Plastic surgery in India has come of
age: Survey
New Delhi: With vanity high on the list
of discretionary spending, even majority of middle class people in India today
are accepting cosmetic plastic
surgery as a valid scientific means of improving appearance,
shows a survey.
The survey conducted by Max Super
Speciality Hospital, Saket, here involved an analysis of the evolving attitude
of more than 700 residents from Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR)
towards cosmetic plastic surgery.
"Cosmetic surgery has existed in
India for more than four decades now but Indians continued to refer to it in
hush-hush tones. However, today, it is not only the uber class but also the
great Indian middle class that is a rising clientele,” said lead researcher
Sunil Choudhary, director, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, Max Super
Speciality Hospital, Saket.
"The survey revealed that 53
percent of the people view cosmetic surgery as an investment. This is a
definite proof that people are now looking at plastic surgery as a valid
scientific means of improving appearance,” Choudhary noted in an official
statement.
The survey results released on
Wednesday showed that over 50 percent of the residents surveyed agreed that
there has been a shift in the attitude of Indians towards plastic surgery and
that the youth between the ages 25-30 are the biggest advocate of cosmetic
plastic surgery as a measure to enhance appearance.
"The rise in demand is seen most
in the 25-30 years age group in my practice,” Choudhary pointed out.
"This is perhaps due to their contemporary modern
outlook, financial independence and an increasing desire to look their best,”
Choudhary explained.

not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all
