Dr. Santosh Bhatia, Board Certified Plastic And Cosmetic Surgeon has enlisted the elements which you must look for when searching for an aesthetic surgeon in Mumbai to undergo any of the breast surgeries mentioned above:

 1.The surgeon must be highly qualified and board-certified. 

Ensure that the surgeon possesses the required and necessary qualifications and has a good reputation. As there are many cosmetic surgeons in the market, you might get confused while choosing the perfect surgeon for you; however, making sure that your surgeon has got all the necessary qualifications ensures that he/she is highly trained and can be trusted with the job. As it is necessary and important to consistently produce good, natural-looking, and aesthetically pleasing results in cosmetic surgeries, you should also consider the surgeon’s aesthetic sense, skills, and the results he/she has been producing along with his/her qualifications. 

2.Confirm that the surgeon has got substantial experience. 

Each cosmetic surgeon has a different specialty area. Make sure that the surgeon has the expertise and experience in the type of surgery you are considering to get. Get as much information as you can about the surgeon’s previous cases, see before and after pictures, and testimonials by patients to check whether the surgeon has been able to produce satisfactory results consistently.

 3.Ensure that the cosmetic surgery clinic is well-equipped and follows all hygiene and safety measures

Your safety should be the surgeon’s top priority throughout the whole procedure and he/she should be able to complete the whole procedure in a facility that is well-equipped and has advanced technologies. Ensure that the strict standards for safety, quality health care, staffing, and proper equipment are met.

4.Analyze the way the surgeon is providing you the information and answering your questions. If the surgeon is giving vague answers to your queries and is unable to provide information about technicalities and small details regarding the surgery,

accreditation of the facility, risks and complications involved in the surgery, follow-up check-ups, medications, the average cost of the surgery, etc. or instead of focusing on the actual procedure and your concerns, is trying to offer financial deals or is convincing you to get unnecessary surgical procedures then you need to identify these red flags and start looking for other surgeons. A trustworthy and experienced surgeon will always listen to your expectations and queries, answer all of them transparently and explain the important details of the surgery in a thorough manner.

5.Check whether the surgeon’s way and style of working are acceptable to you.

You need to be completely sure that the surgeon’s style, aesthetic sense, way of working, the results he or she has been producing are appealing to you. Carefully study the surgeon’s previous results and before-after photos and ask yourself whether you would like to get a similar kind of result for yourself. Check if the surgeon’s way of treatment and type of result matches your needs, situation, your aesthetical goals, and overall expectations you have. In addition to this, make sure that the surgeon and his/her way of working and interacting with you are transparent, all the fees are clearly mentioned, the surgeon and his/her staff are trustable and prepare you for all the risks and realities of the surgery.

6.Make sure that you are comfortable around the surgeon and his/her staff.

During this whole procedure, you will need to be completely open and honest in front of your surgeon. During the consultation, you will learn in-depth about the whole procedure, what you will need to be prepared for before the surgery, which steps to take for a speedy recovery, little details and suggestions to make this whole experience comfortable for you etc. Also, you will need to prepare yourself to discuss your medical history, habits related to your health, the reason you want to get the surgery, any emotional or physical struggles you have faced due to your breasts; in addition to that, the surgeon may do a physical examination of your breasts and take pictures of them. So, it is essential and important for you to completely trust the surgeon and his/her staff and be absolutely open and comfortable around them.

Choosing a breast surgeon in a metropolitan city like Mumbai is not an easy task. There are multiple options for you to choose from. However, along with the cost of the procedure, it is necessary to keep in mind all the things mentioned above in order to have a smooth and comfortable surgery and recovery.
