Procedure: Abdominal Bulk Reduction
Why this surgery: Post the birth of my second child, despite all efforts the belly area was not reducing. It was looking disproportionate. I am all in for body positivity but this issue was affecting my morale, deeply.
Why Dr Chugh: unfortunately, no one openly discusses or recommends aesthetic surgeons. So i relied on Google reviews. Was further convinced by the insightful YouTube videos he shares. I met him in Sept and we decided on the surgery. He recommended bulk reduction instead of full tummy tuck since I was yet to achieve my weight loss goals. I also agreed since my goal was to look proportionate and not a model. Some tests showed by hba1c levels to be on the higher side, so I took a couple of months to bring them in control. All this while, Dr Chugh's assistant, Pragyan was in touch with me and guiding me.
Pre operative experience: i was very nervous, thanks to news articles about patients dying on operating table. But the pre operative exams(echo, ecg, chest tray, other tests) helped ease my anxiety.
Operation and hospital experience: Check in at CKB was smooth, thanks to Pragyan. And surgery happened as planned. No complications. I was able to go to the washroom the night of the surgery itself. Was discharged the next day.
Recovery: The 1st few days were uncomfortable but non unmanageable. I started wearing compression garment a few days after surgery and started lymphatic drainage massage too. The massage is painful but extremely helpful in recovery. After 10 days things slowly started going back to normal. I went for a concert after 4 weeks, danced non stop, did not face any issue. Went for a beach holiday 6 weeks after procedure..again, things were perfect. Now, 8 weeks after procedure, I have re- started my workouts as usual.
Would heartily recommend Dr Chugh for this and other procedures. He is non judgemental, and not aggressive (he won't take unnecessary risks, medically). He and his team ensure the patient understands the procedure before proceeding. Also, post surgery appointments are not chargeable, that's very sweet of the team.
Ps: a surprise benefit of the surgery was my back pain which vanished post the surgery!
