As the demand for facelift surgery in Mumbai continues to rise, I recently had the opportunity to visit and interact with one of the city’s widely respected aesthetic surgeons — Dr. Siddharth Prakash. Known for his meticulous techniques, ethical clarity, and deep understanding of facial anatomy, Dr. Prakash has become a trusted name among individuals seeking natural-looking rejuvenation.
During my recent visit as a medical journalist, I explored the evolving landscape of facelift surgery in Mumbai, observing how doctors like Dr. Siddharth Prakash are reshaping expectations with refined, anatomy-focused techniques. What follows is an unbiased account based on my clinic interactions, interviews, and insights from both Indian and international experts in the field of facial plastic surgery.
Dr. Siddharth Prakash’s medical journey spans more than two decades. After completing his MBBS and MS in General Surgery, he pursued an MCh in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery — a super-specialty demanding years of training and precision. His further fellowships in facial aesthetic surgery and minimally invasive rejuvenation place him among the most experienced surgeons in the field today.
His clinic reflects the same level of discipline and sophistication. Consultation rooms feature digital imaging for preoperative planning, while the operation suites follow strict, NABH-aligned safety protocols. What stood out most to me during the interview was Dr. Prakash’s counseling style — empathetic, methodical, and rooted in realism. “A facelift must respect the natural architecture of the face,” he said, “not overwrite it.”
The clinic functions as a comprehensive aesthetic center with dedicated spaces for lasers, injectables, minor procedures, and postoperative care. A separate anesthesiology panel ensures safe and seamless day-care surgeries. Privacy seems to be a high priority — private waiting lounges, segregated entry points, and discreet recovery areas accommodate clients who prefer low visibility.
The technological landscape is equally impressive. From advanced cautery systems to deep-plane surgical instruments and high-grade sterilization equipment, the setup reflects a commitment to precision-driven care.
A leading facial plastic surgeon known for structural facelift work, Dr. Shome emphasizes the importance of customizing surgical plans based on skin quality, elasticity, ligament strength, and overall facial proportions. His philosophy aligns strongly with Dr. Prakash’s approach.
Recognized globally for the Extended Deep Plane Facelift, Dr. Jacono advocates for techniques that lift deeper tissues rather than simply tightening skin. “Natural outcomes are the new expectation,” he often explains — a thought echoed by many Indian surgeons adapting similar philosophies.
