1. Could you introduce the Centre for Aesthetic Surgery of the Indian Ocean and explain what sets it apart as a reference institution for aesthetic and reconstructive surgery in Mauritius and the region?
The Centre for Aesthetic Surgery of the Indian Ocean has been operating for 25 years.
We work across four main areas:
We offer full-spectrum care from head to toe, positioning us as a holistic aesthetic and reconstructive centre in the region.
2. Mauritius is becoming a hub for medical tourism and wellness. How does your centre contribute to this national vision?
Mauritius is an exceptional destination thanks to its hospitality, beaches, and hotels. International visitors increasingly want more than a holiday, they want a meaningful experience. Aesthetic medicine fits perfectly into this demand. We complement the country’s strong tourism sector by offering high-quality medical services within this idyllic setting.
3. What are your main surgical services, and which treatments are the most popular among patients?
Over 25 years, we became widely recognized for hair transplantation, which made our centre famous. Today, we have treated almost 7,000 hair transplant patients, representing Over 30 million hair transplanted.
We then expanded into dentistry, bringing together specialized doctors and a high-level technical team capable of delivering short-term, effective treatments, including implants, veneers, smile design, and full dental rehabilitation.
We later integrated aesthetic medicine and aesthetic surgery, allowing us to offer complete care. Our philosophy is to treat each patient globally.
Our medical team includes:
Many of the treatments we offer, such as multiple implants within a week, are not easily accessible elsewhere. We regularly help patients regain both functionality and confidence.
4. How do you ensure the highest levels of clinical excellence, safety, and ethical practice?
We operate at strict medical standards, our operating rooms are regularly inspected by health authorities.
We are a day clinic, so we don’t use general anesthesia on site. For major procedures such as breast augmentation, breast reduction, or liposuction, we partner with a hospital to ensure full medical monitoring.
Across all specialties, post-operative follow-up is crucial. We never leave patients without guidance, we provide structured follow-up regardless of the treatment. This continuity is key to reassuring patients and ensuring safe outcomes.
5. Your centre collaborates with highly experienced surgeons. How do you approach talent recruitment and continuous medical training?
We recruit based on experience and strict professional credentials. All doctors must be registered locally and participate in continuous medical training.
Mauritius requires doctors to accumulate training credits throughout their career. In addition, our specialists train abroad, most recently in Dubai and other international hubs. Participation in international conferences ensures our team stays at the forefront of their fields.
6. Technology is transforming aesthetic surgery. What advanced techniques or equipment has your centre adopted to improve results and patient comfort?
Our technical platform is one of our major strengths.
In dentistry, we use:
In hair transplantation, we use:
For aesthetic medicine, we use:
All treatments are overseen by thoroughly trained practitioners. This combination of expertise and technology ensures optimal results.
7. How do you support international patients before, during, and after their procedures?
Digital tools like teleconsultations help us guide patients before they travel. Each international patient is assigned a patient ambassador, who acts as their dedicated contact for at least one year, handling questions, emotional support, scheduling, and liaison with the medical team.
We provide clear packages that include the full treatment journey, medical requirements, and logistics.
We also offer on-site accommodation, including three private villas with pools and spacious living areas. Being located just across the street from the clinic allows easy follow-up. For those who prefer hotels, we partner with several nearby properties, including five-star options.
Our CRM system centralizes all patient information, ensuring seamless communication and quick problem-solving when needed.
8. Interest from regional and international markets, including the Gulf, is increasing. Do you see opportunities for collaboration with UAE clinics or medical tourism agencies?
Absolutely. Our treatments often require long-term follow-up, especially for dentistry. Therefore, partnerships abroad are essential. We are developing collaborations in the region, in France, and we see strong potential in the Gulf.
We value partnerships with agencies and clinics that reflect our quality standards and help enhance our international visibility.
9. To conclude, what message would you like to share with Khaleej Times readers about Mauritius as a premier destination for aesthetic and reconstructive surgery?
Mauritius offers medical standards comparable to those of the Middle East, combined with world-class hospitality, beautiful landscapes, and peace of mind.
We reassure patients that our infrastructure, data protection, and medical follow-up are of the highest quality. The island’s climate, warmth, and ability to customize each stay make Mauritius a dream destination not only for holidays but also for aesthetic and reconstructive treatments. We welcome international patients from around the world, as well as domestic patients.
