COSMETIC SURGERY is a specialized branch of PLASTIC and RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY dealing with an improvement in appearance & diminishing the signs of aging face with the help of surgical skill & aesthetic sense.

The aim of aesthetic/cosmetic surgery is to improve & not perfection. The degree of improvement does not only depend on surgeon's skill, but on the condition of part of the body to be operated. Patients who are vague in their demands are not good candidates for cosmetic surgery. Such people need change of mind & not the change of their face. These people have some underlying worry from which they want to escape by focusing their attention on some part of their body as being the cause of their worry. They are never satisfied with the operative results. Majority of the operations can be done under local anesthesia & sedation. Few cases might require general anesthesia, but the patient does not feel pain. Generally twenty to twenty four hour's of hospital stay is necessary. Rest of the patients can go home. Modern anesthetic techniques are safe without any side effects or after affects. Modern aseptic techniques & antibiotics are used to prevent pain, infection & swelling. Incisions are made in such a way that scars are minimal, camouflaged by natural creases, cosmetics and are not visible in most of the cases. They might be visible in some cases on close inspection. Face can not be reconstructed to resemble someone else. A person's face & figure can be made more balanced & hence more beautiful. Attempt is made to achieve maximum possible with minimum amount of risk. The aim of COSMETIC SURGERY is to make a person look as best as possible (within surgical limits) & feel better.

RHINOPLASTY or Nose shaping :- Nose is a prominent feature on the face & a mark of ones personality. In ancient times it was considered to be sign of person's character.
