As a medical journalist, I often step into clinics with the intent of observing not just outcomes, but processes—how consultations unfold, how risks are explained, and how expectations are managed. During a recent visit focused on rhinoplasty in Mumbai, I interviewed Dr. Siddharth Prakash at Ambrosia Aesthetics, spending time understanding how nasal surgery is approached from both functional and aesthetic perspectives. What emerged from the discussion was a picture of rhinoplasty as a procedure grounded in anatomy, planning, and patient-specific decision-making rather than cosmetic trends.
Rhinoplasty is commonly perceived as a cosmetic intervention, yet in clinical practice it often addresses functional concerns alongside appearance. Dr. Siddharth Prakash explained that patients may seek rhinoplasty for varied reasons—nasal deformities following trauma, breathing difficulties, congenital asymmetry, or dissatisfaction with nasal proportions. Each case begins with a detailed evaluation of nasal structure, airway function, and facial balance.
In a diverse city like Mumbai, where facial anatomy varies widely, standardized approaches are rarely suitable. Instead, individualized assessment forms the foundation of responsible rhinoplasty practice.
Dr. Siddharth Prakash’s qualifications reflect extensive formal training in plastic and reconstructive surgery. His academic background includes specialized education in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures, equipping him with a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy and surgical planning. As a Plastic Surgeon in India, his training encompasses both cosmetic refinement and functional restoration.
During the interview, Dr. Siddharth Prakash emphasized that rhinoplasty requires a thorough understanding of cartilage dynamics, skin thickness, and bone structure—factors that significantly influence surgical outcomes and long-term stability.
With years of clinical experience, Dr. Siddharth Prakash has managed a broad range of facial aesthetic cases, with rhinoplasty forming a key component of his practice. As a Plastic Surgeon in Mumbai, his clinical exposure includes primary rhinoplasty, revision cases, and procedures addressing functional nasal obstruction.
His areas of expertise include:
Throughout my visit, it was evident that patient consultations are central to his approach. Time is dedicated to discussing anatomical limitations, possible outcomes, and the healing process, allowing patients to make informed decisions.
