About Us
Man was happy with his god given body. However flat, be the
nose, or small the chin, or however be his progressive obesity,
but then nothing was possible, nor was he bothered. But, today
man has become conscious of his body and to a great extent is
willing to adapt techniques for improvement. He desires and
often contemplates as to how one can increase or decrease his
weight, or even how to look prettier or even how to brighten
ones complexion. The fashion magazines and beauty parlours are
able to help the beauty conscious people to achieve their goal,
and moreover improvements to the complexion, hair, nose, breasts,
and use of cosmetics and herbal drugs have been described by
many through the years. Even the problem of weight could be
solved by diet and exercise, but there was no way to bring a
change to original construction of the body or face. However
we now know that cosmetic surgery today, cannot only improve
the appearance but can also change the face nose is more popular
now. Face-lift or Rhinoplasty that tightens the loose skin of
the face to reduce the age, is specially useful to the people
of the glamour world. Even the ordinary individual or those
seeking promotions are trying to conceal their age now with
the help of face lifting operations. Another surgery gradually
gaining popularity is blepheroplasty. This helps in removing
the stored fat around the eyes. It is also true accurately and
permanently and can help in increasing the beauty of any part
of the face and body.
