 Dawn of a New Era

The rise of social media has empowered individuals to become more conscious of their appearance and embrace self-improvement. Influencers and celebrities showcase their transformative journeys, inspiring others to pursue their own aesthetic goals. This increased awareness has led to a growing interest in plastic surgery as a means to enhance one’s natural beauty and boost self-confidence. In the words of Dr Ankit Gupta, a renowned Plastic Surgeon from Delhi, ‘In recent years, we are experiencing a remarkable shift in people’s attitude towards cosmetic procedures. Where earlier, it was a taboo, something our patients used to get and hide, has become much more acceptable, and something to flaunt about. The influence of social media has made people more aware of their appearance and the possibilities of aesthetic enhancements. It’s no longer just celebrities and models seeking surgical solutions; ordinary individuals are increasingly embracing these procedures to boost their self-esteem and align their outer appearance with how they feel’. When asked about the most common procedures they perform, Dr Gupta, explained that at Panache Aesthetics, they perform a variety of treatments, suitable to an individual’s needs. However, when it comes to the most common surgeries, Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery, Liposuction and Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation, Hair Transplant and Gynecomastia are the most sought after procedures.

While plastic surgery can be a powerful tool for boosting self-confidence, it’s important to approach it with caution and realistic expectations. It’s crucial to consult with a qualified and experienced surgeon who can provide honest advice and guide you through the process. Remember, moderation is key. A subtle enhancement can often yield more natural and satisfying results than drastic changes.
