History of plastic surgery in India

On August 17, 2011 · Comments Off

The earliest replantations were done by Lord Shiva by attaching an elephant’s head on his son’s body and by Ashwini Kumars who successfully replanted the severed head of Yagna. Thus the history of plastic surgery in India dates as far back or before the Vedic times nearly 4000 years ago.

Brahma, the creator of the universe evolved, Ayurveda (the science of life) by meditation and imparted it to Daksha Prajapati, who in turn taught the Ashwini Kumars (twin gods). Lord Indra, the celestial ruler, learnt it from Ashwini Kumars and in turn passed on the knowledge to many rishis, namely, Sage Bharadwaja (Guru of Atreya), and King Divadaasa of Banaras (Lord Dhanvantri). Sushruta, who was Vishwamitra’s son, along with others approached Dhanvantri and requested him to accept them as his “shishyas” and teach them the science of Ayurveda.

Sushruta Samhita is believed to be part of one of the four Vedas (part of Atharva-veda) and was written by Sushruta in approximately 600 BC compiling what he had learnt from his Guru Dhanwantri and his predecessors. It is said that Sushruta taught surgery at the Banaras University.[2]He has very succinctly described the reconstruction of the nose by cheek flap, repair of cut earlobe, piercing of earlobe, repair of cut lip, skin grafting, classification of burns, wound care and wound healing. Sushruta has been rightly called the “Father of Plastic Surgery” and “Hippocrates” of the 6th or 7th century BC. He described rhinoplasty for a cut nose as follows:[1],[2]
1) The leaf of a creeper, long and broad enough to fully cover the whole of the severed or clipped off part, should be gathered,
2) A patch of living flesh, equal in dimension to the preceding leaf should be sliced off from the region of the cheek.
3) After scarifying the severed nose with a knife, the flesh is swiftly adhered to it.
4) Insert two small pipes in the nostrils to facilitate respiration and to prevent flesh from hanging down.
5) The adhesioned part is dusted with the powders of Pattanga, Yashtimadhukam and Rasanjana pulverized
together.
6) The nose should be enveloped in Karpasa cotton and several times sprinkled over with the refined oil of pure sesamum.
7) When the healing is complete and parts have united, remove the excess skin.”
Even in those days he had emphasised the accurate cutting of the pattern to the size of the defect, the accurate cutting and suturing of the flap to the nose and maintaince of airway with tubes.
Frank McDowell has very aptly described Sushruta in the book “The source book of plastic surgery”[2] as follows: 
Through all of Sushruta’s flowery language, incantations and irrelevancies, there shines the unmistakable picture of a great surgeon. Undaunted by his failures, unimpressed by his successes, he sought the truth unceasingly and passed it on to those who followed. He attacked disease and deformity definitively, with reasoned and logical methods. When the path did not exist, he made one.”
There was a second method of rhinoplasty in India as practiced by Tilemakers. This involved using a free graft from the buttock. The skin and the underlying tissue of the shape of the defect on the nose was beaten with wooden slippers and applied on the defect with some “cement”
In the 4th century, another scholar named Vaghbat wrote Ashtanga Sangraha and Ashtanga Hridyans. In Ashtanga Hridyans, he described rhinoplasty as done by Maharishi Atreya and emphasized the need for the provision of an inner lining by turning down the nasal skin.
The classical cheek flap rhinoplasty of Sushruta and Vaghbat was later modified by using a rotation flap from the adjacent forehead, The Traditional Indian Method of Rhinoplasty. This was kept a secret for centuries in India, and practiced by Marattas of Kumar near Poona, certain Nepaly families and Kanghairas of Kangra (Himachal Pradesh).

]]>

Dr. S. C. Almast personally met the last Hakim of Kangra, Mr. Dinanath Kanghaira whose family was practicing the art of rhinoplasty since the war of Kurukshetra and at Kangra since 1440 AD. Those with cut noses and deformed noses due to leprosy and syphilis were operated by them. The patient was given wine to drink to put him to sleep (since anesthesia did not exist in those days). A pattern of the defect was made on a paper. A handkerchief was tied around the neck to make the veins of the forehead prominent, and the flap was marked including the vein on the forehead (in the pedicle between the eyebrows). The forehead flap was folded in itself to form the inner lining.
The knowledge of rhinoplasty spread from India to Arabia and Persia and from there to Egypt and Italy in the 15th century. The first translation of Sushruta Samhita was in Latin by Hessler in 1844 and in Arabic by Ibn Abi Usaybia (1203-1269 AD) and later into German by Vellurs. Bhishagratna translated it in English in 1907.
Although Britishers lived in India for a long time, they were not aware of Indian Rhinoplasty till 1793. Mr. James Findlay and Mr. Thomas Crusoe who were surgeons at the British Residency in Poona in 1793 witnessed the operation on “Cowasjee” and reported the details of the operation in the Madras Gazette. The same operation on Cowasjee was later published in Gentleman’s magazine, London, Oct. 1794 by a letter from Mr. Lucas as follows: “Cowasjee, a Mahratta of the caste of the husbandmen, he was a bullock driver with the English Army in the war of 1792, and was made prisoner by Tipu Sultan, who cut off his nose and one of his hands. He joined the Bombay Army near Seringapatam. For about 1 year he remained without a nose, when he had a new one put on by a man of the Brickmaker (potter’s) caste near Poona”.
Towards the end of the 19th century, two important works were published in India. One was titled “Rhinoplasty” by Tribhovandas Motichand Shah in 1889, who was then the Chief Medical Officer of Junagadh. He described over a hundred cases treated by him in 4 years and gave minute operative details and discussed the advantages of forehead rhinoplasty. He used paper to make a pattern and used anesthesia. (Till now there was no mention of anaesthesia. Patients were just given wine to drink before surgery.) His name became a legend and it was said that “Kalu cuts the nose and Tribhovan reconstructs it”. Kalu was a local dacoit of that time who used to cut off people’s noses. The other book was “Rhinoplasty operations, with a description of recent improvements in the Indian method” by Keegan in 1900. Even today, the western world gives credit to India for rhinoplasty called as the Indian Rhinoplasty. This of course, later received a few modifications, but the basic principles as laid down by Sushruta remain the same.

Plastic Surgery in modem India owes a great deal to Sir Harold Gillies, Eric Peet and B.K. Rank for developing this speciality. In 1945, two Indian maxillofacial surgical units were established. No.l unit at Kirkee under Fitzgibbon and later under Gibson. No. 2 unit was at Secunderabad under Eric Peet. In 1946, Dr. C. Balakrishnan was posted at the No. 1 unit. The two units later merged to form a maxillofacial center for the Indian Army at Bangalore.
In 1950, the first two Plastic Surgery departments were established in India. One at Patna under Dr. R. N. Sinha and the other at Nagpur under Dr. C. Balakrishnan. Sir Harold Gillies paid a visit to India and he was pleased with the work being done by Indian surgeons, especially Major Sukh, at the Armed Forces Medical College, Pune.
In 1955, the Govt. of India invited Mr. B. K. Rank, from Australia, to advise on the development of Plastic Surgery in India. He welcomed the idea of forming a plastic surgery section of Association of Surgeons of India. In 1957 Sir Harold Gillies visited India again. During his visit to Pune, he demonstrated various operations and techniques. He visited and lectured at several centres in various parts of the country, namely, Calcutta, Delhi, Patna, Jaipur and lastly Nagpur where he formally inaugurated the Plastic Surgery section of Association of Surgeons of India. The members were Dr. R. N. Cooper, Dr. C. Balakrishnan, Dr. M. Mukerjee, Dr. R. N. Sharma, Dr. N. H. Antia, and Dr. Hiveda.The late Dr. C. Balkrishnan, was a devoted and dynamic plastic surgeon. He succeeded in establishing the first Department of Plastic and Maxillofacial surgery at the Govt. Medical College and Hospital, Nagpur. M. S. degree in Plastic Surgery was started in 1960, for the first time in India. Dr. Balkrishnan described Z-plasty for the nasal lining in cleft palate, classification of cleft lip and palate called as the “Nagpur Classification” and skin grafting in total avulsion of testes. In the same year, another department of Plastic Surgery was established at Patna under Dr. R. N. Sinha. Later, two more departments were started at Calcutta under Dr. M. Mukerjee and at Lucknow under Dr. R. N. Sharma.
Dr. Antia, the 3rd generation trained Plastic Surgeon under Sir Harold Gillies worked at theLeprosy home in Khandala (near Pune) in 1958. He was the first surgeon to succeed in the integration of leprosy in general hospital practice. The unit at Sir. J. J. Hospital, Mumbai, was started in 1959 under Dr. N. H. Antia. In 1964, Tata Trusts provided a substantial grant to carry out two projects – one on Leprosy and other on Burns. The world’s first microvascular surgery on humans, a free flap transfer using microvascular anastomosis was done in 1966 by Dr. Antia and Dr. Buch (Scandinavian journal of Plastic surgery 1977).
In 1961, another plastic surgery unit in Mumbai was established at K. E. M. Hospital, under Dr. Charles Pinto. Eric Peet from Oxford was a regular visitor to this department for the first 3 months. Dr. Pinto advocated one stage repair of cleft lip and palate, called as the “Hole-in-one” procedure. In 1964 one more department was started in Mumbai at G. T. Hospital, under Dr. R. J. Manekshaw.
In 1963, Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi started a department of Burns, Plastic and maxillofacial surgery, with Dr. J. L. Gupta, as its head. Gradually, multiple centers in Plastic Surgery were established all over the country and various associations were formed.
In 1971, Burns Association of India was formed during the 1st Congress of Burns at the J. J. Hospital. Dr. M. H. Keswani was the Secretary. Later under his leadership, the Burns Association flourished with contributions like potato peel dressings, prevention campaigns by way of radio and TV talks, small documentary ads, etc. “Pour water on Bums” has received worldwide popularity.
In 1974, Indian society of surgery of the hand was formed with Dr. Ashok Sen Gupta as the president. A hand surgery unit was started at the Stanley Medical College at Madras under Dr. R. Venkataswami. Today it is one of the biggest and best hand surgery units in the world. Indian Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery was also formed at Madras in 1992 with Dr. R. Venkataswamy as the president.
The contributions made by various Plastic Surgeons in India are numerous by way of devising new instruments, research and publications (papers and books). To mention all is beyond the scope of this paper. Today every state in India has multiple plastic surgery training centres. Each centre trains a number of postgraduate students every year who have spread all over India and abroad serving the community to their fullest. The specialty continues to grow and advance in all the fields of Plastic Surgery.

Average Plastic Surgery Costs in India

On July 6, 2011 · Comments Off

When considering elective cosmetic or plastic surgery is: What will it cost? How do you know if the surgeon you are consulting is charging too much or too little? Price varies from surgeon to surgeon, depending on the details of the procedure, the region of the country, and patient’s general health. What follows are some typical costs for the most popular procedures.

The five most popular cosmetic surgeries for women in 2007 according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery are: breast augmentation, lipoplasty, eyelid surgery, abdominoplasty and breast reduction.

In 2007 cosmetic surgeons performed nearly 400,000 breast augmentation surgeries. Typically the patient chooses between silicone implants and saline implants. Silcone implants averaged between 13 and 87. Likewise surgeons performed 150,000 breast reductions last year. In 2007 breast reduction procedures averaged about 50.

Costs of abdominoplasty, commonly known as a “tummy-tuck” average between 50 and 50. The cost of suction-assisted lipoplasty averaged around 00, while the ultra-sound assisted ranged closer to 00. Finally eyelid surgery also known as bleharoplasty will set a patient back abut 00.

The five most popular cosmetic surgeries for men were: liposuction, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, male breast reduction, and hair transplants. The costs for liposuction, eyelid surgery, and breast reduction are the same irrespective of gender. Rhinoplasty (nose reduction) costs around 00 and hair transplants about 00.

Plastic surgery is generally performed for either aesthetics or restorative surgery purpose. It deals with altering or rejuvenating the facial and bodily features that have been damaged in accident or because of some congenital defect. It could also be performed to alter facial features that the individuals are not comfortable with. A plastic surgery that has gone awry is known as a bad plastic surgery.

This is typically due to errors in the surgical procedures. It could also result because of wrong choices by either the patient or surgeon before the procedure. It is very easy to identify bad facial surgery, as it is visible and obvious. In case of facelifts that have become tight, it is apparent in the form of asymmetrical and tight appearance of face muscles. As a result of bad plastic surgery of the face, patients at times lose the mobility of facial features and it also hampers the sensation due to damaged nerves.

It is possible to make amends in a bad surgery by re-working the problem with another corrective surgery. However, serious problems as the case of a bad rhinoplasty are almost impossible to amend. It is important to note that repair job can only be done if there is enough tissue left for it. It is easier to camouflage plastic surgery that has gone bad in other unexposed parts of the body rather than the face.

Some of the effects of surgery gone askew are excessive scarring, deformation and in severe cases paralysis. Bad surgeries cause a lot of emotional and psychological damage to the patients. They enter into a guilt complex and feel that it was deserved, and a reprisal for their vanity of going for the surgery.

Skin that contains stretch marks on the lower abdomen may be removed as well.

During a procedure, the surgeon manually tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall and sutures them into place.

The abdominoplasty procedure can be customized to each patient’s specific goals and may include liposuction or be combined with other body lift procedure.

Most patients find that tummy tuck procedure benefits, which include a more streamlined figure and increased self-confidence, dramatically outweigh the risks.

The vast majority of patients who undergo an abdominoplasty procedure are thrilled with their results. Most surgeons are able to place the incisions so that the resulting scars are barely visible and most scars can be concealed by a typical bathing suit. Following abdominoplasty, patients enjoy a firmer, more toned midsection and improved posture as a result of the tightening of abdominal muscles.

What is ?

is a surgical procedure which is usually performed by an otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon, maxillofacial surgeon or plastic surgeon in order to improve the function (reconstructive surgery) or the appearance (cosmetic surgery) of a human nose. Rhinoplasty is also commonly called “nose reshaping” or “nose job”. Rhinoplasty can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes to correct trauma, birth defects or breathing problems. Rhinoplasty can be combined with other surgical procedures such as chin augmentation to enhance the aesthetic results.

 

How is performed?

begins when the Rhinoplasty surgeon makes an incision either inside the nose or across the skin that separates the nostrils (this skin is called the columella). Without the need of making any exterior incisions, the surgeon reaches the cartilage and bone located under the skin; he may rasp or trim them with special instruments to give the nose the desired shape and size. In more complex cases, where deeper modifications are needed, it may be necessary to perform a little cut across the columella (the tissue that divides the nostrils) to access the bone. The shape and width of the nostrils may also be modified. This is done by means of two incisions at the base of the nose wings, these incisions become imperceptible soon after the surgery.

 

Revision :

When mistakes are made during a procedure or when patients are simply so dissatisfied with the results of their procedure that they cannot accept them, revision Rhinoplasty is the answer. Though following the initial nose surgery, the tissue usually must be allowed to heal for some time before a revision procedure may be undertaken, nevertheless significant improvements may be seen through revision Rhinoplasty.

 

Ethnic :

Ethnic is a nose surgery designed to improve aesthetics while still maintaining ethnic characteristics. People with the same ethnic backgrounds tend to have similarities in their nasal features; some have particularly wide bases, while others might be more pronounced. Ethnic can preserve or enhance these characteristics depending on your taste.

 

Result of surgery:

It must be taken into account that it is not possible to make any definite judgment about the results of a before 6 or 8 months. We may say that in these cases patience is a virtue that is rewarded with a harmonious and proportionate nose that completely changes the overall appearance of the face in a very favorable way. Patients who have been able to achieve an adequate understanding with their surgeons have obtained very positive results and today they are happy and satisfied with the changes.

These shells are made of a silicone elastomer and the implants are filled with salt water (saline) after the implant is placed in the body. Silicone gel implants: Silicone implants are generally described in terms of five generations which segregate common characteristics of manufacturing techniques.

Breast Implant pocket placement:

The placement of implants is described in relation to the pectoralis major muscle.

Subglandular- implant between the breast tissue and the pectoralis muscle.
Subfascialthe implant is placed in the subglandular position, but underneath the fascia of the pectoralis muscle.
Subpectoral (“dual plane”) – the implant is placed underneath the pectoralis major muscle after releasing the inferior muscular attachments.
Submuscular – the implant is placed below the pectoralis without release of the inferior origin of the muscle.

Recovery from :

Depending on the level of activity required, patients are generally able to resume normal activity in approximately one week’s time. Women who have their implants placed underneath the muscle (submuscular placement) will generally have a longer recovery time and experience slightly more pain due to the muscle being cut during surgery. Exercise and strenuous physical activity will often need to be avoided for up to six weeks.
