Dr. Anirban Ghosh is a leading Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeon based in Kolkata, known for combining surgical expertise with an artistic understanding of form, function, and confidence. With more than a decade of experience and over 20,000 successful procedures to his credit, he has established himself as one of the most trusted names in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.
Currently associated with Manipal Hospitals, Kolkata, Dr. Ghosh is also the founder of ANIRVANA Aesthetic Clinic, a state-of-the-art plastic surgery center established in 2022. Supported by a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, the clinic was built with a vision to provide comprehensive, ethical, and personalized care in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
His medical journey began with MBBS and MS in General Surgery from the West Bengal University of Health Sciences, followed by MRCS (UK) and super-specialization in Plastic Surgery through MCh from IPGMER and SSKM Hospital, Kolkata. Years of rigorous training and surgical experience shaped his approach, where technical precision is matched with compassion and a deep understanding of patient expectations.
Over the years, Dr. Ghosh has developed expertise across a broad spectrum of procedures including rhinoplasty, liposuction, fat grafting, breast surgeries, scar revision, blepharoplasty, facial rejuvenation, and facial feminization surgery. He is equally passionate about reconstructive procedures, particularly in burn and trauma reconstruction, where restoring confidence and quality of life becomes just as important as restoring physical appearance.
His contributions to the field have earned him recognition both nationally and internationally. A Gold Medalist during his MBBS years, he was recently honored as the Most Promising Plastic Surgeon of 2025 and has received multiple accolades for his work. He is also an active member of several prestigious professional organizations, including APSI, IAAPS, ASI, APSWB, MRCS, and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Beyond the operating room, Dr. Ghosh believes in educating the public and increasing awareness around plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine. Through newspaper columns, health magazines, and public engagement, he strives to dispel myths and promote informed decision-making.
Deeply inspired by his parents and guided by the values of discipline and perseverance, Dr. Ghosh believes that success is built through consistency and continuous learning. His message to young professionals is simple: dream fearlessly, stay focused, and never allow temporary challenges to limit your long-term vision.
For Dr. Anirban Ghosh, plastic surgery is not merely about changing appearances—it is about restoring confidence, rebuilding lives, and helping individuals become the best version of themselves.
