In a world where first impressions often matter, maintaining a youthful appearance has become both a desire and a confidence booster. Cosmetic advancements have made it possible to age gracefully — not by changing who we are, but by restoring what time takes away. During my recent visit to Ambrosia Aesthetics in Mumbai, I met Dr. Siddharth Prakash, a renowned Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeon celebrated for his expertise in Facelift Surgery in Mumbai.
As a medical journalist, I was intrigued to see how art and science merge in the hands of an expert like Dr. Prakash, creating results that are subtle, natural, and deeply personal.
Dr. Siddharth Prakash’s credentials immediately reflect his dedication to medical excellence. He holds an MBBS degree followed by specialization in General Surgery (M.S.) and Super Specialization in Plastic, Reconstructive, and Cosmetic Surgery (M.Ch.). Having trained under reputed surgeons in India and abroad, his experience spans over 15 years of transformative surgeries across facial and body aesthetics.
At Ambrosia Aesthetics, located in the heart of Mumbai, Dr. Prakash leads a team of qualified professionals in a serene, patient-focused environment. The clinic is equipped with advanced operating suites, laser technology, and 3D imaging systems that help patients visualize realistic outcomes before surgery.
When asked what motivates him, Dr. Prakash said,
“A facelift isn’t about creating a new face — it’s about giving someone back the confidence they may have lost with age.”
A facelift, medically termed Rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that tightens sagging facial skin and underlying muscles to restore a more youthful appearance. It addresses concerns like wrinkles, jowls, deep folds around the nose and mouth, and loose skin on the neck.
Unlike fillers or thread lifts, which offer temporary solutions, a facelift delivers long-term rejuvenation. The surgery can be combined with procedures such as eyelid correction (blepharoplasty) or fat grafting for enhanced results.
India is home to several notable cosmetic surgeons offering similar expertise. Dr. Debraj Shome and Dr. Priti Shukla are respected names in the domain of facial cosmetic surgery. Both emphasize conservative, precision-based approaches, ensuring minimal downtime and natural results.
On the global front, Dr. Bryan Mendelson and Dr. Sherrell Aston are internationally acclaimed for their pioneering work in facelift techniques. Like Dr. Prakash, they advocate the importance of understanding facial anatomy and patient individuality — a reminder that successful aesthetic surgery is more science than glamour.
Facelift surgery, though effective, is not without considerations.
