Revenge Surgery the expensive one..!!

By Dr. Karuna Malhotra 

The pain of getting over an ex is never easy bit now days it seems to be well pricey too.  The trend has been on the rise in the west but it seems to have taken over in India too also. In India the culture of Medical Beauty started long ago when men and women go for Botox, fillers or chin lifts in order to look admirable but the concept has been changed to revenge now. 

Revenge becomes sweet when you look much younger than your spouse who has left you for someone who used to look better than you. Men and women are choosing to go under the knife, sometimes for extreme procedures, and come out as New U and that to make their ex jealous. Having the jilted feeling of losing one’s boyfriend/ husband or girlfriend/wife due to their bad appearance can now leads to take revenge in fact opting for revenge surgery. 

A study has revealed that Personal appearance can be so important to some people that they will go to great lengths to maintain a youthful look. From luring your girlfriend to look young in your son’s marriage to kitty parties every month to corporate lobby parties; Medical Beauty is readily in use everywhere. 

With increasing financial independence and disposable income, women now seem to be going under the knife to move on from that jilted feeling and boost their sense of confidence and self-worth. 

Patients who come to me for such surgeries are often bitter, angry, and jealous over their spouse’s behavior towards them because of their looks. These patients are to be really counseled well. 

The Asian Age

Cosmetic clinics in India are often gets such clientele who wish to undergo cosmetic surgery for such reasons but the patients will reveal such things only when they gets close to the doctor. 

Extramarital affairs are also one such cause for such demands and not only because the husband is seeing someone younger or better looking woman than his wife

but in some cases the woman herself is having an affair with a younger man and wants to improve her appearance. 

More and more people today go for cosmetic procedures as they don't want their partners or husbands to wander away. From tummy tucks to botox to thread lifts to face rejuvenation and chin lifts, they're all part of the 'plan' to look good.

There are few listed treatments which are in demand for revenge surgery:

Restylane Vital Treatment as it rejuvenates the skin by restoring hydrobalance and improving skin elasticity, structure and firmness to create a fresh and natural look. Skin vitality and lustre is restored and skin condition is improved; the skin looks plump and hydrated. Restylane Vital is a smooth, pure, crystal clear gel based on a substance called hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the skin but with age, the function of this acid becomes less effective and by injecting Restylane Vital into the skin, skin elasticity and skin surface roughness are improved. This is widely in demand by the people who has dark complexion and often faces inferiority complex.

Besides slimming treatments like flat abs through mesotherapy and exilis elite, requests for dark circles, lip augmentation, eyebrow lift and jaw line shaping are also rising

Regular diets and salon facials takes lot of time to show results, these quick fixes takes only few hours to give you the desired results. For Eg. Eyebrow lift treatment with botox just take few minutes, whereas chemical peels and photo facials to improve skin tone can be done in 4 to 5 sessions

Revenge Surgery often leads to trauma, depression or anxiety. Looking good this way can be laced with negatives though.  Cosmetic surgery is done to improve your appearance or a deformity, and gain self-confidence. It is not a solution for marital or relationship problems, but often people go for these treatments in order to take revenge which eventually leads them to trauma or mental depression.

It is advisable to visit a good and certified dermatologist/cosmetologist for such procedures.
