In a world where aesthetics and self-confidence often go hand in hand, plastic surgery has evolved from being a luxury to a life-changing science. From reconstructive procedures to advanced cosmetic enhancements, modern plastic surgery now offers safe, effective, and natural-looking results. To understand this transformative field better, I met Dr. Siddharth Prakash, widely regarded as the Best Plastic Surgeon in Mumbai, at his well-known clinic — Ambrosia Aesthetics, located in South Mumbai’s upscale medical district.
Walking into Ambrosia Aesthetics, one instantly senses the calm professionalism that mirrors Dr. Prakash’s personality. His clinic is equipped with cutting-edge surgical facilities, sterilized operation suites, and a consultation area that prioritizes patient comfort and confidentiality.
Dr. Siddharth Prakash is a board-certified Plastic, Cosmetic, and Reconstructive Surgeon with more than 18 years of experience. He completed his M.Ch. in Plastic Surgery from one of Mumbai’s top medical institutions and pursued advanced training in aesthetic surgery in the United States and Singapore. His work bridges the gap between artistry and surgical expertise — ensuring that results are subtle, balanced, and in harmony with the patient’s natural features.
“I believe plastic surgery isn’t about transformation — it’s about refinement,” he shared during our conversation. “The goal is to enhance beauty while maintaining individuality.”
At Ambrosia Aesthetics, Dr. Prakash performs a diverse range of procedures, including rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), liposuction, facelifts, breast augmentation and reduction, gynecomastia surgery, and body contouring. His clinic is also known for minimally invasive facial rejuvenation techniques such as dermal fillers, botulinum toxin (Botox), and scar revision procedures.
What stood out in his practice is the ethical approach — Dr. Prakash insists that surgery should never be impulsive. Every patient undergoes a thorough consultation process involving facial analysis, medical history review, and psychological readiness assessment. “Plastic surgery must be a conscious, informed decision,” he says.
Within India, experts like Dr. Debraj Shome and Dr. Sunil Choudhary has contributed significantly to both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. They, along with Dr. Prakash, represent a generation of surgeons redefining aesthetic medicine in India — combining global standards with cultural sensitivity.
Globally, pioneers such as Dr. Garth Fisher and Dr. Bryan Mendelson has elevated plastic surgery to an art form. Their shared focus with Indian specialists lies in creating results that appear effortless — the kind of enhancement that looks “born that way.”
Like any medical intervention, plastic surgery offers both benefits and challenges.
