As a medical journalist, I have always been intrigued by how modern cosmetic surgery blends science, art, and psychology. Recently, I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Siddharth Prakash, a leading Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeon based in Mumbai, known for his expertise in facelift surgery in Mumbai. The encounter was both insightful and eye-opening, offering a balanced understanding of why patients opt for this procedure, what they can expect, and how the field has evolved globally.
Walking into Ambrosia Aesthetics, Dr. Prakash’s clinic in Mumbai, one is immediately struck by its minimalistic yet patient-friendly design. The consultation rooms are thoughtfully set up with advanced diagnostic equipment, before-and-after simulation tools, and an ambiance that feels warm rather than clinical.
Dr. Prakash, with over two decades of experience, has trained at prestigious institutions in India and abroad. He completed his MBBS and MS in General Surgery before pursuing M.Ch in Plastic Surgery from Mumbai, and further honed his craft through international fellowships in advanced cosmetic procedures. His focus lies not just on surgical expertise but also on understanding the psychology of patients who seek to enhance or restore their youthful appearance.
During our conversation, Dr. Prakash explained that facelift surgery is not about changing identity, but about refreshing appearance. Many patients in their late 40s to 60s seek the procedure when non-surgical methods like Botox or fillers no longer yield desired results.
India has seen a steady rise in demand for cosmetic surgery, and surgeons like Dr. Rajesh Khanna, is recognized for similar expertise in facial rejuvenation. Internationally, surgeons such as Dr. Sherrell Aston, a pioneer in modern facelift techniques, has influenced global standards in safety and aesthetics.
Like any major procedure, facelift surgery has its advantages and challenges.
