As the wedding season dawns, the trend of going to a clinic to have that NaLINI SHARMA (24) is getting married shortly this season, and is hard at work — at a slimming clinic. She has already lost 5 kg but that, she says, is not enough. As the Indian wedding season dawns, the trend of going to a slimming clinic or availing of a beauty package to have that perfect glow on the wedding day is peaking. Many are also opting to go under the knife. Brides-to-be like Nalini are leaving no stone unturned to steal the show on their wedding night. "I was 10 kg overweight and have already lost 5 kg in two months. I am hopeful of losing more in the coming months," Sharma said. "I am doing all this just because I want to look perfect on my wedding day. It is a very special day for me and I don’t want anything to go wrong." According to Anup Dhir, senior cosmetic surgeon at New Delhi’s Apollo Hospital, the number of clients in the wedding season goes up to 40 per cent as people also opt for cosmetic surgery to look and feel better. "Positive outcomes from surgical modifications to the body and face can truly alter one’s life. Various studies and patients have reported positive changes in their social lives, sex lives and interpersonal relationships," Dhir told IANS. "And to look and feel good on their wedding day, people don’t mind going under the knife." Many are going for fat reduction surgery called liposuction. "Liposuction is very much in demand as it gives instant results. More and more people are opting for it," Dhir said. At the same time, he also warned that one should be careful before going for this procedure. "One should make sure that they are putting their body in safe hands. The cost of liposuction is an important factor, but the quality of liposuction is more important," explained Dhir. "If the ultimate goal of liposuction is to have a happy patient, then the surgeon’s expertise and experience are probably more important than the price," he added. Various slimming and
beauty clinics are cashing in on the idea and have come up with bridal
packages to lure more customers. —
