Director, The Esthetic Clinics®
Dr. Debraj Shome is an internationally trained surgeon, super specialised in facial plastic, facial plastic & reconstructive surgery, with over two decades of experience in aesthetic and reconstructive facial surgery. His work is defined by precision, natural outcomes, and a deep anatomical understanding of the most delicate structures of the face, particularly the eyes and surrounding regions.
He is among the very few surgeons in Asia to be a Diplomate of the American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery and serves as Governor-at-Large for the India chapter at the American College of Surgeons.
Patients from across India and over 25 countries seek him out for procedures such as rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, deep plane face lifts and advanced facial aesthetic surgery, where judgment, restraint, and anatomical expertise determine outcomes.
Dr. Debraj Shome's path into facial plastic surgery began long before formal medical training. From an early age, there was a natural inclination toward understanding and altering facial structure. Family recollections often point to an unusual curiosity about faces and how they could be changed or refined.
After completing his MBBS from Grant Medical College, one of India's oldest and most respected medical institutions, he began to define his direction more clearly. The question was not whether to pursue surgery, but how to reach the highest level of specialization within it.
At the time, the conventional pathway involved entering general surgery, followed by plastic surgery. Instead, he made a deliberate decision to pursue a more focused pathway — building his foundation in ophthalmic and peri-orbital surgery, recognizing that the eye and its surrounding structures represent one of the most complex and delicate regions of the human body.
From this foundation, he progressed into oculoplastic surgery, and then further expanded into facial plastic, cranio-maxillofacial, and head and neck surgery through advanced training across India, the United States, Germany, Thailand and the United Kingdom.
Institutions such as LV Prasad Eye Institute and MD Anderson Cancer Center played a significant role in shaping his surgical perspective, particularly in combining reconstructive principles with aesthetic refinement.
Over time, this structured and intentional pathway led to advanced certifications, including becoming a Diplomate of the American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery. This was then accepted under the Maharashtra Medical Council as an additional qualification and got registered in the Indian Medical Registry.
What distinguishes this long 14 year surgical training journey is not simply the institutions or qualifications, but the consistency of intent behind each step — every stage aligned toward one objective: to develop a deep, precise, and comprehensive understanding of facial surgery. That clarity continues to define his work today.
Facial surgery is not interchangeable. It requires a level of specialization that goes far beyond general surgical training.
Dr. Shome’s work is built on a pathway that prioritizes depth over breadth.
His training and clinical work have consistently centered around facial anatomy, aesthetics, and reconstruction.
His subspecialty training in eyelid and orbital surgery provides exceptional precision in blepharoplasty and mid-face procedures.
Exposure across the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Thailand and India has shaped a balanced and refined surgical approach.
Experience in complex facial reconstruction enhances safety, structural understanding, and long-term predictability.
Every procedure is tailored. The goal is refinement, not exaggeration.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most demanding procedures in facial surgery. It requires a combination of structural understanding, aesthetic judgment, and long-term planning. Dr. Shome approaches rhinoplasty with:
Each nose is approached individually. There is no template or standardized outcome.
Eyelid surgery is among the most delicate procedures in aesthetic surgery. Dr. Shome's training in eyelid and orbital anatomy allows him to approach blepharoplasty with precision that prioritizes both aesthetics and function. His approach considers:
This depth of understanding ensures results that are balanced, subtle, and enduring.
A deep plane facelift works beneath the superficial layers, releasing and repositioning deeper facial tissues to restore natural contours and youthful proportions. This allows for results that are longer-lasting and more harmonious. Dr. Shome specialises in deep plane face lifts as well as mid face lifts, neck lifts, and liquid facelifts.
Chin and facial implants are procedures of proportion rather than simply augmentation. The objective is to create balance across the face by refining structural relationships between the chin, jawline, nose, and mid-face. When performed thoughtfully, these implants enhance definition, improve profile balance, and create a more proportionate facial structure without altering individual identity.
Dr. Shome performs a comprehensive range of facial procedures, including:
His approach integrates proportion, symmetry, and tissue behavior to achieve results that remain consistent over time.
Dr. Shome’s journey into facial plastic surgery was shaped by deliberate decisions at every stage. Rather than pursuing a broad-based surgical pathway, he chose to focus early on areas that would provide the greatest depth in facial anatomy.
This led him to build a foundation in ophthalmic and peri-orbital surgery, allowing for:
Precision in microsurgical techniques
Deep understanding of eyelid and orbital structures
Early specialization in one of the most complex regions of the face
He then expanded this foundation through advanced training in facial plastic, cranio-maxillofacial, and head and neck surgery, creating a rare combination of skills that bridge function and aesthetics.

Choosing a facial surgeon is one of the most important decisions in aesthetic medicine.
It requires confidence not only in technical skill, but in judgment, experience, and the ability to understand the face as a whole.
Dr. Shome's training pathway, combining precision in peri-orbital anatomy with advanced facial plastic surgery, has been built specifically to achieve that level of understanding.
Dr. Debraj Shome consults at The Esthetic Clinics® in Mumbai and works with patients from across India and internationally.
Consultations are available both in-person and virtually. International patients are supported through a structured process that includes evaluation, treatment planning, and post-procedure care.
An integral part of Dr. Shome's philosophy is the belief that growth and responsibility must go hand in hand. Through the Debabrata Mitalee Auro Foundation, this principle is translated into action by ensuring that as the practice grows, it simultaneously creates meaningful social impact. The foundation supports patients in need, funds reconstructive surgeries, and contributes to broader healthcare access initiatives. The idea is simple yet powerful: as one earns, one must also give back.
This is not a journey shaped by chance or convenience.
It is the result of deliberate choices made to achieve depth, precision, and mastery in one of the most complex areas of surgery.
Facial surgery demands that level of intent.
