Dr chandran and his medical team are very welcoming and caring the office is professional and clean. Dr chandran took the time to discuss my requests and concerns and did not hesitate to answer and listen! He has been an amazing surgeon for both operations he has preformed on me He offers his opinions and valid points while listening to my wants and outcomes! Would recommend him for any plastic surgery!
Hey!! I have been following these reviews for quite some time now and decided its my turn to start to share my story... I am 145 lbs, 5'5- and carry most of my weight( and stretch marks) in my midsection. I consulted with Dr. Chandran in Saskatoon for a mommy makeover. He was confident, informative, and honest regarding my expected results. His nurse assistant (his wife) showed me before and after pictures of his work and promptly answered any and all questions I had. I feel confident in this surgeon, however, I am concerned that he has very few reviews online and I haven't been able to correspond directly with anyone who has had a personal experience with him. Anyone have a personal experience or know anyone how as had surgery by him?!?!!? We decided on Natrelle Inspira 345-365cc silicone textured implants without a lift (may need one in the future, depending how the implants fill out my existing tissue) - and a full tummy tuck (hoping to do it with no drains but they may be necessary) Five weeks and 2 days until the big day!! YIKES I'm getting nervous. I have NEVER had surgery before, and am worried about being put to sleep. I have my bestfriend coming to stay with me post op for a few days to help out with my children so I can get some rest. I have taken 6 weeks off work. I would love to find a surgery partner to correspond with and share experiences with! Updated on 6 Sep 2017: I went in to see my GP today for a prescription renewal- and I asked her if she had any experience with Dr. Chandran- she told me she had reffered a couple of her patients to him for breast reconstruction and she was incredibly impressed with his work! What great news- she said he is a true artist! There aren't very many recent reviews online about him so that sure put my mind at ease! (although when meeting with him he was very confident its nice to get an outsidders opinion as well) I am trying my best to get my body into the best physical shape I can prior to my surgery. I weighed in today and wasn't impressed at all. (148lbs) Decided to pull up my socks and really focus on healthy eating and exercise to prepare my body for the upcoming surgery, I have a goal of 30 mins cardio (treadmill) and a lower body workout from beach body on demand 6 days per week. I bought some black button up pj's today to wear to the surgery, and a zip up post op bra. EEEEKKK this is becoming so real! Sooo thankful to have the support of my family doctor and husband going through this as I am not sharing with many people.
Thank you for the question. Seromas are not uncommon after body contouring procedures. Although it is not known exactly how seromas occur, there is likely many factors including the amount of dissection, technique, use of compression and nutritional factors. There are some techniques that your surgeon will employ during and after your surgery that will help decrease seroma rates including drains, compression and other things during surgery. However, despite these techniques, the rate of seromas is not zero. If you do develop seromas, your surgeon can drain it fairly easily. I find, that in my practice, I ask patients to wear compression garments all the time for 6 weeks and then tight garments like spandex or Spanx for 6 weeks afterwards. They only take the compression garments off for showers and social engagements. I find that, although it seems excessive, my seroma rates are quite low. The compression devices also help shape the area of the body while it is healing and help with swelling as an added bonus.
