The word “plastic” comes from the Greek for moulding or shaping, and has nothing to do with the material. Plastic surgery is the surgical specialty concerned with the shape and repair of the body’s tissues, and it is usually described in two halves.
Cosmetic, or aesthetic, plastic surgery is chosen to change how a part of the body looks: the nose, breasts, abdomen or face, for example. Reconstructive plastic surgery restores form and function lost or altered by injury, burns, cancer treatment or a condition present from birth. The same techniques often serve both purposes, which is why one surgeon can work across them.
People consult plastic surgeons for very different reasons: a nose that affects breathing as well as appearance, loose skin after major weight loss, enlarged breast tissue in men, a scar that has healed badly. What they share is that the right answer depends on the individual. That is why assessment and planning come before any decision about a procedure, and why this page introduces the options rather than recommending one.
Explore seven areas of plastic surgery, each with its own procedures and considerations. A consultation with Dr. Amit Kr. Choudhary helps determine which options may be suitable for your anatomy, concerns and goals.
Procedures to reshape or restore facial features, including the nose, eyelids, chin, cheeks, lips and ears. Treatment is planned around facial proportions and individual goals.
Includes: Rhinoplasty, facelift, eyelid surgery, chin augmentation, buccal fat removal and ear reconstruction.
Explore facial plastic surgerySurgical options to enlarge, reduce or lift the breasts. The appropriate approach depends on your anatomy, personal preferences and, in some cases, physical discomfort.
Includes: Breast augmentation, breast reduction and breast lift.
Explore breast surgery optionsProcedures that address stubborn fat deposits or excess skin, including changes following significant weight loss or pregnancy. Body contouring is intended to reshape specific areas rather than provide weight loss.
Includes: Liposuction, arm lift, thigh lift and buttock contouring.
Explore body contouring proceduresAbdominal procedures address excess fat, loose skin or weakened muscles. A consultation helps identify the concern and determine which surgical approach may be appropriate.
Includes: Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), liposuction and combined procedures where suitable.

Symmetrica offers a range of plastic surgery options for the face, breasts and body. Each procedure has its own purpose, recovery considerations and risks. A consultation with Dr. Amit Kr. Choudhary helps determine which options may be suitable for your individual needs.
Facial surgery requires careful planning because even small changes can affect the balance between facial features. The nose, chin, cheeks, eyelids and jawline are considered in relation to one another to plan an approach that suits your facial proportions and goals.
Rhinoplasty changes the shape, size or proportions of the nose. Depending on the individual's needs, surgery may address the nasal bridge, tip or internal structures that affect breathing.
Explore rhinoplastyA facelift addresses selected signs of ageing in the lower face, including sagging skin and changes around the jawline. The surgical plan depends on facial anatomy and the desired degree of change.
Explore facelift surgeryEyelid surgery addresses excess skin or changes in the eyelid area. Blepharoplasty techniques, including Asian eyelid surgery, are selected according to eyelid anatomy and individual goals.
Explore eyelid surgeryFacial contouring includes procedures intended to alter selected facial proportions. Depending on the treatment plan, options may include chin augmentation, buccal fat removal and other facial reshaping procedures.
Explore facial contouringBreast augmentation, reduction and lift are different operations with distinct aims. The choice depends on your anatomy, personal goals, preferences regarding scars and recovery, and any physical discomfort associated with breast size.
Breast augmentation aims to increase breast volume or change breast shape. The approach depends on individual anatomy and the treatment plan discussed during consultation.
Breast reduction removes breast tissue and reshapes the breasts. For some patients, it may also help address physical discomfort associated with very large breasts.
A breast lift raises and reshapes breasts that have lost firmness or position. It may sometimes be combined with augmentation or reduction, depending on individual requirements.
Gynecomastia is enlargement of breast tissue in men. It may involve excess fat, glandular tissue or both. Depending on the cause, treatment may involve liposuction, removal of glandular tissue or a combination. An assessment helps identify contributing factors and appropriate options.
Explore gynecomastia surgeryAbdominal and body contouring procedures address different concerns, including excess fat, loose skin and changes in abdominal muscle structure. These procedures reshape selected areas rather than serve as weight-loss treatments.
A tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, removes excess abdominal skin and may remove some fat and tighten weakened abdominal muscles where appropriate.
Explore tummy tuck surgeryLiposuction removes localised fat deposits to reshape selected areas. It does not treat significant loose skin or replace weight management.
Body contouring may include procedures such as arm lift, thigh lift and buttock contouring to address specific areas. Suitability depends on anatomy, health and treatment goals.
Explore body contouringScar revision aims to improve the appearance or flexibility of selected scars caused by surgery, injury or other conditions. The approach depends on the scar's location, age, type and individual healing history.
Keloids grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound and may return after treatment. Management depends on the size, location and history of the scar. Treatment may involve non-surgical approaches, injections, laser or surgery where suitable.
Not every cosmetic concern requires surgery. Some concerns may be addressed with non-surgical treatments, depending on the condition of the skin, underlying tissue and individual goals.
Surgery can alter underlying structures, remove excess tissue or reshape selected areas. It generally involves recovery time and carries risks such as bleeding, infection, scarring and complications related to anaesthesia.
Depending on the concern, options may include Botox, dermal fillers, HydraFacial, chemical peels, microneedling, radiofrequency skin tightening and laser treatments. Results, duration and recovery vary by treatment.
Explore skin treatmentsThe right approach depends on your goals, anatomy, medical history and realistic expectations. A consultation helps you understand the available options, potential risks and recovery requirements before making a decision.
Your first consultation is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, understand suitable treatment options and ask questions. It is not a commitment to undergo surgery.
You explain what concerns you, what you would like to change and what you hope to achieve. This conversation helps the surgeon understand your expectations and the areas you want to address.
Your medical and surgical history, current medicines, allergies, smoking habits, weight changes and previous treatments are reviewed to understand factors that may affect treatment planning, safety and recovery.
The surgeon examines the area you want to address and assesses relevant anatomical features and tissue quality. Your overall health is also considered where necessary to understand which procedures may be appropriate.
You learn about suitable procedures, their potential benefits, limitations, possible risks and expected recovery. Non-surgical alternatives and the option of not undergoing treatment are also considered where appropriate.
If treatment is appropriate, the surgeon discusses the proposed plan, preparation and timing. If a procedure is unsuitable, alternative options or further assessment may be suggested. You are not expected to make a decision on the day.
Book a consultation at Symmetrica in Siliguri to discuss your concerns, understand your options and get answers to your questions from the surgeon before deciding on treatment.
Recovery depends on the procedure, your health and how your body heals. Your surgeon will guide you through each stage of the recovery process.
Recovery varies from one procedure to another. Recovering from liposuction can look quite different from recovering after a tummy tuck, facelift or breast lift. Swelling and bruising are common after many operations, and your activity may need to be restricted for a period depending on the procedure.
Follow-up appointments help your surgeon monitor healing and address any concerns. Results usually develop gradually as swelling settles and tissues heal. The final appearance may take several months, depending on the operation and individual healing.
Recovery timelines depend on the procedure, your general health and how closely aftercare instructions are followed. Your surgeon will explain activity restrictions, wound care, follow-up visits and the expected recovery period specific to your operation.
Plastic surgery is individual. The right procedure depends on your anatomy, medical history, expectations, risk factors and the recovery time your lifestyle can accommodate. A website can introduce available options, but it cannot replace a personal examination. A consultation helps you understand suitable treatments, realistic outcomes, possible risks and alternatives before making a decision.
Discuss your goals and concerns with the Symmetrica team and learn about the options that may be suitable for you.

A plastic surgeon is trained to reshape or rebuild parts of the body for cosmetic reasons, to restore form and function after injury or illness, or both. The work includes assessing the patient, planning and performing procedures, and managing recovery. Not every concern requires surgery, and a consultation can help determine whether a surgical or non-surgical approach is appropriate.
Symmetrica offers facial procedures such as rhinoplasty, facelift and eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, breast reduction and breast lift, gynecomastia surgery, tummy tuck, liposuction, body contouring and fat grafting. The suitability of each procedure depends on your anatomy, health and goals. Individual procedure pages provide more information about suitability, recovery and potential risks.
Cosmetic plastic surgery focuses on changing appearance, while reconstructive surgery aims to restore form and function affected by injury, illness or congenital conditions. Dr. Amit Kr. Choudhary's profile includes cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. A consultation can clarify whether your concern falls within the procedures available at Symmetrica.
Dr. Amit Kr. Choudhary is a plastic surgeon at Symmetrica with MBBS, MS and M.Ch (Plastic Surgery) qualifications. His areas of practice include cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, along with trauma, burn and hand surgery. Please visit his doctor profile for further information about his qualifications and professional experience.
A personal assessment is necessary to determine which procedure, if any, may be suitable for you. The surgeon considers your anatomy, medical history, goals, risk factors and recovery requirements. Available options, including non-surgical treatments and the option of not having surgery, can then be discussed. A procedure should not be selected solely on the basis of photographs or online information.
Every operation carries potential risks, including bleeding, infection, scarring, reactions to anaesthesia and results that differ from expectations. Careful patient selection, a qualified surgeon, appropriate facilities and proper aftercare help manage these risks, but cannot eliminate them completely. Your surgeon should explain the risks specific to your procedure and health before you provide consent.
Recovery depends on the procedure and your individual healing. Some operations require only a few days away from routine activities, while others may require several weeks before normal activities can resume. Swelling and bruising may occur, and final results can take months to develop. Your surgeon will provide recovery guidance specific to your operation.
