Plastic Surgery - Safe, Affordable and Expert Procedures

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on enhancing appearance and restoring body function. It includes cosmetic procedures like facelifts, rhinoplasty, and liposuction, as well as reconstructive surgeries to correct deformities from injury, birth defects, or medical conditions.

India has become a popular destination for plastic surgery due to its skilled surgeons, advanced facilities, and affordable costs. Modern techniques allow for natural-looking results with minimal downtime, improving both appearance and confidence while addressing functional concerns.

What is Plastic Surgery?

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty focused on the correction, reconstruction, or enhancement of the human body. It can be broadly divided into two main types

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Surgery: These procedures are performed to improve appearance. Common examples include rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), facelifts, liposuction, breast augmentation, and tummy tucks. Cosmetic surgery is typically elective.
Reconstructive Surgery: This type aims to restore function and appearance after trauma, congenital anomalies, or medical conditions. Examples include burn repair, cleft lip and palate surgery, breast reconstruction post-mastectomy, and scar revision surgeries.

People choose plastic surgery not only to enhance beauty and confidence but also to correct functional or medical issues, making it both aesthetic and therapeutic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cosmetic surgery focuses on enhancing appearance, such as facelifts or liposuction. Reconstructive surgery restores function or appearance lost due to injury, birth defects, or medical conditions, like cleft palate repair or post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.

A suitable candidate should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and consult a qualified surgeon who can evaluate medical history, procedure type, and potential risks.

Some procedures, like rhinoplasty or breast augmentation, provide long-lasting results, while others, such as liposuction or facelifts, may require maintenance or lifestyle changes to retain optimal outcomes.

Choose a certified, experienced surgeon, follow pre- and post-operative instructions, maintain good health, avoid smoking, and disclose all medications or medical conditions to the surgical team.

Most procedures involve small incisions, and surgeons place them strategically to minimize visibility. Scar appearance improves over time with proper care, but complete scar elimination may not always be possible.
