She also has an interest in expanding the role of robotic and minimally invasive techniques in reconstructive surgery.
Dr. Mohan has experience in the management of lipedema, gender-affirming top surgeries with neurotization for sensation preservation, and body contouring surgery following massive weight loss. She also performs breast surgery, including augmentation, revision, reconstruction, and reduction; skin cancer reconstruction; esophageal reconstruction; and other reconstructive and aesthetic surgeries. Dr. Mohan believes in tailoring care to the patient’s specific needs and goals and works toward restoring form, function, and the physical and mental well-being of her patients.
Dr. Mohan’s research interests include lymphedema, lipedema, gender-affirming top surgeries, and massive weight loss body contouring. She also has a strong interest in microcirculation (blood flow through the smallest blood vessels) and has worked on surgical simulation training for microsurgery and 3D modeling projects.
Dr. Mohan has published her research in numerous peer-reviewed journals, including Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Plastic and Aesthetic Research, Annals of Translational Medicine, ePlasty, Annals of Surgery, and Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery. Dr. Mohan serves on several American Society of Plastic Surgeons committees and as a journal reviewer. She has also served as an associate editor for the Plastic Surgery Education Network and Frontiers in Surgery.

Mahati Mokkarala
Assistant Professor of Radiology (Body Imaging)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focus as a new attending will be on evaluating and implementing new technology in the radiology workplace including how technology can benefit private practice and academic radiologists.
This research focus is based on my current and previous research projects and interests. As an abdominal imaging fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, I worked on projects understanding how to apply spectral CT data in a clinical and research setting. Current projects include determining if spectral CT data can quantify normal organ characteristics. Understanding the age-old question of ‘what is normal’ is essential for determining if spectral CT data can help radiologists identify and characterize pathology.
Other previous research projects with interventional and diagnostic radiology colleagues at MIR include improving and evaluating the efficacy of multiple embolization agents. Additional diagnostic radiology projects as a resident included optimizing artificial intelligence programs that streamline radiology critical action items and better characterize glioblastoma imaging patterns. All projects had a common theme, focusing on implementing technology that could benefit both clinical and radiology practice and making sure that these tools would be useful for radiologists and other specialists. Radiology is unique because of how essential imaging interpretation is for modern medicine. An academic radiologist should be the leader in both developing and successfully integrating technology in the clinical world. -
