30 April 2011 Yes. Taxable under "Cosmetic and plastic surgery services". But cosmetic surgery is not exclusively defined in the act.

Some of the commonly known cosmetic surgeries are:-
1) abdominoplasty (tummy tuck);
2) letharoplasty (eyelid
surgery);
3) mammoplasty;
4) buttock augmentation and lift;
5) rhinoplasty (reshaping of nose);
6) otoplasty (ear surgery);
7) Rhytidectomy (face lift);
8) liposuction (removal of fat from the body);
9) brow lift;
10) cheek augmentation;
11) facial implants;
12) lip augmentation;
13) forehead lift;
14) cosmetic dental surgery;
15) orthodontics;
16) aesthetic dentistry;
17) laser skin surfacing etc.
