Dr. Charudatta Chaudhari — Senior Consultant in Mumbai

Dr. Charudatta Chaudhari is a Senior Consultant at Apollo Hospitals in Navi Mumbai, with more than 27 years of experience. His profile carries cosmetic and plastic surgery together with reconstructive surgery.

The reconstructive half is where the detail sits. Free flap reconstruction is microsurgical tissue transfer for complex reconstructive needs, and peripheral nerve repair is microsurgical nerve reconstruction; both need an operating microscope. Breast reconstruction covers post-mastectomy and congenital cases, skin grafting covers burn injuries, trauma and wound coverage, and contracture release addresses burn and post-traumatic contractures. Cleft lip and cleft palate repair, non-healing wound treatment including distraction osteogenesis, and scar revision and correction complete that side.

The cosmetic half is shorter: liposuction for body contouring, rhinoplasty for cosmetic and functional nasal surgery, and facelift for facial rejuvenation.

His qualifications are MBBS, MS in general surgery and an MCh in plastic surgery from The Municipal Medical College and its associated hospitals.

His academic record follows the microsurgical thread. He took an award at a reconstructive microsurgery conference for a video on long thoracic nerve anatomy, and presented a further video on peripheral nerve surgery at surgical meetings. His research subjects are flap approaches for head and neck reconstruction, post-burn contracture management, replantation techniques and distraction osteogenesis, and he has published in Annals of Plastic Surgery, the Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery and the Journal of Surgical Research, along with further papers in national and international surgical journals.
