Celebrity Secrets: Latest Plastic Surgery Trends in Bollywood

The Bollywood industry has long been synonymous with glamour, glitz and perfection, where facial and body beauty play a pivotal role. Hence, the role of plastic cosmetic surgery procedures is of utmost importance. Many actors and actresses resorted to plastic surgeries to enhance their looks and appearance, influencing their fans and followers. However, the common masses following the trends sparked a lot of discussions about beauty standards, self-acceptance and the impact of societal pressures on personal choices. Of course, there is more behind the silver screen, which sets trends for the common people and should be a topic of discussion as the industry has captivated audiences across the world and has caught the attention of fans and media alike. As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Bangalore, I have dealt with several celebrity clients who often ask for transformational procedures that enhance their features and give them a look without drastic changes, in line with the global trend of embracing individuality. However, in 2024, the latest plastic surgery trends in Bollywood reflect a shift towards more subtle aesthetic enhancements, to achieve natural-looking results rather than an over-the-top look. Bollywood plastic surgery encompasses various procedures that are performed for various aesthetic purposes. However, some of the most popular plastic surgery trends in Bollywood include:

1. Rhinoplasty or nose surgery:Rhinoplasty is a popular procedure in Bollywood as it improves the shape, size and contour of the nose which is a central concern of the face. If we look at and compare the profile pictures of actors like Tapsee Pannu, Jhanvi Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty when they entered Bollywood and now, one notices improvements in their nose features, only for the better. Tapsee Pannu, for instance, has a slimmer and smaller nose with good aesthetic features compared to the profile of her nose when she entered South Indian cinema in the past. Her new nose enhances her overall facial features. Shruthi Hasan has always been one celebrity who openly spoke about her nose job and how it changed her perspective on how she felt. Celebrities who received the best nose job have embraced the procedure and now accept that subtle changes to the nose can significantly affect overall facial harmony, boosting confidence as well.
2. Breast augmentation:Many actresses have opted for breast augmentation surgeries to improve the shape and size of their breasts, adding more confidence and appeal to their profile. A more voluptuous figure with fuller breasts, based on their professional demands. The buzzword in Bollywood was Disha Patani getting breast implants, and probably when we compare her older photos, we can see a significant change in the profile of her breasts, which could be an implant augmentation.
3. Liposuction/Abdominoplasty:It has always been a very age-old tool for quick body contouring, not just for Bollywood celebrities but also for the common man or woman of today. It helps in removing stubborn fat deposits from localized body areas and helps in achieving the desired silhouette i.e. six pack abs in men and an hourglass figure profile in women. We use advanced 4D VASER liposuction, which helps in removing stubborn fat from targeted areas, sculpting the figure with an aesthetic contour and desired skin firming benefits.
4. Facelift:Facelifts are a popular choice among celebrities concerned about aging. The Bollywood industry's dedication to maintaining a youthful appearance is evident; however, to counteract the signs of aging, many actors and actresses undergo facelifts (whether surgical or non-surgical, such as thread lifts) to achieve a more youthful appearance.
5. Definition of jaw and chin surgery/genioplasty:A good jawline has become the buzzword in Bollywood circles, and audiences come to me these days mostly concerned about their face profile and how the jawline affects their overall facial appearance. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers have emerged as the quickest way to contour the jawline and enhance chin projection. Chin augmentation and jawline surgeries are the most common plastic surgery procedures for those who want more permanent results. Chin surgeries can be performed by using chin implants or by repositioning the bone that supports the chin. Many celebrities have had nose jobs and combined it with chin augmentation, because the symmetry of the nose and chin profile is crucial for an ideal facial aesthetic balance.
6. Fat grafting: In 2024, fat grafting is very popular for body and facial contouring where more volume is required i.e. buttocks, breasts, lips or face. Fat grafting is the latest trend due to its risk-free nature and proven results as the patient's own body fat is used for contouring. Fat grafting can address a variety of issues from aging to contouring and scar reduction to redefining the jawline and neck for the ultimate camera-friendly facial profile.

These trends reflect Bollywood’s dedication to maintaining a polished yet more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The industry’s growing preference for bespoke enhancements is a testament to its commitment to perfection, and the role of plastic surgery in achieving this is significant.
