As a medical journalist researching cosmetic breast procedures in Mumbai, I reviewed the approach followed by Dr. Siddharth Prakash at Ambrosia Aesthetics. Breast augmentation in Mumbai is generally considered by women who want to increase breast volume, improve breast shape or restore fullness after pregnancy, weight loss or ageing.

Breast augmentation, also called augmentation mammoplasty, is designed to increase breast size and improve proportions. Silicone implants remain one option, particularly for women seeking a more substantial increase in volume. Another approach is fat-transfer breast augmentation, in which excess fat is removed from areas such as the abdomen, thighs or hips through liposuction, processed and then transferred to the breasts.
