SIMS Hospital, Chennai, has launched the SIMS Aesthetic Institute (SAI), a dedicated centre offering multidisciplinary aesthetic surgery and aesthetic medicine.The institute brings together specialists in four areas-- plastic surgery, dermatology, cosmetic obstetrics and gynaecology, and maxillofacial and dental surgery. It will provide both surgical and non-surgical treatments across facial aesthetics, body contouring, breast aesthetics, skin and hair care, cosmetic gynaecology, and maxillofacial and dental aesthetics.The institute aims to offer personalised treatment plans based on individual anatomy, expectations and aesthetic goals, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Its multidisciplinary model allows patients to access the appropriate specialist based on their specific concerns.T. R. Paarivendhar, founder-chancellor, SRM Group, said the institute was envisioned around a holistic approach to aesthetics, where appearance, proportion, function, well-being and safety are considered together.Ravi Pachamuthu, Chairman, SRM Group and Chairman, SIMS Hospitals, said the integrated model would allow patients’ needs to determine the specialist and treatment pathway.Raju Sivasamy, vice-president, SIMS Hospital, said the objective was to enhance individuality while ensuring that treatments were appropriate, safe and natural-looking.SAI will offer patients access to specialist expertise across multiple aesthetic disciplines, with treatment decisions based on individual assessment.
