Dr Debraj Shome - Best Plastic Surgeon in India

Advancements in technology have broadened the scope of plastic surgery. Cosmetic surgery is a vast and diverse field. Plastic surgery is the branch of medicine that deals with the correction of head-to-toe disfigurement or other physical anomalies to improve a person’s appearance.  It is performed for various reconstructive and aesthetic purposes.

Many people today in the age group of 35 to 50 are opting for plastic surgery such as liposuction, hair transplant, abdominoplasty, and many more.

While earlier a lot of people used to go abroad for these types of surgeries, many people have now started undertaking these plastic surgeries in the country itself. Due to the medicinal development, trained medical professionals, and technological advancements in India, many people are opting for plastic surgery here itself.
