Dr. Ravichandran G

Dr. Ravichandran G. is among the most recognised and experienced dermatologists in Chennai. Aside from treating some of the most common skin-related disorders, he offers specialised surgical treatment for a range of aesthetic and cosmetic issues, including mole and scar removal, skin grafts and hair transplants. As it stands, his expertise also extends to advanced dermatological conditions such as vitiligo.

Typically, dermatologists treat most skin-related diseases with non-invasive methods. However, specific disorders like alopecia, require surgical remediation. In such cases, Dr. Ravichandran can conduct the standard follicular unit transplantation (FUT) or resort to follicular unit extraction (FUE) to rectify the problem.

For cosmetic and other related aesthetic issues, Dr. Ravichandran relies on first understanding the extent of correction required. Following that, he assesses the scope of the necessary surgical procedure, aligning it with what the individual wants. He applies the same approach to all his patients, thoroughly discussing the potential risks and the post-operation management routine. This, coupled with his dedication to providing the best possible patient care, has enabled him to treat complex skin-related problems. As such, he has performed over 200 surgeries over his long, distinguished career of 23 years.

Besides his professional accomplishments and expertise, Dr. Ravichandran G. is one of the reviewers for the Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy. He has also co-authored and published the Davidson Textbook of Medicine. His vast clinical experience and his distinctive perspective and knowledge regarding some of the most overlooked areas in dermatological care make him one of Apollo's most prominent consultants.
