In the vast majority of cases, excess abdominal skin is best treated with tummy tuck surgery. This procedure can address multiple concerns including skin laxity, weakened muscles, fat accumulation, and stretch marks. It’s important that every patient undergo a critical analysis of their specific problems. Each patient’s anatomic deformity is slightly different and this should be reflected in the treatment plan. Although there are occasional patients that benefit from laser skin tightening, the majority of patients will require abdominoplasty to correct their problems.

What happens if you have been lugging a 20 kg load around your tummy for the last few decades? And mind you, continuously, day in day out, every moment of your life. Even the porters at railway stations work in shifts and take a breather after each such effort. This is the story of a middle aged lady from Iraq who had was suffering because of a large amount of fat that had deposited in the region of her belly. She had developed severe back pain and had great difficulty in walking. She was suffering from hygiene issues and her activities of daily living ...
... were an ordeal.

She underwent a successful body contouring surgery at Artemis Hospital Gurgaon where around 20kg of her overhanging fat and skin were removed.

Since the patient had an enormous belly it was impossible to assess any abnormalities such as a hernia or any other intra abdominal abnormalities. A CT scan was done which revealed a hernia in the caesarean scar.

The lady has recovered well, the wounds have healed well and she is ecstatic. She is grateful to Artemis for giving her a new lease of life and is so much more confident about herself. Her husband is also thankful for their quality of life that has vastly improved. The patient had become a diabetic with high blood sugars and what has come as a bonus is that now her sugars are normal and there is no requirement of insulin.

The Team included 3 plastic surgeons - Dr Vipul Nanda, Dr Manik Sharma, Dr Raja Tiwari and 2 general surgeons - Dr Mayank Madan and Dr Shambhu. It was a challenge for the anesthetists too. 'She will need a corset (abdominal binder) for 3 to 4 months.'

Body contouring surgery is an excellent option in individuals who have excess deposits of fat which is stubborn and has not responded to exercise and diet. It is thus complimentary to bariatric surgery which is becoming popular weight loss treatment. As plastic surgeons we are involved in contouring all areas of the body from the head to toe.

India with its expert healthcare providers, including facilities such as Artemis Hospital Gurgaon, should feel proud that people come from far and wide, get treated and return to their homes satisfied.
