Specialties & Expertise
His practice spans the full spectrum of plastic surgery, with particular depth in breast and body procedures.
Breast Surgery
Breast procedures remain one of the clearest strengths of the practice, from refined augmentation planning to lift, reduction, and reconstruction. Motiva Preservé and implant-based augmentation are central parts of that work.
Body Contouring
Body procedures are approached with the same emphasis on proportion, softness, and long-term balance, whether the plan centers on contour refinement, restoration after pregnancy, or a more comprehensive silhouette change.
Reconstructive Surgery
Restoring form and function after cancer, trauma, or tissue loss remains a core part of the practice. That includes facial reconstruction, breast reconstruction, and cases that demand both technical precision and aesthetic judgment.
Gender Affirmation Surgery
Dr. Kapadia approaches all patients, including those seeking gender affirmation procedures, with respect, dignity, and unwavering expertise. Individualized planning is central to that process.
