A strong cosmetic surgery fellowship in India rests on two things: an experienced teacher and real, hands-on practice. Elegance Vidhyalay, the training institute founded by Dr. Ashutosh Shah in Surat, was built for exactly that. With more than 22 years of surgical experience, national faculty status and a record of training 90+ surgeons, Dr. Shah passes on his expertise through structured fellowships and workshops.
In his podcast interview, Dr. Shah summed up the philosophy behind the institute: as experience grows, it becomes a responsibility to train the next generation well.
Watch: Dr. Ashutosh Shah on experience, teaching and the Elegance approach.
A good fellowship is far more than lectures. At Elegance Vidhyalay, trainees learn by doing, under direct supervision.
Global aesthetic standards from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery shape the curriculum, while medical-education norms in India are guided by the National Medical Commission.
Elegance Vidhyalay offers programmes suited to different experience levels, from the IAAPS-accredited cosmetic surgery fellowship and the broader cosmetic surgery fellowship to focused crash courses and workshops. You can browse all fellowships to find the right fit.
A surgeon who both performs and teaches understands a procedure at a deeper level, including how to avoid and manage complications. Trainees benefit twice: from refined technique and from real clinical judgment. Read more about Dr. Ashutosh Shah, who also leads patient care at Elegance Clinic.
Based in Surat, Gujarat, and partnered with a university for its paramedical courses, Elegance Vidhyalay trains doctors from across India. The institute reflects a simple idea Dr. Shah repeats often: experience carries a responsibility to teach others well.
