Dr. Vijay Sharma outlines 11 "Golden Rules of Beauty" based on facial features and proportions that are considered universally attractive. These include having an oval face, equal length of face above and below the nose, high cheekbones, convex rather than concave facial features, and balanced proportions between parts of the face and body. He argues that modern society puts immense pressure on individuals to conform to narrow beauty standards due to emphasis on youth, beauty, and success. This "hyperaesthetic tension" has led to an increase in cosmetic procedures and taken importance away from inner virtues. Societal tolerance for those not considered attractive has decreased significantly.
The document outlines golden rules of beauty according to Dr. Vijay Sharma. It states that an oval face shape is considered the most beautiful for women, and high cheekbones and wide-open eyes are also considered attractive. It explains that these features signify a feminine bone structure and increased resistance to wrinkles.
1. The document discusses the concept of "hyperaesthetic tension", which is the constant worry about one's appearance in modern society due to emphasis on youth, beauty, and success.
2. It notes how every body part can be subjected to various beauty treatments and procedures by industries and professionals focused on aesthetics and appearance enhancement.
3. The medical field has also contributed to this focus on beauty, with specialties like cosmetic surgery emerging to modify and "beautify" various aspects of the body.
This document provides guidance on properly consulting with patients considering cosmetic surgery. It outlines important steps like determining the patient's motivation, assessing their emotional state, examining relevant areas, and recommending the right procedure or surgeon. The key aspects are choosing a qualified surgeon, making sure the timing is appropriate, matching expectations with limitations, and committing only to what can realistically be delivered to achieve the best outcome.
The document discusses the future of medical tourism and cosmetic surgery in India. It notes that frequent international travel has increased due to advances in aviation, and many now travel abroad for medical purposes. India has become a major destination for medical tourism, especially for cosmetic surgery, due to several factors: the availability of highly qualified surgeons, high-quality implants and equipment, advanced technologies, and continual medical education. The number of cosmetic surgeries performed in India has grown significantly between 1987 and 2004. Common cosmetic procedures include rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, and liposuction.
This document outlines the training programs and certification process for the International College of Cosmetic Surgery. It describes a multi-year certification process that requires candidates to complete clinical training, submit a log of surgical cases, and pass written and oral examinations to become a Fellow or Member. Fellows would be certified to perform cosmetic surgical procedures, while Members would be certified to perform non-invasive cosmetic procedures. The document also describes requirements for continuing education to maintain certification every two years through the College's re-certification program.
1) Cosmetic surgery tourism is growing in India due to the availability of highly qualified surgeons, high quality implants and equipment, and lower costs compared to other countries.
2) Factors driving the rise in cosmetic procedures in India include increased awareness, globalization and exposure to international beauty standards, and the need for professionals to appear more presentable for business.
3) Between 1987-2004, cosmetic surgeries in India increased over 600-fold, with the most common procedures being rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, and liposuction.

Silicone breast implants are generally considered biologically inert. However, some patients develop seromas following implantation. This document discusses several hypothesized pathophysiological pathways by which textured silicone breast implants could potentially cause generalized symptoms, but finds each of them implausible based on the scientific evidence. Specifically, silicone is unlikely to act as an antigen, adjuvant, or hapten due to its small size and inability to repeatedly bind to host molecules. A foreign body reaction and resultant cytokine production also would not be expected to cause systemic disease. The document concludes it is very unlikely that silicone breast implants can induce generalized symptoms or disease.
This document discusses the possibility and ethics of performing a full face transplant. It presents the case study of Ms. Poonam Singhal, who suffered severe facial disfigurement from an acid attack. The document outlines the medical feasibility of a full face transplant using modern techniques like microsurgery, immunosuppressants, and tissue matching. It also considers ethical issues like finding an appropriate donor and managing post-operative care. Hypothetical imaging is presented to illustrate what Ms. Singhal's face could look like after a successful full face transplant. The debate on this procedure is just beginning.

The document discusses the growth of cosmetic surgery in India from 1987 to 2006. It notes that the first cosmetic surgery center in India was founded in 1987 in Bombay by Dr. Vijay Sharma. Since then, cosmetic surgeries in India have increased over 600-fold. Common procedures include rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, and liposuction. The document attributes the rise in cosmetic procedures to factors like increased awareness, lifestyle changes, globalization, and the success of Indian beauty pageant contestants.
This document discusses the role of advanced computer simulation in modern cosmetic surgery. It describes how computer simulation can help both physicians and patients by allowing patients to visually express their desired changes and allowing doctors to demonstrate expected results. The objectives of computer simulation are to avoid patient dissatisfaction by explaining realistic expectations and limitations prior to surgery. A survey of over 7,000 patients found that explaining both desired results and potential problems led to higher patient satisfaction compared to only explaining benefits. The conclusion is that educating patients thoroughly through computer simulation can increase satisfaction by managing expectations.
Dr. Vijay Sharma proposes the concept of a Human Fat Tissue Bank that would collect, store, and preserve human fat cells through liposuction in order to later reintroduce the fat through autologous fat grafting or transplantation. The fat would be collected aseptically, stored at hypothermic temperatures, and later grafted back into the same patient or potentially another human to fill wrinkles or defects. Initial observations of autologous fat grafting show the fat can remain integrated for 12-24 months with less scarring than other dermal fillers. The Human Fat Tissue Banking concept could allow for autologous, homologous, or even heterologous fat grafting between humans and
This document discusses the future of cosmetic surgery in India according to Dr. Vijay Sharma. It notes that India has become a major medical tourism destination, and cosmetic surgery in particular is flourishing due to availability of qualified surgeons, high-quality implants and equipment, advanced technology, and continual medical education. Some key factors driving the growth of cosmetic surgery in India include changes in lifestyle, increased awareness, professional needs, important life events, self-image concerns, and globalization. The number of cosmetic surgeries performed in India has increased over 600-fold from 1987 to 2004. Common procedures include rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, and liposuction.
This document discusses common postoperative complications that can occur with silicon implants, specifically for the nose, cheeks, chin, and breasts. Some frequent complications include edema, redness, infections, abnormal pigmentation, transparent reflection of the implant, displacement of the implant, and rejection. Based on a study of 179 nose implants, 58 chin implants, 27 cheek implants, and 253 breast augmentations, the most common issues were edema, residual edema, redness, abnormal pigmentation, transparent reflection, infection, dissatisfaction leading to removal, and displacement of the implant. A unique complication of breast implants is capsule formation, requiring manual breaking for the first postoperative year. Rejection of implants is rare.
Dr. Vijay Sharma outlines the key duties and rights of cosmetic surgeons. Some of the main duties include rendering services to improve patients' emotional well-being and confidence rather than just for financial gain. Cosmetic surgeons must obtain proper informed consent, maintain patient privacy and confidentiality, and make treatment recommendations based on scientific evidence. They should not solicit patients directly or use publicity for commercial purposes. Cosmetic surgeons also have a duty to continue their education, treat all patients respectfully regardless of attributes, and observe relevant laws and ethical standards in their practice.
This document discusses the debate around full face transplantation. It presents the story of Poonam Singhal, who suffered severe facial disfigurement from an acid attack. The document considers whether full face transplantation is now technically and ethically feasible, given advances in areas like microsurgery, immunosuppressive drugs, and computer imaging. It outlines some of the medical, legal, and ethical issues to consider, such as donor selection and consent, ensuring transplants are only done on appropriate recipients like severe burn victims, and amending laws around acid attacks. Hypothetical before and after computer images are presented of what a full face transplant for Poonam Singhal may look like.
This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Vijay Sharma on the use of 3D computer imaging as an assessment tool for cosmetic surgeons. 3D imaging allows for clear evaluation of aesthetic defects, shows patients multiple surgical options, and helps manage expectations by demonstrating limitations and potential complications. It gives surgeons and patients freedom to view the face from any angle and closely examine flaws. Using 3D cameras, TVs, glasses and a joystick, Dr. Sharma found 3D imaging enhances confidence in decisions, ensures awareness of postoperative issues, and reduces unrealistic hopes for patients.
This document discusses the history and growth of cosmetic surgery in India. It notes that cosmetic surgery dates back to ancient India with techniques described in the Sushrut Samhita in the 5th century BC. The document outlines key developments in cosmetic surgery throughout the 20th century in various countries. It then summarizes the history of cosmetic surgery in India, noting that the Cosmetic Surgery Center of India was established in 1987 and saw rapid growth, with procedures increasing over 670% between 1987-2004. Common cosmetic surgery procedures performed in India are also listed.
Hair weaving can cause several health issues including allergies, eczema, errythema, seborrhea, dermatitis, headaches, dizziness, and migraines. The document lists potential skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis as well as neurological symptoms including headaches, dizziness, and migraines as hazards of hair weaving.
The document discusses the rise in popularity of cosmetic surgery in India from 1987 to 2004. It attributes this 600-fold increase to several key factors, including increased awareness, emphasis on youth and beauty in modern Indian culture, globalization, and the need for professional presentation. Cosmetic surgery is now more widely available and affordable in India compared to other countries. The document also provides before and after photos of common cosmetic procedures like nose jobs, breast augmentations, and fat removal treatments.
The document discusses breast augmentation, including indications for the procedure, surgical approaches, implant placement and types, the operative procedure, postoperative care, and potential complications. Breast augmentation involves surgically increasing breast size through the use of saline- or silicone-filled breast implants inserted through incisions around the nipple, under the arm, or in the breast crease. Postoperative recovery takes several weeks, with limited activity and follow up visits with the surgeon to monitor healing.
1) The document compares the use of phenol-based chemical peels with and without the addition of crotamiton oil on 127 patients. Phenol peels remove the epidermis and upper dermis, resulting in a smoother appearance after new skin growth.
2) When used without crotamiton oil, phenol peels caused coagulation of proteins in the skin and whitening within days, with a light brown color developing within 3 days and peeling complete within 7-12 days.
3) Complications were minor and temporary in most cases, with irritation and edema the most common. No serious toxic effects were observed from the phenol amounts used. Success rates for treating wrinkles
Research shows that even infants as young as 6 months old show a preference for attractive faces compared to unattractive faces. Studies have found that facial attractiveness is associated with symmetry, youthfulness, and averageness. When composite images are created by averaging multiple faces together, the more faces included in the composite, the more attractive it is rated. However, symmetry is less important for perceptions of art compared to equilibrium or balance. Cultural standards of beauty also vary across time and societies.
Research shows that even infants as young as 6 months old perceive and prefer attractive faces compared to unattractive faces. Facial attractiveness is influenced by factors like symmetry, youthfulness, and averageness. When multiple faces are averaged or morphed together, the composite face is often rated as more attractive, especially if it contains 16 or more individual faces. While symmetry is important for facial beauty, it is less important for judging attractiveness in art, where equilibrium or balance of elements is key. Cultural standards of beauty can vary across time and societies in terms of factors like skin color, body features, and masculinity/femininity preferences.
The document discusses the history of ideal beauty standards portrayed in media from the Renaissance era to present day. It examines how beauty standards have changed over time and influenced by different cultures. Today, the media promotes an unrealistic ideal of beauty that negatively impacts adolescents by lowering their self-esteem and increasing risks of eating disorders. While some efforts have been made to promote diversity, more needs to be done to counter the harmful messages perpetuated by the constant focus on physical appearance in media.
Beauty standards vary widely across cultures. In Western cultures like the US and France, thinness and youthful appearance are often idealized. Asian cultures emphasize smooth, youthful skin through elaborate skin care routines. Some cultures like South Korea are seeing trends of more feminine looks for men as well. Other cultures have had ideals like being heavier like in Mauritania where it signifies wealth, or neck elongation in Thailand. Body modification practices from makeup to plastic surgery are used around the world to achieve each culture's standards of beauty.
The document discusses how perceptions of beauty have been distorted by unrealistic standards promoted by the fashion industry. It leads women to feel insecure about their appearance and engage in unhealthy dieting and cosmetic procedures. While the industry promotes thin, youthful models, true beauty is found in natural, healthy bodies and self-acceptance rather than obsessive pursuit of an unattainable ideal. Changing societal attitudes is needed to challenge harmful beauty standards.
The psychology behind women feeling beautiful with cosmeticsShaziya Alfalasi
This document discusses the psychology behind women feeling pressure to use cosmetics and undergo surgeries to achieve beauty standards. It explores how childhood experiences, cultural influences, social media, aging, society, criticism, and insecurity can lead women to obsess over their appearance. Extreme measures aimed at achieving an unattainable ideal of beauty can negatively impact women's mental health and sense of self-worth. The conclusion advocates developing self-acceptance rather than basing self-worth on physical appearance.
The aesthetics of beauty and the social stigmatisation
of facial disfigurement
Although having a facial disfigurement secondary to trauma, a birthmark, a birth defect or some abnormality does not affect a patient’s health; society deems it often leads to stigmatisation and limitations of opportunities afforded to others.
This document discusses the physical self and how it is impacted by different forces and cultures. It explores how beauty standards vary widely across cultures, with some valuing traits like facial tattoos, stretched earlobes, or lip plates. The media is highlighted as having a strong influence on adolescents' understanding of beauty by promoting thin ideals. Different parts of the world are presented as examples of diverse beauty standards, showing that beauty is subjective and defined differently in every culture.

The document discusses potential topics for an individual documentary presentation. It considers documentaries about addiction to new technology, defining beauty, and abortion. For the abortion topic, it outlines the key issues including: different views on abortion being legal up to 24 weeks; risks of abortion procedures; pro-choice and pro-life positions; and religious perspectives on terminating a pregnancy. The document develops the abortion topic into a 3-part documentary series exploring whether abortion is right, religious views on the issue, and whether the legal time limit for abortions should be decreased.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in India, with over 60 million people projected to have coronary heart disease by 2015. Mortality rates from heart disease are twice as high in India compared to the US and several times higher than some European countries. Risk factors like hypertension, diabetes and abnormal cholesterol develop at younger ages in India compared to Western countries. Diet plays a major role, as Indian diets tend to be high in saturated and trans fats. Primary prevention through controlling cholesterol levels earlier in life could help reduce India's growing heart disease burden.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and promotes changes in the brain which help enhance one's emotional well-being and mental clarity.
Arterial aging progresses through distinct stages that can lead to heart attack. While the first symptom of a heart attack can be sudden death, men and women face equal risk by ages 60-70. In 50% of cases, blood pressure and cholesterol levels are normal, and children of parents with premature heart disease have a much higher (200-300%) risk themselves.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

universal good looks. Probably like the looks owned by Miss Universe
Sushmita Sen, Lara Dutta and Miss World Priyanka Chopra or by
internationally acclaimed models like Cindy Crawford or Hollywood
beauties like Julia Roberts and Nichole Kidman.
4. What is it that makes these faces so popular, so universally accepted as
the epitome of beauty? Blame it on the media, but is that all or is it just
the tail of the dragon we are chasing, is it a cause or is it a consequence
of this concept of universal beauty.
Scientifically speaking, certain facial shapes and features are
considered attractive, even infants respond better to those faces, which
are considered and accepted by most. It has been found that an infant
connects better to a beautiful face as found by the smiles and giggles.
5. There are certain facial shapes that are considered attractive. The oval face is
considered the most beautiful for a woman in contrast to round, square box type or
triangular faces. High cheekbones and wide-open eyes are also considered
beautiful.
Looking at it from a strictly medical cosmetic point of view with these findings make
perfect sense.
The oval face leads the feminine grace and ensures that the unfeminine parts like
firm jaw line do not exist. It signifies in essence a feminine bone structure. High
cheekbones mean the individual is more resistant to facial wrinkles, similarly for
wide-open eyes.
6. GOLDEN RULES OF BEAUTY
1. Oval or egg shape face is
always counted better than
square, boxoid, triangular,
round or circular faces.
2. The length of the nose and face
above & below the nose should
be almost equal to each other.
3. Bright, bigger eyes with high
cheek bones spreaded over not
more than one third total length
of face gives immediate
acceptance
7. 4. Side profile, if you draw a line it
should touch forehead, upper
lip, lower lip and chin all
together.
5. Angle of the nose in contrast to
the face should be roughly
around 30 degree and is
counted as the best, but
between 25 to 40 is also like
compromise.
6. Convex faces are better
than the Concave faces.
8. 7. IMAGINARY TRIANGULAR
TEST, the outer most portion of
left and right eyebrows and the
center most point of the lower lip,
In this imaginary triangle unity of
all the organs should be perfect
like
The space between both the
eyes should be equivalent to
the size of the eye. (Factor
X) Yellow line.
Width of the nose and width
of the mouth should have a
ratio 3:5 (Blue & Yellow line)
The opening of the mouth
should not be larger than one
and half time of factor X.
Factor X
Factor X
9. 8. The thickness and the
volume of the upper lip verses
lower lip should be 70 / 100 in
other words the upper lip should
not be more than 70% of the
volume of the lower lip.
10. 9. The length of
the body and
the length of
the legs should
be either
equivalent or
the legs should
be longer than
the body,
longer the legs
is noted more
beautiful, when
folded knee
should come
up to the
shoulder and
ankle should
touch the
bottom.
11. 10. Projection of breast and
projection of buttocks from
central median line of the side
profile should be absolutely
balance.
11. Breast should not project more
than the nose while standing
posture.
12. Leaving that aside, what is it, that not just men and women notice these things
and work at aligning themselves with the universal axis of beauty but are
obsessed with looks? Here let us think in term of labeling it, or let's say
postmodern term and call it HYPERAESTHETIC TENSION which created a
need of inventing “GOLDEN RULES OF BEAUTY BY DR. VIJAY SHARMA”
The nineteenth and twentieth centuries saw hypertension causing furrows on
the brows of many of the population and an increasingly younger population at
that. The twenty first century could well see a spread of this hyperaesthetic
tension of epidemic proportions.
As in all epidemics, the most important first step is recognition and awareness.
People were dying of bacterial diseases for long enough before the lay public
accepted their presence. Even doctors of yore were not entirely convinced of
the presence of these carriers of doom. Ignorance about their presence did not
stop epidemics. In fact plague has been all but abolished an account of
acceptance, education and then steps to control and eliminate.
13. The first step therefore is recognition of this hyperaesthetic tension.
Most of us though vaguely familiar with it, in principle we do not consider
it exists.
Hyperaesthetic tension is the constant increasing worry as regards
looks for an individual. It is exemplified by the photo shoots and
wardrobes of the stars, the repeated foreign jaunts of our models for
breast jobs for females, hair weaving for males. It is however not as we
believe limited to the page three of society. It is also as signified by the
stolen looks at any mirror rather any reflecting surface not just of
females but also males and individuals, who are not just teenagers but
even those in their late forties. It is the depressive bouts that not just an
adolescent undergoes an account of pimples, an adult male undergoes
an account of premature hair loss, a housewife undergoes an account of
a flat chest or a middle aged man experiences an account of his
developing eye pouches or a double chin. That which affects all of us to
such an extent that looks matter us more than most other things is
hyperaesthetic tension. This hypothesis shall soon get proned, we
believe
14. IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS
Hyperaesthetic Tension
In contrast to the popular old sayings like
- Never judge an envelope by its cover
- Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder
- What matters is inner beauty
- Beautiful is that beautiful does
How outdated these adages appear in today's world.
Unbelievable as it seems, looks and their importance have suspected basic
human virtues to the extent that the total number of necessary surgery for basic
medical problems have been surpassed by people opting for willful
beautification under the knives of cosmetic surgeons. The world over, rapidly
changing trends for acceptability are evident as not even in the not so distant
past.
I call it 'hyperaesthetic tension' rather similar yet uniquely different from
hypertension, which commonly exists in today's modern society rather today's
modern industrialized society. A society, which lays tremendous emphasis on
youth, beauty and success, a heady cocktail in itself.
15. Gone are the days, when aging
was viewed as a sign of wisdom
and valued as such. Today the
emphasis is on youth and the
adage looks belie age holds true
with the advent of the information
age, which has caused an
explosion in knowledge and
education, exposure is prime.
Those who are more exposed to
the world are considered wiser,
they are considered the pillars of
knowledge of society, which
essentially reiterates repeatedly
that looks not just matter they have
the power to make or brake
careers.
16. With growing job opportunities in
modern industrialized society comes
rapid migration of people. This has
caused large gaps rather tears in the
basic fabric of society. The time,
when the joint family system was the
base of society is long gone. The
total collapse of the joint family units
consisting of husband, wife and
children or in some case the DINKS
(double income no kids) or even
single parent families. This is not the
fault of anyone in particular rather
fallout of the changes in the
standards of living, a perpetual run
for the goal and ever-elusing targets
of growth. The push propels people
more towards material read physical
progress instead of spiritual
progress.
17. In the joint family system a large number of
people cohabitated. The high threshold of
tolerance was what made for peaceful
coexistence. Today the pressure of living and
looking good ensures each man for himself.
Every relationship is affected by these
expectations. Every husband today wants a
Cindy Crawford, an Aishwarya Rai or a Naomi
Campbell for his wife, who in turn expects no
less than a Tom Cruise, an Hrithik Roshan or
a Pierce Brosnan for a spouse. Gone are the
days, when men with out good biceps and
women without svelte bodies or girls without
perfect features and boys without a good
personality can hope to succeed. The
emphasis is no longer on just the best foot
forward rather the best face forward or even
may the most beautiful win is what stands
true today.
Overall societal tolerance towards mediocre
or even reasonable lookers has decreased to
such levels that it is impossible even think of
the not good looking unfortunates,
18. as anything other than less miserable. A
person, who is not attractive to people
fails to make a positive impression and is
considered unlucky up until he proves
his virtues. Even during medieval times
the ugly or the deformed were
considered cursed and were supposed
to bring bad luck as per both Western
and Indian cultures. This not to justify the
fact that virtues have today taken to
being backstage and looks take center
stage. It may be much more difficult for
such aesthetically challenged individuals
to even match, leave alone rise above a
similarly or sometimes even a less
talented but aesthetically endowed
individual society's constant thrust on
youth, beauty and success altogether is
pushing more and more people to
undertake regular grooming read
servicing of body parts. Amazingly every
body parts have been subjected to
servicing.
19. The number of individuals involved with
the aesthetics of the human body is
enough to make up an entire army. The
charge of this light brigade ensures that
there is enough light to not just visualizes
but also dazzle.
Starting from the tips of the fingers on
toes and going up to the hair on the
scalp, we have beauty treatments, beauty
parlours, saloons, hair dressers, spas,
clinics, personal trainers, aerobics
classes, gyms with the latest equipment
and cosmetic surgery, the undisputed
jewel in the crown in this our quest for
perfection.
Though a body shop essentially means a
place, where cosmetics and toiletry items
are available, it could well be extended to
include all the professions, which hope to
satisfy the quest for body beautiful.
20. Let us see the number of way in which
a small part of our body say the finger
tips can be made aesthetically
pleasing. There are manicurists to cut
and shape nails and give that well-
groomed finish for that suave and
sophisticated look. In addition to doing
the routine cutting of nails, such that
there are no jagged, uneven trends,
there is also nail colouring. The
ordinary nail enamel has graduated
from being red, pink or brown to not
just filner, gray and purple but also
black, star spangled, glitter laden or
one with animal prints. But manicuring
does not stop at nails, it extends to the
hand with care being taken to clean
the hands, soften them rub off dead
skin, massage hands to improve blood
circulation and the use of various
beauty oils for smoothening the hands.
21. But does hand grooming stop at that?
No way is the chorus that greets our
ears, what – bare hands? That makes
ornaments and accessories
fashionable, who can think of leaving
the house without that ring made with
the quintessential woman's best friend,
the diamond. And its not just diamonds
but solitaires, large single diamonds
called - rock, which are a must see on
the fingers of the movers and shakers
of society. This brings into the limelight
jewellery designers, who use their own
imagination keeping in mind individual
characteristics and preferences,
thereby leaving their signature on
those now even more beautiful hands.
Neither is the ornamentation limited to
jewellery alone and beautiful wrist
without an exquisite watch to match is
not to be seen.
22. Hence with the technological
advances in watch making,
embellishment of these masterpieces
have also to be paid due attention. To
go beyond mere looks and touch must
the other senses go neglected? The
perfume that goes with such a dainty,
wrist is obviously noticed. This makes
perfumers a part of the beautiful body
retinue.
To look beyond just that wrist, the
clothes that accompany it must be top
class. That allows couturiers to jump
onto the beauty bandwagon. And then
can shoemakers be too far behind?
Perhaps it is not too much to say that
man is known by the company he
keeps in long since passé. Rather man
& woman is known by the shoes
he/she wears. No wonder we call such
people well heeled.
23. The feet soon become a point of focus
too and all that is done for the hands is
part of the intensive care of feet too.
That leaves us with the face that which
we present to the world. What people
know us is much dependant on this
part of our anatomy. And since it is so
widely used, it requires more upkeep.
Small wonder then that the face
commands the lions share in the
cosmetic market. There are creams for
dry, normal and oily skins, moisturizers
for all ages, day creams, overnight
creams, sun block lotions, winter
lotions, water proof creams, what have
you. Add to this the cleansers, toners
and others like the talc's and packs
and it would be enough to fill an
ammunition depot. Besides this there
is eye make-up, eyeliners dry and wet,
kohl, mascara, eye shadow,
24. eyebrow pencils, false eyelashes and
coloured contact lenses. There is lip
make-up, lipsticks, lip liners, gloss.
The short nose can be made to look
longer with shades of make-up. A
square face can be made to look more
or less a perfect oval. The smile can
be perfected with just a touch of the
right shade of lipstick or lip-gloss.
Toothpastes and tooth whiteners are
important too for those pearly whites
and what about those, who are not
blessed with straight teeth and pink
gums, they need not despair because
cosmetic dentistry comes to the
rescue. Small teeth large gums – want
a toothier smile? Gums can be pushed
back. On take the other extreme-large
teeth-no gum marks seen-artificially
created gum lines. Lost teeth find their
replacement with perfect appearance
artificial substitutes.
25. And of course the ubiquitous braces
have made a major comeback, in
some cases actually being made an
ornamentally accessory. What with the
colours, designs and even crystals
embedded for special effect.
Lest we forget, that perfect smile has
to be preserved by repeated visits to
the smile doctors is essential, so much
so that now there are even smile
trainers, people actually instruct on
how to smile and how much of the
teeth to expose.
With the face being perfection person
for the hair have to receive their due.
Hairdressers are no longer barbers;
they are stylists attending to the
minutest details of those well done
coiffures. Not just the sparkle of health
has to be evident in addition to cutting,
shaping, trimming, settling, gelling,
26. colouring, streaking, perming or
crimping hair. That brings to the world
of trichologists, literally speaking hair
specialists, who advise regarding the
kind of shampoos, conditioners,
massages and tonics required.
The modern day doctors are also a
part of the beauty regiment. This
includes dermatologists, who take
complete care of complexion. The
myth that dermatologist's appointment
books are full of those with allergies,
rashes or even a face full of pimples
has today been busted. People with
normal complexion, frequent
dermatologists to take advice
regarding protection from sunburn and
especially on how to keep the newest
deadly scourge of mankind – wrinkles.
27. The enhancement of good looks today
is further given a fillip by the presence
of a branch of a serious discipline like
surgery being denoted entirely to it.
This branch is cosmetic surgery, it has
gained much momentum doing and
the recognition of the general feeling
of psychological well being that it
brings with it.
Reams upon reams can be written
about cosmetic surgery, however it will
probably be sufficient to say that all
that the rest of the body shop handles,
fall within the domain of cosmetic
surgeons making the cosmetic
surgeons truly the captain of the ship
of destiny sailing on the aesthetic sea.
Every body part can be beautified as
per specifications – a person with
skinny can have shapely soft hands
with an injection of fat performed by
28. the cosmetic surgeons. Heavy arms
can be dealt with by liposuction so as
to allow one to carry with aplomb that
designer draw scars anywhere on the
body can be excised for that
confidence to wear, which one pleases
without having to go in for the
concealing cover of long sleeves,
close collars or long skirts. After all
how many of us can boast of having
had a childhood without any spills and
thereby no scars.
It is said that if nose is right everything
appears right on face. The modern
surgical magicians of aesthetic
science, can really design tailor made
nose of "David of Florence" out of ugly
big nose, bulky tip, broad based or
saddle mangol nose. The scars of
youth in the form of blemishes and
pimple marks also require
Dermabrassion,
29. which comes under the purview of
cosmetic surgery. The effects of our
fast changing life style require us to
lose those pounds of fat around the
hips, thighs and waist. This can also
be supplemented with help from
Cosmetic Surgery. The days, when
breast implants were only for film
stars, models or even cancer patient
is passé. Breast implants for
improvement of self image is
undertaken by even housewives
today. Even cancer patients having
realized the importance of a
complete appearance in order to
lead a complete existence in spite of
breast removal for malignancy go in
for at times even simultaneous
breast restructuring.
30. This has been found to significantly
reduce psychological trauma. Such
patients invariably fare better in the
immediate postoperative period as
well as in the long run.
The ravages of old age catch up
with man sooner or later. It is
impossible to stay young looking
forever but it is indeed possible to
successfully delay aging. To this
end cosmetic surgery helps in
knocking of a few years from the
persons body. This truly ensures a
body preserved to allow the
person, the psychological
advantage he wants.
31. OBSERVATION AND INVESTIGATION
A survey was conducted, which covered 250 people in the city of Bombay from
June 2001 to July 2003. All sections of society and all age group were
consciously included in this survey, of course only those people with no
obvious illness were considered.
There were 52 people in the 0-16 age group, 62 people in the 17-36 age group,
98 in the age group of 37-50 and 38 in the 50+ age group. This included both
male and female in equal number. It included people from all socioeconomic
strata including housemaids & postmen to teachers, housewives or even
business managers. The usual bunch of those, who are considered to be
obsessed with beauty like film and television stars, models and anchors
for various shows or stage performers, dancers etc. were consciously
excluded from our survey.
The questions we asked were simple and very few
1. What is your biggest concern as regards your body?
2. What improvements would you want if given a chance?
3. In case of an operation to be performed on you, list the points of
concern
32. The answer to the first question was rarely if at all
associated with a medical concern. There was hardly
anyone, rather none who said I am scared I might get
diabetes or heart disease. The most common answer to the
second question was "I think, I look too thin or too fat
(75%)". I think, I have an inadequate bosom was the reply
made by almost 50% of females in all age groups.
About 50% felt their faces could be beautified most if their
nose could be improved. People in the age group 37-50
and 50+ were concerned about existing or developing
wrinkles. Some people felt their ears were too large or
protruding, which gave them a rather funny appearance.
There were those, who wished they could change their
smile to improve their face value. A stronger chin was the
requirement of about 25% of our male respondents; though
one female executive also said she would want that too.
The answer to the last question was not so surprising. The
first question that is asked to a surgeon before surgery is:
What is the size of the scar that will be left. What is the
number of stitches and how long will the marks remain?

Results: Our results as regards our survey on hyperaesthetic tension were as
follows: -
Question 1
- All 100% of the respondents answered in favour of a cosmetic
concern.
- No person, who was considered for this survey had any pre –
existing medical illness as surgical history
Question 2
The question as to what would they like to change the most about themselves
as regards improvement was answered as follows: -
74% of the respondents had concern regarding their body image. They felt they
were too thin or too fat. This included 20.6% in the 0-16 age group (male 42 :
female 58), 29.2% in the 17-36 yrs age group (male 44.5 : female 55.5), 37.8%
in the 37-50 yrs age group (male 44.3 : female 55.7) and 12.1% in the 50+ age
group (male 47.8 : female 52.2)
36. The nose was that part of the body
that they would like to redesign to give
their personality a boast. This was the
feeling expressed by 50% of
respondents. This included 28% in the
0-16 yrs age group (45.7 male; 54.3
female), 28.8% in the 17-36 yrs age
group (55.6 male; 44.4. female), 40%
in the 37-50 yrs age group (46 male;
54 female) and 32% in the 50+ yrs age
group (25 male: 75 female).
Of the women respondents 65.6% felt
they had unsatisfactory breasts. 18.3%
in the 0-16 yrs age group, 25.6% in the
17-36 yrs age group, 43.95 in the 37-
50 yrs age group and 12.2% in the 50+
yrs age group.
Wrinkles were the concern of 65.2% of
our respondents. As would be
expected, it was not a point of concern
for the 0-16 yrs age group but every
37. other age group including the 17-36 yrs
age group showed a significant
percentage. 27.6% in the 17-36 yrs age
group (48.9 males; 51.1% females),
52.2% in the 37-50 yrs age group (49.4%
males; 50.6% females) and 20.2% in the
50+ yrs age group (45.5% males; 54.5
females).
The ears were a cause of concern for
11.6% of the respondents, 3.4% in the
age group of 0-16 yrs (100% male; 0%
female), 41.3% in the age group of 17-36
yrs (59.3% male; 41.7% female), 51.7% in
the age group of 37-50 yrs (60% male;
40% female) and 3.4% in the age group of
50+ yrs (100% male; 0% female).
The smile was next important thing after the
nose for our respondents. 40% felt their face
and indeed their entire personality could be
better enhanced by a change in their smile.
26% in the age group 0-16 yrs (50% male;
38. 50% female), 31% in the age group of
17-36 yrs (41.9% males; 58.1%
females), 30% in the age group 37-50
yrs (46.7% males, 53.3% females) and
13% in the age group 50+ yrs (46.1%
males; 53.9% female)
The chin was something mostly males
in the age group of 37-50 yrs
concentrated on. The total percentage
for all age group was 9% for the 0-16
yrs (100%male; 0% female), 16% for
the 17-36 yrs (93.75% male; 6.25%
female), 38% for the 37-50 yrs age
group (100% male; 0% female) and
1% for the 50+ yrs age group (100%
male; 0% female). The sole woman in
the age group of 17-36 yrs, who
wanted a better chin, brought the
1.56% of females less than 1%.
39. Question 3
Participants when asked to list their
concerns regarding surgery were
asked to number cosmetic concerns 1
or surgical concerns 2 as per their
priority. Here it must be made clear
that the surgeries chosen by us were
elective and those, which the patient
had heard of prior to this. We found
that the listing was 1 and 2 in that
order for 100% of the respondents.
The above results to the survey allow
us to conclude that hyperaesthetic
tension indeed exists. This hypothesis
has been satisfactorily proned by this
study.
40. CONCLUSION:-
To conclude: Hyper Aesthetic Tension Exists which created a need of
inventing “GOLDEN RULES OF BEAUTY BY DR. VIJAY SHARMA”.
Hyper aesthetic tension may not be known as such or even recognized by too
many, but hyper aesthetic tension exists, it is rapidly spreading, capable of
assumes as epidemic form. It is important at the point for as to recognize and
except it most importantly. The second step would be to act upon its spread
with the help of trained personnel
In the 21st
Century "Hyper Aesthetic Tension" superseded on all the other
aspects of life, irrespective of the age group, gender, race, cast or colour,
socioeconomic status and earning capacity.
The entire society is passing through a phase today called "Hyper Aesthetic
Tension" in which everybody expect from each other to look good. The entire
society is compelled to have more good-looking people with the extreme
emphasis upon youth, beauty and success.
Modern industrialization has provogued the people immigrate for the business,
employment, permanent inhabitation and tourism. Aging, which was a sign of
wisdom in the past has been replaced by the power of knowledge of youth and
essentiality to the technological advancement.
41. In other words rapidly changing "know how" in each field has created explosion
of knowledge in all the fields it has affected the human psyche as well in
progressive environment, the aesthetic of human appearance has also grown a
lot.
Today the perception of human appearance has taken an upper hand than the other
virtues. It is high time we must accept the existence of "Hyper Aesthetic Tension" as
global epidemic among the people in modern society which created a need of inventing
“GOLDEN RULES OF BEAUTY BY DR. VIJAY SHARMA”.
Now this is a known and established fact that based on “GOLDEN RULES OF BEAUTY BY
DR. VIJAY SHARMA”. Many Bollywood stars have been transformed from ordinary
people to MOST BEAUTIFUL CELEBRITIES. Hence computer imaging “EXCELLENT
MAKEOVER PROGRAM” is a guidance for possibility of most suitable looks within the
parameters of medical science which rules out many false hopes and expectations as well.
