A new dimension of the medical field taking off in India is cosmetic surgery which utilises some of the latest techniques in corrective procedures. Some disfigurations corrected include hair restoration (hair implants, hair flaps, and scalp reductions), rhinoplasties (reshaping or recontouring of the nose), stalling of the aging process (face life, cosmetic eyelid surgery, brow lift, sub-metal lipectomy for double chin), demabrasions (sanding of the face,) otoplasty for protruding ears, chin and cheek enlargement, lip reductions, various types of breast surgery and reconstruction and liposuction.
Non-invasive surgical procedures like streotactic radiosurgery and radiotherapy for brain tumours are practised successfully.
Medical Tourism in India for Dental Care

Please find below a small cost comparison of dental treatment procedures between USA and India. There is a huge difference between the pricing (about 7/8 times when we speak of Top-end dentists).
