The Scalpel Saga

Everybody’s game

Dr. VenkateshBangalore for one is a city that seems to have grown a fetish for nose jobs. Known as Rhinoplasty more scientifically, nose jobs seem to be the new makeover mantra for the city. And if it’s rhinoplasty you’re talking of, you couldn’t possibly miss out on Dr. M.S Venkatesh’s name. The doctor, who is well known for his rhinoplasty successes, claims how Bangaloreans have developed a special corner for aesthetic surgery, nose jobs being their topmost priority. Dr. Venkatesh speaks of an elderly Kannadiga who opted for rhinoplasty at the age of 60 because other responsibilities did not let him fulfill the aspiration of getting a sharper nose. If Dr. Venkatesh’s words are not enough to make you sure, Dr. Udaya Shankar’s opinions can definitely change your mind. According to this plastic surgery specialist in an interview with the Times of India, most takers have their eyes set on a “small, straight and thin” nose. Dr Mozzaferry, though, believes rhinoplasty takers could be more had it not been for the apprehension that others may find out the truth behind the enhanced appearance!

Coming in a close second to Rhinoplasty in popularity is liposuction. The city has people coming in from far off places to get going with figure correction. Outside India, a simple liposuction procedure could cost a fortune whereas within the country you could have cost worries slashed to a great extent. Dr Mozzaferry says, “Bangalore’s inexpensive not only when you compare it with other countries but also with the rest of the important cities in India. While in Bangalore a liposuction procedure could cost 80, 000 rupees in other cities like Delhi and Mumbai, it could cost exactly double! As for international comparisons, Bangalore charges 30% of what the US or UK charges.”

Since the trend of getting plastic surgeries is catching up rapidly, there are other procedures that have come up to give rhinoplasty and liposuction a run for their money. Face lifts, thread lifts, cheek and chin augmentation, fillers and breast augmentation have completely flooded the Bangalore plastic surgery scene. Thread lifts are a comparatively newer variety of plastic surgery available now. Unlike face lifts that cater to major age related sagging, thread lifts serve minor problems over a lesser area. The newest entrant in this race, according to Mozzaferry, is scar revision. Bangaloreans, it seems, do not want the slightest blemishes to show and scars, in that case, are unforgivable.
