Cosmetic & Aesthetic Breast Surgery in Mumbai
Breast Surgery, Reimagined With Precision and Care
Breast surgery is one of the most personal decisions a woman makes. It is rarely about vanity – it is about feeling balanced in your clothes, comfortable in your body, free of physical pain, or simply at peace with the way you look. At Dr. Rachana Tataria’s practice in Mumbai, every breast surgery is planned around what looks natural, feels right, and respects your anatomy. There is no template, no one-size-fits-all implant, no aggressive ‘look’ pushed on patients.
Dr. Rachana Tataria is a Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeon at Fortis Hospital, Mulund. With an FRCS in Plastic Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons, England, MCh and DNB in Plastic Surgery, and fellowships in Oncoplastic Breast Surgery from leading UK NHS hospitals, she brings a rare combination of cosmetic finesse and reconstructive precision to every breast surgery she performs.

FAQs : Breast Surgery in Mumbai
All surgery leaves some scarring, but Dr. Rachana Tataria uses incision techniques that hide scars in natural creases under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit. Scars typically fade significantly over 12–18 months with proper care.
Most modern techniques preserve milk ducts and nipple sensation. Many women breastfeed successfully after augmentation. Breastfeeding after reduction is possible but less predictable. This is discussed in detail during consultation, especially for younger patients.
Modern silicone implants do not have a fixed 'expiry'. With premium implants from manufacturers like Mentor or Motiva, most patients can expect 15–20 years or longer without issue. Replacement is recommended if rupture, contracture, or shape changes occur.
Implant size depends on your chest width, breast tissue, frame, and aesthetic goals not a single cc number. During consultation, Dr. Tataria uses sizers and 3D simulation when needed to help you visualise outcomes that suit your body.
Most patients describe the first 48–72 hours as moderately uncomfortable rather than severely painful. Multimodal pain management (oral medication, long-acting local anaesthesia) keeps discomfort well controlled. Most women are off strong painkillers by day 4–5.
Cosmetic breast surgery is generally not covered. Breast reduction may qualify under medical necessity (chronic back/shoulder pain). Reconstructive procedures after cancer are usually covered. Insurance verification is done before surgery.
Yes, but for long-lasting aesthetic results, surgery (especially lift and reduction) is best performed after completion of pregnancy and breastfeeding, as these can change breast shape significantly.
