Dr. Srinjoy Saha is an experienced nose surgeon with technical brilliance, deep knowledge, artistry, great patient care, and meticulous attention to detail.

The unique beauty of the face stems from the different contours and shapes imparted by unique facial features. Understanding the nuances and interplay of these facial features is crucial in facial contouring surgery. It surgically reduces cheek fat deposits and heavy jaws, creates malar prominence and natural-looking dimples & achieves aesthetic cheek contouring without visible scars. Combined with lasers and regenerative procedures, it can also firm up sagging skin over the face.

A facelift is an excellent plastic surgery to reverse changes and restore a youthful appearance to an aging face and neck. Structural support of the face like SMAS and platysma is shaped and resuspended to achieve long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Liposuction of the neck can be done to suck out the fat and contour overlying neck skin through few tiny cuts along the neck crease. If you have a turkey neck, with sagging and drooping skin and prominent neck folds and bands, Neck Lift will help to redefine your neck contours. Muscles of the neck are tightened both at the central and peripheral areas.

Dimple occurs when there is an opening in the cheek muscle called the buccinator. If you do not have it but desire one, a minimally invasive plastic surgery called Dimpleplasty will help you achieve it.

People born with natural dimples may lose them or see their depth reduced in older age, like skin and muscle weight changes. They can also benefit from this procedure.

The buccal fat pad is a mass of fat present in the center of the cheek and has four extensions in different directions. The central body and three extensions cushion the underlying nerves and vessels. The fourth extension lies freely within the cheek hollow, making the face appear round or full, like a babyface. This free extension of the buccal fat pad can be removed with specialized plastic surgery, reducing the cheek volume and defining the facial angulation. It can either be performed alone, or combined with fat grafting, dimple creation, facelift, lip surgery, rhinoplasty, and botox to the jaws.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also called 'liquid' nose job or reshaping, is done by injecting dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid underneath the skin and soft tissues of the nose to change its superficial structure. When performed conservatively, it is safe and efficient to a certain degree. It is performed in a clinic and does not require hospital admission or an operation. Side-effects are usually absent, with redness being the most visible after-effect. The results are visible immediately and are quite pleasing. However, the results last for a few months and require top-ups every 6 months or less. It is ideal only for those who want a temporary and non-surgical solution.

Facial aging manifests in a significant way through the loss of facial volume. With progressing age, the cheeks appear flat, sunken, and less full. Fat grafts are a gentle, natural way of adding sizeable amounts of lost volume to the face. Liposuction is performed over the abdomen and thighs to harvest the fat. It is next processed through advanced techniques and then injected into the creases, lines, hollows, and depressions over the face. All these procedures are done through tiny cuts that leave almost no scars. Fat grafts also improve the quality of overlying skin.

Once facial balance and harmony are restored, dramatic improvement of the treated face results. Non-surgically, some of these effects can be mimicked with dermal fillers.

Flat and thin cheeks result from aging. Some are born with flat cheekbones, resulting in dull cheeks. To add volume and define high cheekbones, fat grafting, filler injections, and facial implant surgery can be performed. Facial implants are inserted through incisions within the mouth and fixed with small screws. The volume changes are defined and fixed after this surgery. Fat graft is harvested from the abdomen and thighs and injected through tiny cuts. This process is natural, but graft take can vary, and needs repetition. Fillers are injected through fine needles in the clinic, leading to defined changes, and need to be repeated every year.

An Eyelid lift or Blepharoplasty is plastic surgery of the eyes to make them look more youthful and refreshed. A bright youthful eye brightens up the face. It is performed both on the upper and lower eyelids. Scars are hidden or camouflaged.

Prominent ears are the most common deformity of the ears, involving both the ears or just one and run in families. It may be a troublesome source of teasing, with children getting called nicknames like 'dumbo ears'.

This is a combination of several plastic surgeries performed to correct diseases of the skull, face, head, and neck. It involves reconstructing damaged bone and soft tissues to improve the function and appearance of disfigured areas of the head, neck, skull, and face. Children born with abnormalities and disfigurements often require this surgery. In these children suffering from craniofacial anomalies, early surgery is greatly beneficial for their growth and development. Adults who develop problems over their skull and face through diseases, infection, cancer, or injury also require this surgery.

Soft tissue injuries like cuts and lacerations over the face require precise repair with fine sutures. Combining good reconstructive techniques with cosmetic surgery finesse delivers the best results. Good knowledge of underlying nerves and glands is required to repair or preserve and not harm them. Fractures of the facial bones occur after severe trauma and are disfiguring. Location, severity, and the number of fractures, along with age and general health of the patient determine specific treatment. Surgically, titanium plates and screws and used to stabilize fractured facial bones.

Facial reanimation is required to provide movements or 'animation' to a person suffering from facial paralysis. Plastic surgery can reanimate the face after just one highly specialized surgery and may require further procedures in more complicated conditions if necessary.

Scarring and cosmetic problems are treated by different techniques.

Different skin cancer occurs when malignant cancer cells form within the layers of the skin, depending upon which type of cell has become cancerous. Skin color and sunlight exposure increase the risks of actinic keratosis, basal cell, and squamous cell carcinoma. These appear as changes in the skin. Melanoma occurs when cancer forms within the cells that color the skin and can occur anywhere. Early signs include changes in the appearance of an existing mole or pigmented area. A skin examination and a biopsy are required to establish the diagnosis. After confirmation, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and wide local excision and reconstruction may be done.

The face has complicated anatomy with important functions and has aesthetic significance. Defects of the face can be challenging to reconstruct. Tissue engineering and Regenerative medicine is a growing field focusing on self-healing and regenerating tissues, cells, and organs to restore the form and function of the face. This treatment offers numerous benefits over current reconstructive techniques. It requires minimal surgery and anesthesia and is not painful. Unlike transplantation methods, it does not require immunosuppression. Reconstructing the dermis, skin, bone, cartilage, soft tissues, nerves, and blood vessels are now possible.
