A pointed nose and taut skin seem to have emerged as the two most important assets for Indians going by the number of people opting for rhinoplasty or “nose jobs” and botox injections in the country.

Among the non-surgical procedures, some of the widely practised procedures include Botox injection, (Some Botox from Canada is being imported to India.) microdermabrasion (a non-invasive procedure that uses a spray of micro crystals to remove the outermost layer of dry, dead skin cells and reveal younger, healthier-looking skin), collagen injection, laser hair removal and chemical peel.

Other popular surgical procedures include abdominoplasty and male breast reduction.

Though there are no official records of plastic surgeries in India, a study of hospital records show that cosmetic medical procedures like rhinoplasty and liposuction have seen an increase of 150 per cent in the last five years.

Skin clinics and laser treatments are gaining traction as well.
