Why Men’s Cosmetic Surgery Is Rising in Urban India — Expert Insights from Dr. Karan Shetty

Bengaluru, India — Cosmetic surgery is no longer a hush-hush subject among Indian men. Across major metros, more men are choosing aesthetic procedures to improve appearance, confidence, and overall emotional well-being. According to Dr. Karan Shetty — a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon with over 10 years of experience and a leading expert in male aesthetic surgery at Tara Healthcare, Bengaluru — this change reflects a larger cultural shift in how men perceive self-care and body image. 

A Cultural Shift: Why Urban Indian Men Are Redefining Grooming 

Over the last five years, India has seen a significant increase in male-focused aesthetic treatments. Dr. Shetty notes that this rise is driven by: 

1. Workplace Competitiveness 

In fast-paced industries — from tech to consulting — men increasingly feel the pressure to appear energetic, confident, and camera-ready. 

“Many male patients tell me they want their appearance to match the drive they feel inside,” says Dr. Shetty. 

2. Influence of Pop Culture & Social Media 

Indian actors, athletes, and influencers openly embracing cosmetic procedures has helped normalise them. Younger men especially value sharper jawlines, balanced noses, and clear, youthful skin. 

3. Growth of Fitness & Body Awareness 

With gyms, sports, and fitness content booming, men are paying more attention to body proportions. Gynecomastia correction, abdominal sculpting, and jawline contouring are now among the most sought-after procedures. 

4. Demand for Subtle, Natural Results 

Modern techniques allow for minimal downtime and no obvious “operated” look — something men prioritise. 

Top Cosmetic Procedures Indian Men Are Choosing (2025 Trends) 

Based on clinical observations at Tara Healthcare: 

  • Gynecomastia surgery (male chest correction) 
  • Subtle rhinoplasty for men 
  • Blepharoplasty (eyelid rejuvenation) 
  • High-definition liposuction 
  • Chin & jawline enhancement 
  • Hair transplant & PRP therapy 
  • Non-surgical facial balancing (Botox, fillers, skin tightening) 

Dr. Shetty emphasises that the modern male patient seeks refinement, not transformation

The Emotional & Psychological Impact 

Global and Indian studies show that men undergoing cosmetic procedures often report: 

  • Higher self-esteem 
  • Greater confidence in social interactions 
  • Improved performance in professional settings 
  • Better mental well-being 
  • Enhanced motivation for fitness 

Dr. Shetty adds: 

“Many male patients carry quiet insecurities for years. When addressed ethically, cosmetic surgery can create deep emotional relief.” 

India’s Urban Centres Lead the Trend — Especially Bengaluru 

Bengaluru, with its mix of tech professionals, entrepreneurs, and global exposure, has become a key hub for male aesthetic procedures.

  • Minimal time away from work 
  • Discrete recovery

This significantly reduces risk and improves long-term satisfaction.

Understand what can — and cannot — be achieved. 

Prioritise natural-looking outcomes 

Especially important in male aesthetics to preserve masculine features.
