I first met Dr. Devayani Barve at Jewel Aesthetic Centre on a bright morning in Juhu, drawn by professional interest in scar removal treatment and what practitioners today are offering in aesthetic medicine. Scar removal treatment — whether for post-surgical marks, acne scars, or traumatic skin injuries — is increasingly sought by patients in urban centers like Mumbai, and I wanted to understand both the procedure itself and the expertise behind it.
Dr. Devayani Barve, practicing as a plastic surgeon in Mumbai, India, greeted me with a poised professionalism that sets the tone for her clinic’s environment, which balances clinical precision with patient comfort. Her experience and qualifications immediately became apparent as she explained the scope and approach to scar treatment here.
Dr. Devayani Barve is widely recognized in both local and international circles as a highly trained plastic surgeon in Mumbai, India with deep expertise in reconstructive and aesthetic care. Her qualifications include an MBBS and MS in General Surgery from the prestigious Seth G.S. Medical College and KEM Hospital, Mumbai, followed by an M.Ch. in Plastic Surgery from the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh — one of India’s premier surgical training institutes.
Beyond her degrees, Dr. Devayani Barve has enhanced her training with international exposure, including fellowship experience in Aesthetic and Breast Surgery in Miami, USA, certification through ECFMG (USA), and an International Fellowship from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).
