Overview
A mother shares her experience of developing a pronounced abdominal skin sac and severe stretch marks following childbirth three to four years ago. After spending significant time and money on unsuccessful treatments at multiple hospitals and fitness centers, she consulted Dr. Anjali Saple at Divyam Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery, who performed a tummy tuck combined with 360-degree liposuction. The results eliminated her abdominal belly fat and excess skin, allowing her to return to work within one week and wear sarees and other clothing comfortably again.
Choosing Dr. Anjali Saple
After searching online and locally, the patient found Dr. Anjali Saple through positive word-of-mouth and Google research. She was drawn to the doctor’s reassuring manner, transparent cost communication, and patient approach during consultation.
“I will definitely treat this, and it will turn out perfectly. Do not be afraid.”
Three Years of Failed Treatments — and What Finally Worked
Following childbirth, the patient developed a large abdominal skin sac and significant stretch marks. She visited multiple hospitals and tried microneedling, fitness centers, and medication, all of which failed to reduce the sac or the stretch marks. It was only after consulting Dr. Anjali Saple that a surgical path forward became clear.
“There is absolutely no abdominal belly fat, and there is no enlarged skin either. I am very surprised, and my family is also very surprised.”
Tummy Tuck and 360-Degree Liposuction: The Procedure
Dr. Anjali Saple performed a tummy tuck along with 360-degree liposuction at Divyam Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery. The surgery was completed within the agreed timeframe, and the patient was discharged in a healthy condition able to walk independently.
“Being able to join my duty within just one week… I was able to walk and come out of the hospital completely healthy. All of these things surprised me a lot, and I felt very happy.”
Rapid Recovery and Return to Duty
The patient was able to return to work within just one week following surgery and was discharged from the hospital in full health. She described the speed and ease of recovery as surprising and wonderful.
“Recovering so easily and quickly, and recovering in a very healthy way, felt really wonderful to me.”

Post-Treatment Results and Quality of Life

Conditions & Treatment
Post-pregnancy abdominal skin laxity (skin sac): A large sac-like protrusion of skin under the abdomen that developed after childbirth and did not resolve with non-surgical treatments, fitness, or medication.
Post-pregnancy stretch marks: Stretch marks that developed alongside the abdominal sac following childbirth; did not reduce despite microneedling and other treatments.
Post-pregnancy abdominal belly fat: Persistent abdominal fat accumulation following childbirth, which did not respond to fitness programs or other interventions.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Performed to remove the large abdominal skin sac and excess skin that developed following childbirth. Surgery was completed within the agreed timeframe and resulted in elimination of the enlarged abdominal skin.
360-Degree Liposuction: Performed alongside the tummy tuck to address abdominal belly fat circumferentially. Resulted in complete elimination of belly fat with no residual excess skin.
