Patient Review: Abdominal Bulk Reduction Surgery with Dr. Anmol Chugh
Procedure: Abdominal Bulk Reduction
Why I Chose This Surgery:
After giving birth to my second child, I found that despite all my efforts, the belly area was not reducing. It became disproportionate and affected my morale deeply. While I firmly believe in body positivity, this issue was impacting me in ways I didn’t expect.
Why I Chose Dr. Chugh:
Aesthetic surgery is something, not many people openly discuss or recommend, which made it difficult to find a trusted surgeon. I relied heavily on Google reviews, and I was further convinced by the insightful YouTube videos shared by Dr. Anmol Chugh. I met him in September, and after a thorough consultation, we decided to proceed with the surgery. Dr. Chugh recommended abdominal bulk reduction instead of a full tummy tuck since I had not yet achieved my weight loss goals. I appreciated his thoughtful approach, as my goal was to look proportionate, not like a model. Some of my tests showed that my HbA1c levels were slightly higher, so I took a couple of months to bring them under control. During this time, Dr. Chugh’s assistant, Pragyan, was consistently in touch, guiding me through the process.
I was extremely nervous about the surgery, largely due to reading news articles about complications and patients dying on the operating table. However, the pre-operative exams (echo, ECG, chest X-ray, and other tests) helped ease my anxiety and assured me that everything was being done properly to ensure my safety.
Operation and Hospital Experience:
My check-in at CKB Hospital was smooth, thanks to Pragyan’s seamless coordination. The surgery itself went as planned, without any complications. I was able to go to the washroom the same night, which was a relief. I was discharged the very next day, and I felt well taken care of throughout my stay.
Recovery:
The first few days post-surgery were uncomfortable but completely manageable. I started wearing a compression garment a few days after the surgery and began lymphatic drainage massage, which, though painful, was extremely helpful for my recovery. Around day 10, things began to feel more normal, and I felt comfortable enough to enjoy a concert four weeks after the procedure—dancing non-stop without any issues. Six weeks after the surgery, I went on a beach holiday, and once again, everything was perfect. Now, eight weeks later, I’ve resumed my workouts with no problems.
Why I Recommend Dr. Chugh:
I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Chugh for this procedure and other aesthetic treatments. He is non-judgmental, highly professional, and never takes unnecessary risks medically. His team ensures that the patient fully understands the procedure before going forward, which makes the whole experience much less intimidating. I also appreciated that post-surgery appointments were not chargeable—something that shows their care and commitment to patient well-being.
A Surprise Benefit:
An unexpected and welcome benefit of the surgery was the complete disappearance of my back pain, which had plagued me for years. I’m truly grateful for this added bonus!
If you’re considering body contouring or any other procedure, I cannot recommend Dr. Anmol Chugh enough. His expertise, dedication, and supportive team make all the difference in achieving the results you’re looking for.
