Most commonly performed procedures for various body parts are as follows:

Nose:

‘Nose job’ or Rhinoplasty, debulking for rhinophyma, septum deviation corrections.

‘Nose job’ or ‘rhinoplasty’ is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedure especially in the younger age group. Nose being the most prominent part of our body cannot go unnoticed. A pleasing nose in harmony with lips and chin is considered hallmark of one’s beauty.

‘Ideal nose’ is that which suits your face the best and is in harmony with other facial features.

Nose is divided into upper fixed root, middle dorsum or bridge and the lower moveable lobule or the tip region. All these regions of the nose are amiable to change. Thus a nose that is too big, very broad, with hump or prominent bridge, very long, drooping, broad, rounded or heavy tip, short, depressed or crooked, wide and flaring can be corrected and made more pleasing.

Blocked nose with difficulty in breathing responds well to septum correction surgery or septo-rhinoplasty.

Eyes & eyelids:

Blepharoplasty or Correction of ‘Baggy Eyelids’. Lifting Eyebrows, removal of dark circles, Ectropion or ‘Hanging Lower lids’, Entropion or ‘In turning eyelashes’

Eyes are beholder of beauty. Whenever we meet and greet somebody our eyes make the first contact. Glowing eyes surrounded by well-toned clear skin of the eyelids are of paramount importance for the beauty. Eyes are also the first indicators of the advancing age. Loose wrinkled skin of the eyes, drooping eyebrows and eyelids, presence of bulgings and baggy eyelids can give a tired and aged looks to a person. Presence of excessive wrinkles or ‘crows feet’ on the outer corners of eyes can be unattractive sometimes.

Blepharoplasty or correction of all such anomalies to an extent can make a lot of difference in the outlook of a person. This is the reason that eyelid cosmetic surgery is the most commonly done procedure in elderly males and females.

Forehead:

Forehead lifting, removal of wrinkles and frown lines.

Forehead constitutes an important landmark of one’s personality. A well contoured forehead with no extra wrinkles and absences of frown lines gives a person often sought relaxed looks. Very deep horizontal lines or deep frown lines in the middle between eyebrows makes a person look very anxious.

Most of these problems can be very effectively dealt with procedures like:

Forehead lift, endoscopic sub periostial lift of upper third of face, carbon dioxide laser resurfacing and Botox injections.

Cheeks:

Reduction of cheekbones or Cheek projection by implants.

Raising or making the cheek bones look more prominent is the commonest surgery for the cheeks. It normally employs placing synthetic material implants over the existing cheek bones. Surgery is done through mouth and no marks are visible outside.

Lip size reduction or increase in the lip bulk ‘Chelioplasty’

Lips can be made more prominent and fuller or thinner as the need may be.

Lip augmentation creates fuller and plumper lips. For Augmentation a natural or synthetic biocompatible material, or the patient’s own fat, is injected or implanted in the lips. Several filler Injections may be repeated periodically. Alloderm,Gore-Tex, SoftForm and soft ePTFE are some of the synthetic implants used for lip augmentation.

Lip reduction is done for very bulky or hanging lips.

Chin:

Chin reduction or Chin augmentation. Reduction of double chin.

Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant, bone advancement or reduction surgery on the bone. Sometimes it may be recommend to a patient having nose surgery in order to achieve facial proportion, as the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose. Chin surgery helps provide a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel better about the way you look.
