A
new dimension of the medical field taking off in India is cosmetic surgery
which utilises some of the latest techniques in corrective procedures. Some
disfigurations corrected include hair restoration (hair implants, hair
flaps, and scalp reductions), rhinoplasties (reshaping or recontouring of
the nose) staling of the aging process (face lift, cosmetic eyelid surgery,
brow lifts, sub-metal lipectomy for double chin), dermabrasions (sanding of
the face), otoplasty for protruding ears, chin and cheek enlargement, lip
reductions, various types of breast surgery and reconstruction and
liposuction.
Non-invasive surgical procedures like streotactic radiosurgery and radiotherapy
for brain tumours are practised successfully.
