India - An Emerging Destination : India has been fast emerging as a leading provider of quality cosmetic care travel offers, comparable service standards and pricing advantage. The most sought-after services in India from across the borders are laser, botox and fillers. Cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists say tourists in the age group of 20 to 30 years come for rhinoplasty (nose job) and liposuction, while those between 30 to 40 come to treat baggy eyelids. Those over 40 come for tummy tucks and face lifts. Other preferred make-overs include Breast Enhancement, Breast reduction, Breast Surgery, Hair Treatments, Brow Lifts, Eyelid Surgery, Cosmetic Dentistry, Face Lift Surgery, Abdominoplasty, Facial Implants, Blepharoplasty, Forehead Lift Surgery, Breast Augmentation, Gynecomastia, Breast Lift Surgery, Liposuction and Otoplasty. Americans are the biggest clients, followed by tourists from Eastern Europe, Far-East and even Japan. In fact, in the United States, cosmetic surgery is a luxury many middle-class Americans can’t afford. With naturopathy therapies such as ayurveda being well-accepted abroad, cosmetic tourism only seems a natural progression in India and is fast catching up in neighbourhood Srilanka.
