"I just wanted to say I was a patient of Dr. Amitabh in 1984 at temple Univ. I had breast augmentation. I still have my implants today and have never had a single problem 32 years later. Now that's a great plastic surgeon! !!!! Liz Ricciardi"
"very impressed with dr. mitra. very professional and knowledgeable. in the waiting room i talked to another patient who is a lawyer and a teacher. they both said the same. they felt that he is one of the best surgeons they have ever seen. he is easy going and explained every thing to me and even gave me his personal phone no in case i have any more questions. i had cosmetic surgery done by him and every one is impressed with my post operative outcome. i think he is a great surgeon. "
"very friendly. helpful. Dr. mitra was very informative. He did the breast reconstruction for my Mom. excellent outcome. Very confident. Other patients all vouched for him. Even my primary care doctor got operated by him. Strange enough he is always in Castle connolys best doctor list but not in Philadelphia mag! I had abdominoplasty with great result "

The later operation will not cure the instability.but start with CT scan.this will not cause internal injury or problem.
