Dr. Rachana Deepak Tataria is a Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon at Fortis Hospital, Mulund, Mumbai. She has more than 14 years of experience according to Fortis Healthcare, with a specialist focus on breast reconstruction, oncoplastic procedures, aesthetic breast surgery and body contouring.
Dr. Tataria holds MBBS, DNB in General Surgery, DNB in Plastic Surgery, MCh in Plastic Surgery and FRCS in Plastic Surgery qualifications. She also completed a Royal College-accredited fellowship in Oncoplastic Breast Surgery in the United Kingdom.
Her international surgical training includes breast microvascular reconstruction fellowships at Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester and Southmead Hospital in Bristol. She has also worked as a Consultant Plastic Surgeon at Manchester University Hospital in the United Kingdom.
Her documented clinical expertise includes autologous breast reconstruction using tissue flaps, implant-based reconstruction, breast augmentation, reduction and lifting procedures. She also performs selected body contouring operations, including abdominoplasty, liposuction and fat grafting.
Dr. Tataria received recognition as Best Outgoing Postgraduate Student in Plastic Surgery at Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute. She is involved in academic, teaching and research activities and emphasises evidence-based treatment, patient safety and realistic surgical expectations.
DIEP flap reconstruction uses skin and fat from the lower abdomen to recreate a breast after mastectomy while preserving the abdominal muscles. Microsurgical techniques reconnect blood vessels to maintain tissue circulation. Suitability depends on anatomy, previous surgery and individual health.
Transverse upper gracilis flap reconstruction uses tissue from the upper inner thigh to reconstruct a breast in selected patients. The transferred tissue requires microsurgical blood vessel connections. This approach may be considered when abdominal tissue is unsuitable or another donor site is preferred.
Latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction uses muscle and overlying tissue from the back to help recreate a breast following surgery. It may be combined with an implant when additional volume is necessary. Selection depends on the patient's anatomy and reconstructive goals.
Implant-based breast reconstruction uses a breast implant, sometimes following placement of a tissue expander, to restore breast shape after mastectomy. The approach may involve one or more operations. Planning considers skin condition, previous radiation treatment and expected outcomes.
Oncoplastic breast surgery combines cancer removal with plastic surgical techniques to preserve or reconstruct breast shape. The method may involve rearranging remaining tissue or using reconstructive procedures. Planning must prioritise appropriate cancer treatment and surgical margins.
Nipple reconstruction is a procedure that may be performed after breast reconstruction to recreate the projection or appearance of the nipple. Techniques vary and may be combined with medical tattooing. The choice depends on tissue condition, patient preferences and previous treatment.
Breast augmentation increases breast volume using implants or selected fat transfer techniques. Surgical planning considers body proportions, tissue characteristics and patient expectations. Patients should understand potential complications, implant maintenance requirements and the possibility of future procedures.
Breast reduction removes selected breast tissue, fat and skin to reduce breast size and reshape the breasts. It may be considered for physical discomfort or other functional concerns. Surgery requires assessment of health, anatomy and expected recovery.
Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, reshapes and elevates breast tissue by removing excess skin and repositioning the breast. It may be performed alone or alongside other breast procedures. The surgical approach depends on breast anatomy and treatment goals.
Tuberous breast correction addresses a developmental breast shape difference characterised by a constricted breast base and altered tissue distribution. Surgical techniques may involve tissue reshaping, implants or other reconstructive measures. Treatment is personalised according to anatomy and patient preferences.
Accessory breast tissue removal treats additional breast tissue, commonly located in the underarm area. Surgery may be considered for discomfort or other concerns. Techniques can involve excision, liposuction or a combination depending on the amount and location of tissue.
Abdominoplasty, also called a tummy tuck, removes excess abdominal skin and may tighten separated abdominal muscles. It is a body-contouring procedure rather than a substitute for weight reduction. Surgical planning considers abdominal anatomy, previous operations and overall health.
Liposuction removes selected localised fat deposits through small incisions using suction-assisted techniques. It can modify body contours but does not treat obesity or replace weight management. Suitable patients require assessment of skin elasticity and overall medical fitness.
Fat grafting transfers processed fat from one body region to another to improve contour or volume. It may be used in breast reconstruction or selected aesthetic procedures. Some transferred fat may be reabsorbed, and additional procedures may be needed.
