Pune: The Army is going for a facelift. The high stress levels of defence personnel have been making headlines for a while now, but help at least of the aesthetic kind is at hand.

Cosmetic surgeries are now on the house for all defence personnel. The southern command hospital in Pune will provide free cosmetic treatment to all army men and women opting to go under the knife.

"In an environment where we have to interact so much it helps to have a pleasing face. It invokes confidence from your colleagues,” says eye specialist, Southern Command Hospital, Pune, Colonel Sumant Anand.

This is a fact that Colonel Bhargava vouches for. And this amyman says he doesn’t worry about his worry lines anymore.

And he's not alone. In the last six months, the Command Hospital in Pune has performed at least 250 cosmetic surgeries.

"When commanders want to become executive commanders, they still want to look as young and as youthful as they were in previous rank,” says commandant, Southern Command Hospital , Pune, Colonel P Bhargava.

The southern command hospital attracts many defense personnel from across the country for surgeries that can make them look and feel better.

And so seeing the overwhelming response, the hospital will soon have a center dedicated completely for aesthetic surgeries.

And the costs include Rs 20,000 for a mole removal, Rs 40,000 for getting rid of a double chin, up to Rs 75,000 for a nosejob and almost a lakh for liposuction.
