Breast Augmentation Surgery in Mumbai
Beautiful, Balanced, and Unmistakably Yours
Breast augmentation is one of the most performed cosmetic procedures worldwide and one of the most personal. Some women want to feel proportionate after years of feeling ‘flat’. Others want to restore volume lost after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Some are correcting asymmetry. Many simply want to feel more confident in clothes, in swimwear, and in their own bodies. Whatever the reason, breast augmentation should be tailored to your frame, your goals, and your lifestyle never built around a generic ‘look’.
Dr. Rachana Tataria offers breast augmentation in Mumbai at Fortis Hospital, Mulund. With an FRCS in Plastic Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons, England, and fellowships in oncoplastic breast surgery from leading UK NHS hospitals, she brings a rare advantage to cosmetic breast surgery: every aesthetic decision is informed by deep reconstructive understanding of breast anatomy, blood supply, and tissue behaviour. As a female surgeon, she also understands what most patients want a natural, balanced result that nobody else needs to know about unless you tell them.
Types of Breast Augmentation Offered
Silicone Implant Augmentation
Using FDA-approved cohesive silicone gel implants from internationally recognised manufacturers (Motiva, Mentor, Allergan/Natrelle).
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Using your own fat, harvested via liposuction from areas like the abdomen or thighs and grafted to the breast for a modest, fully natural enhancement.
Hybrid Breast Augmentation
Hybrid Breast Augmentation means combining an implant with the fat grafting to optimise size, softness, and the natural contour.
Implant Decisions That Shape the Outcome
The right implant is not about ‘big or small’ it is about a combination of decisions that together create the final result. Dr. Rachana Tataria takes you through each one during consultation:
Implant Shape
Round (uniform projection) or anatomical/teardrop (more natural slope) depending on your existing shape and aesthetic goal.
Implant Surface
Smooth (preferred in modern practice for lowest BIA-ALCL risk) or microtextured.
Implant Placement
Sub-glandular (above the muscle), sub-muscular (under the pectoralis), or dual plane (a balanced combination).
Implant Profile
Low, moderate, high, or extra-high projection, matched to your chest width and frame.
Implant Volume
Chosen using chest measurements and 3D simulation rather than a single 'cc' number.
Incision Site
Inframammary (under the breast fold, most common), periareolar (around the nipple), or transaxillary (in the armpit).
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Women aged at least 18 (recommended 21+ for silicone implants per global practice).
In good general health, non-smoker or willing to stop smoking.
Unhappy with the size, shape, or proportion of the breasts.
Volume loss after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss.
Breast asymmetry that cannot be camouflaged with bras.
Realistic expectations about size, scarring, and the long-term nature of implants
The Procedure
Breast augmentation is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
A carefully planned pocket is created either above or below the chest muscle after the incision.
The implant is inserted using a sterile sleeve and triple-antibiotic irrigation to reduce infection risk.
Implant position is checked for balance and symmetry by briefly elevating the patient upright.
Closure is completed with absorbable sutures, and most patients return home the same day.

FAQs : Breast Augmentation in Mumbai
Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive gel that feels closest to natural breast tissue. Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water and may show more rippling. Modern practice in India and globally uses silicone implants almost exclusively.
Size is chosen using a combination of chest wall measurements, tissue assessment, sizers, and 3D simulation, never by 'cup size' alone. Dr. Tataria's approach prioritises proportion, frame, and lifestyle over a single number.
Most women can breastfeed after augmentation, especially when the inframammary incision and a sub-muscular or dual-plane pocket are used. Periareolar incisions carry slightly more risk to milk ducts, which is discussed in consultation.
Modern silicone implants do not have a fixed expiry date. Most patients can expect 15–20 years or longer. Replacement is needed if there is rupture, contracture, or significant aesthetic change.
Scars are placed in the inframammary fold, around the areola, or in the armpit — all areas where they are concealed. They typically fade significantly over 12–18 months with proper scar care.
Purely cosmetic breast augmentation is not covered by insurance. Reconstructive augmentation (after asymmetry, congenital deformity, or post-cancer) may be partially covered with documentation.
Yes, many patients have augmentation before completing their family. Pregnancy and breastfeeding may change breast shape over time, but implants themselves are not affected. A future lift may be discussed if significant changes occur.
