are a thing of the past. The advances in medical technology allow us to use anaesthesia that offers patients the utmost comfort and safety. They also have the advantage of faster recovery time,” he adds.

He also specialises in face beautifying, abdomen shaping and breast surgeries. Weight loss, with or without surgery, is easily attainable at the cosmetic centre at BSH. To help patients shed pounds, a host of high-tech treatments are used. The lipocryo machine safely cools excess fat and removes it from your body. The Zerona cold laser is another machine used for painless fat removal. The body jet liposuction machine effectively removes fat, albeit through surgery. Cellulite, a common problem that women face, can also be treated at the centre. Dr Rajesh believes that patients should be well informed about the procedures they are undergoing and the risks involved. “In our hospital, every patient is given a complete explanation about the treatment methods in order to offer them guidance while making important decisions,” he says. BSH boasts the FDA-approved Fraxel laser, which is used for the removal of pigments, patches, wrinkles and scars on the face and body. The Thermage machine is used to help you look young by tightening loose skin on the face, abdomen, arms and thighs without having to go under the knife. Results for this procedure can be seen after a single session. Other conventional services include painless and bruise-free Botox and filler injections, and micro-vascular or burns surgery.
