Dr. Patankar, a well-known plastic surgeon, has for several years performed various types of plastic surgery, from reconstructive to cosmetic. He aims to develop whether plastic surgery is life-saving, beneficial or unwanted and superficial. His conversation tries to answer whether plastic surgery is necessary and whether an operation can change the individual’s identity. Dr. Patankar, a gold medalist from the University of Bombay, specializing in LASER surgery from the United States, is the recipient of the “Best Research” award from the Association of Plastic Surgeons of India. Plastic surgery is one of the topics that almost everyone gets upset about. Only the potential to change your appearance and perhaps your fate raises difficult questions. Does Plastic Surgery Improve Life? Is our obsession with appearance a new disease – or a constant human concern that has taken many forms ?. Is it a way to reveal – or perhaps hide – the “real” self? Is there a moral difference between different costs of doing different jobs? What is plastic surgery – a simple act of self-help or an incredible whirlwind of contradictions that reflects the complexity of modern culture? Dr. Patankar’s lecture answers these questions, whether it changes face … changes fate and identity.
