Nepal offers extremely limited access to dermatology facilities even in the most densely populated urban areas. There are very few dermatology specialists in Nepal and treatment for medical skin conditions and cosmetic facial rejuvenation treatments can be rare.
Narenda Singh is a listed Dermatologist based in Kathmandu, one of very few specialist consultants working within Nepal on skin conditions and medical treatments. There is a concerted drive to increase the practice and training of specialists across Nepal and a recent chapter in a medical journal by V.G Hubbard, ‘A single educational intervention aiming to improve dermatology care in western Nepal’ discusses the expansion of dermatological training in regions within Western Nepal. Investigation continues into the effect of carbon-di-oxide lasers on the Nepali skin phenotype for both medical and cosmetic procedure processes.
There are a few health and beauty parlours the more affluent areas of Nepal although these tend to cater to holiday makers and tourists. In Kathmandu it is possible within 5 star hotels to receive topical facial treatments to improve skin condition and skin tone. For procedures such as Botox and dermal fillers it is usually necessary to travel to India. Chemical skin peels are not very common in Nepal and very few places offer microdermabrasion.
The Harmony Spa in Kathmandu, specialises in relaxing, luxury spa treatments such as hot body wraps, deep tissue massage and facial treatments. These treatments are dermatologically tested, soothing, restorative anti-wrinkle treatments for sun damaged skin designed to prevent early signs of ageing. Rice and Sandalwood healing body rubs are available to heal inflamed skin suffering from prickly heat.
Conditions in the Himalayas at high altitudes do cause skin to dry and become rough. Long multi-day treks in the mountain regions may result in sun damage from high exposure to UV rays and dry, rough skin. Microdermabrasion is a good method of exfoliating the skin to restore smooth skin. Unfortunately this treatment is not widely available in Nepal.

Breast Implants – Before and After
Breast implant surgery is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the UK becoming increasingly popular with women of all ages wanting to enhance their body image with firmer, fuller boobs.
Pamela Anderson became a cult icon in 1990’s after famously having implant surgery to increase her bust size from a 34C to a 36D-D. Over the last 10 years numerous celebrities have taken the plunge (!) and opted for the surgery.
Megan Fox underwent breast implant surgery in 2006 and has since seemingly had a nose job and botox injections. Megan Fox increased her cup size from an A cup to a C cup much to the delight of her male fans and followers.
Tara Reid has had multiple cosmetic procedures including liposculpting and a ‘doughnut mastoplexy’ to give her a six-pack. Tara has had two breast augmentation procedures, the second to correct uneven boobs as a result of her first breast enlargement surgery.
Denise Richards, former bond girl has admitted racking up (ah-hem) 2 separate boob jobs to get the look she desired.
“I was 19 and my roommate had the best boobs ever, and she’d just had hers done, I was flat as board and I thought ‘Woa, you can just buy them’
Breast implants aren’t for everyone, however as Natalie Portman stated ‘breast implants gross me out, I don’t think they’re attractive at all’. Hilary Swank caused mild uproar at the 2010 Oscar party by wearing a dress that revealed her breast surgery scars and caused a ‘side-boob’ to form.
Gisele Bundchen, pictured in our video, is rumoured to have undergone breast implant surgery as her boobs now appear fuller and more prominent compared to the earler shots of her slender, athletic frame. The supermodel has neither confirmed, nor denied these accusations.
The pictures of Amy Winehouse before and after breast implant surgery are significantly different to leave little doubt the truth of the rumours regarding her boob job transformation. The troubled singer has also gained a few pounds to achieve a softer curvier image but the cup size increase is definietly not just the result of a few more meals!

George Clooney Plastic Surgery - Before and After
George Clooney, born in 1961, is still the ultimate male heartthrob, universally adored by women of all ages. Actor, director, producer and screenwriter, George Clooney is the King of Hollywood with countless Academy Award nominations and a broad career spanning comedy, drama, film noire, romance and action.
George Clooney is best loved for his silver fox image and twinkly eyes. He has consistently ranked highly in celebrity ‘Hot Lists’ for sexiest male for over 10 years. However, good looks aren’t always natural and George publicly admitted to resorting to plastic surgery to maintain his sex appeal.
Possibly the urge to keep up with a girlfriend 18 years his junior inspired George Clooney to seek surgical assistance for his boyish charms. Renowned for both being fiercely private and also as a bit of a prankster, Clooney’s admission is ambiguous but the evidence appears to speak for itself. In one press interview he attributed his age-defying looks ‘drink and drugs’ however, seemed to admit to Julia Roberts during an interview for Oprah’s Oscar Special that he had had his ‘eyes done’ to ‘look awake’.
Blepheroplasty or, eye bag removal, surgery is extremely popular with both men and women and is designed to minimise the appearance of sagging eyes and dark circles that occur with age. The operation costs about £6,000.00 on average and has a recovery period of a few weeks.
Robert Redforfd, Liza Minelli, Debbie Harry and Hilary Clinton have all undergone the surgery to achieve a more youthful visage.

Celebrity Weight Loss - Before and After
The modern obsession with celebrity culture means countless famous individuals constantly in the media limelight feel tremendous pressure to look good and maintain attractive physiques. The obsession with keeping slim and losing weight is extremely powerful and most Hollywood stars invest huge amounts of time and money into keeping trim and follow strict and often, bizarre diets.
Balancing fast paced lifestyles with health and fitness regimes can be tough, as we all know, and we are now familiar with witnessing in immense detail, the plight of the rich and famous as they fall from grace and undergo their own individual weight loss battles that are both won and lost in the public eye.
Celebrities such as Britney Spears and Jessica, who rose to fame in the late 1990’s at the tender age of 16, have essentially grown up in this obsessive climate and have clearly suffered as a result.
At 16, Britney Spears represented a fresh-faced and bouncy blend of Christian and cheerleader. She incorporated harmless but sexy flirtation into a squeaky-clean image that suited her music and her fan-base. However, 10 years on and Britney has undergone a series of deeply troubling and extremely public breakdowns and her image has evolved into a more tragic figure with dramatically fluctuating weight. After a disastrous appearance on MTV in 2007 Britney told the media she looked ‘like a fat pig’ and was appalled by the disappearance of her once ultra-toned body. By early 2009 Britney had revamped her image returning with a comeback album, dramatic weight loss, new slim-line physique and a more mature music and fashion style.
Jessica Simpson careered to fame also with a vibrant pop-music career in the late 90’s. Quickly capitalising on her fame Jessica starred in a reality TV show, ‘Newlyweds’ with her husband Nick Lachey. Jessica was wildly revered as a pin-up girl with a stunning curvy frame and flawless complexion. Jessica gained 10lbs in weight after the birth of her first child and was amazed at the reaction of the media and celebrity magazines to the changes in her appearance.
“People were talking about my weight for an entire year, it’s like people just couldn’t stop talking about my weight fluctuating.”
Natalie Cassidy, star of Eastenders lost 2 ½ stone and dropped 4 dress sizes at the age of 25 through moderating her diet and taking up strict exercise toning and aerobic work outs. Famous for her role as dowdy Sonia, Natalie decided to shake off her frumpy image and get slim and sexy after leaving the show. Natalie says ‘I cut right down on alcohol’ and advises ‘eat breakfast’. The release of pressure after retiring from the soap opera allowed Natalie to reinvent herself and commit to an exercise regime in her own time. In contrast Mel B, or Scary Spice, found that the freedom she gained after the Spice Girls split in early 2008, meant she gained weight and increased her dress sizes as the party lifestyle too over. Mel B has struggled with her weight and yo-yo’s between a UK size 14 and a size 10.
