International Patient from Canada Shares Her Tummy Tuck Journey in India
✈️ From Canada to India: Meet Priya’s Story
Priya Malhotra, a 38-year-old international based in Toronto, had always dreamed of reclaiming her body confidence after two pregnancies. Despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle, her loose abdominal skin and weakened core made her feel disconnected from her pre-motherhood self.
That’s when she discovered Dr. Anmol Chugh, a renowned cosmetic surgeon in India known for delivering natural-looking tummy tuck results with minimal downtime.
“I wanted a safe, scar-conscious, and affordable procedure—India seemed perfect, and Dr. Chugh’s reviews sealed the deal,” says Priya.
🎯 Why She Chose India for Her Tummy Tuck
For many international patients, India offers top-tier surgical outcomes at a fraction of the cost in countries like Canada, the U.S., or the UK.
Key Reasons Priya Picked India:
- ✅ Board-certified surgeon with international training
- ✅ 60–70% cost savings compared to Toronto clinics
- ✅ Advanced techniques for scar placement & faster recovery
- ✅ Complete virtual consultation + planning from abroad
- ✅ Post-op follow-ups handled remotely
“What I’d pay in Canada for just the surgery, covered everything in India—surgery, hotel, driver, and recovery care,” she adds.
💻 Virtual Consultation: A Smooth Beginning
Priya connected with Dr. Anmol Chugh through a virtual consultation from Toronto.
“He listened patiently, evaluated my case over video, and explained every step—no pressure, just clarity.”
Her consultation covered:
- Abdominal assessment via video and photos
- Understanding muscle separation and excess fat
- Custom plan: Full tummy tuck with liposuction and muscle repair
- Timeline, travel suggestions, and recovery process

Priya’s case involved:
- Full tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to remove excess skin
- Diastasis recti correction (muscle tightening)
- 360° liposuction of flanks and upper abdomen
- High-definition contouring for a sculpted waist
Scar placement was skillfully done below her bikini line, making it virtually invisible even in swimwear.
🤕 Recovery & Comfort
After the surgery, Priya experienced mild soreness, tightness, and fatigue on Day 1–2. But with proper pain management, she was walking slowly by Day 3.
“The first two days were the hardest. But honestly, after Day 4, I felt stronger and more like myself.”
Key recovery tips from Dr. Chugh’s team:
- Use of compression garment 24/7 for 4 weeks
- No heavy lifting for 6 weeks
- Remote check-ins via video every 7–10 days
