The Rising Trend of Cosmetic Procedures in Bollywood
As public fascination with celebrity appearances grows, leading cosmetic surgeon Dr. Vikram Singh Rathore has pulled back the curtain on Bollywood’s increasing reliance on aesthetic enhancements. In an exclusive interview, he revealed why stars—especially actresses—are turning to surgical and non-surgical treatments to maintain their glamorous looks.
Why Bollywood Actresses Opt for Cosmetic Surgery
Dr. Rathore explains that female celebrities face immense pressure to defy aging and preserve camera-ready features. The most sought-after procedures include:
✔ Facial Rejuvenation
- Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) for brighter eyes
- Rhinoplasty for nose reshaping
- Fillers/Botox to reduce wrinkles
✔ Body Contouring
- Liposuction for stubborn fat removal
- Tummy tucks post-pregnancy
- Breast lifts or reductions for proportionality
“Stars are extremely conscious about sagging skin, double chins, and blemishes. They want to look flawless—both on and off screen.” — Dr. Rathore
The “Mommy Makeover” Phenomenon
Why Post-Pregnancy Surgeries Are Booming
Many actresses struggle with body changes after childbirth, leading to:
- Career anxiety
- Postpartum depression
- Loss of self-confidence
Dr. Rathore’s “Mommy Makeover” package combats these issues through:
- Breast Lift – Restores pre-pregnancy firmness
- Abdominoplasty – Tightens stretched abdominal muscles
- Liposuction – Targets stubborn post-baby fat
A Life-Changing Transformation
The surgeon shared an emotional case:
*A 32-year-old mother of twins fell into severe depression, even contemplating suicide due to her changed physique. After her makeover, she tearfully thanked him with flowers just two weeks later—regaining not just her body, but her will to live.*

While some deny procedures, others embrace transparency:
- Janhvi Kapoor – Admitted to lip fillers for a plumper pout
