Making Decision regarding procedure: I finally had abdominoplasty and breast reduction after contemplating it for over 10 years. I investigated many options in India and abroad. Researching for the most suitable doctor and suitable hospital was a bit challenging. Had to think of many things like doctor’s experience in the field, procedure results, availability, finance, type of pre and post care available, hospital where the doctor works where the procedure can be carried out, hospital environment, support, hygiene, equipment used, after care, in patient care given, etc. I visited 2 cities in India for this and decided to finally have it done in Mumbai. Coming from abroad meant I had to make a few expensive visits to India to decide where and who I will be comfortable with for the procedure.

Tye first consultation is most crucial, hence I narrated my current requirements, my past surgical history, and my lifestyle in general. He heard me patiently and examined each and every part which needed his attention. He inspected thoroughly and laid down the pros and cons of surgical intervention in each if those areas. He was thorough and patient. During the day of surgery, he made the markings and showed it to me before going into the OT room. Surgery went for around 4 hours. No surprises during surgery. Post op, he got me a high quality (expensive) compression garments which are better in quality than the ones I used from previous surgeries. The analgesic cover was good. Nursing care and response was good. Basic food such as oats, omlette, toast coffee, tea was provided. If u Fancy something extra, u will have to order from nearby food joints. There was no bleed or discharge from the skin incisions after day 2 of surgery. After discharge from hospital on day 3, I met him on day 6 for follow up. Stitches were removed by sister Gracie (beautiful n motherly in nature). We observed that the swellings have reduced (especially in chest regions... Which is where I had lipo). Nipple correction looked much better than before. Although I was warned earlier that complete symmetry is not possible at all, yet I liked the smaller and more regular looking nipple albeit a slight asymmetry. Now will have to wait and watch my body heal and take shape over next few months. Only wish was if they could include automatic beds in private rooms and reduce the overall charges slightly. But so far no regrets. Oh, and he is one of the few good looking docs I have seen. :-)
