The Consultant-In-Charge Dr. Aniruddha Bose has a special interest in Cosmetic Surgery. Cosmetic Surgery is an art. With all other surgery, the successful completion of the operation without post-operative complications ends the story. In Cosmetic Surgery, that is where the expertise begins. Anyone can look at it and judge the job is well or not done. That is where the experience and artistic talent of the surgeon comes in.

To understand cosmetic surgery one has to be familiar with the concepts of beauty pertaining to a particular culture at a particular time. Re-modelling a nose or contouring a breast is dependant on concepts of the profile of the individual in relation to her socio-cultural background.Beauty has different forms of embalming on its basic skeletal structure. However its definitions and visualisation varies from country to country, from civilisation to civilisation, from culture to culture and from generation to generation.

And giving this concept a human form, with art and sculpture, without taking away the ethnic characteristics, is what cosmetic surgery is all about…..
