Postpartum Body Changes and Failed Prior Treatments

Conditions & Treatment
Postpartum abdominal sac: After delivering her baby, Lavanya developed a sac-like protrusion under her abdomen that grew large over time and did not resolve with non-surgical treatments, fitness, or medication.
Stretch marks: Lavanya developed significant stretch marks following her pregnancy and the formation of the abdominal sac. They did not reduce despite multiple treatments including microneedling.
Excess abdominal skin: Lavanya had enlarged or loose abdominal skin that caused discomfort, particularly when wearing a saree, and was not corrected by prior non-surgical interventions.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Dr. Anjali Saple performed a tummy tuck on Lavanya to address a large postpartum abdominal sac and excess skin. The procedure was completed within the scheduled timeframe and resulted in no remaining enlarged or loose abdominal skin.
360-Degree Liposuction: Performed alongside the tummy tuck, 360-degree liposuction targeted circumferential abdominal and body fat for Lavanya, resulting in no remaining abdominal belly fat and a smooth contour all around.
