Overview
A mother shares her experience of developing a pronounced abdominal sac and severe stretch marks following childbirth three to four years ago. After trying multiple hospitals, microneedling, fitness centers, and medications without success, 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, and she returned to work within just one week of surgery, leaving her and her family amazed.
Finding Dr. Anjali Saple and the Consultation Experience
After searching online and locally and hearing positive reviews, the patient consulted Dr. Anjali Saple. She was drawn in by the surgeon’s reassuring and patient manner, the cost, and the procedure recommended.
“I will definitely treat this, and it will turn out perfectly. Do not be afraid.”
That reassurance proved to be the turning point after years of frustration with treatments that had delivered no results.
Three Years of Failed Treatments — and What Finally Changed
After having a baby, the patient developed a large abdominal sac and extensive stretch marks. She visited multiple hospitals and tried microneedling, fitness programs, and medication, but none of these reduced the sac or the stretch marks.
“It used to be very uncomfortable when wearing a saree; it was very troublesome.”
It was only after exhausting these options that she turned to Dr. Anjali Saple for a surgical solution.
Tummy Tuck and 360-Degree Liposuction: The Procedure
Dr. Saple performed a tummy tuck along with 360-degree liposuction at Divyam Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery. The surgery was completed within the timeline the doctor had specified, leaving the patient with no abdominal belly fat and no enlarged skin.
“There is absolutely no abdominal belly fat, and there is no enlarged skin either.”
Rapid Recovery and Return to Duty
The patient was able to return to work within just one week of surgery and walked out of the hospital in good health. She described the recovery as easy, quick, and healthy.
“Right after the tummy tuck surgery was done, being able to join my duty within just one week… I was able to walk and come out of the hospital completely healthy.”
“Recovering so easily and quickly, and recovering in a very healthy way, felt really wonderful to me.”
The Numbers Behind Her Journey

Post-Surgery Results and Emotional Impact

“Now I am able to wear sarees and different dresses.”
Conditions & Treatment
Post-pregnancy abdominal sac (pannus/apron belly): A large sac of skin and tissue that developed under the abdomen after childbirth and did not resolve despite microneedling, fitness efforts, and medication over three to four years.
Post-pregnancy stretch marks: Extensive stretch marks that appeared on the abdomen after childbirth and did not reduce with multiple treatments tried at various hospitals.
Abdominal belly fat: Persistent belly fat that accompanied the abdominal sac and was not resolved by fitness or other interventions prior to surgery.
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty): Performed to remove the enlarged abdominal sac and excess skin that developed after childbirth, resulting in a flat abdomen with no enlarged skin.
360-degree liposuction: Performed in conjunction with the tummy tuck to address circumferential abdominal belly fat, resulting in complete elimination of belly fat around the midsection.

Key Takeaways
- Microneedling, fitness regimens, and medication may not resolve post-pregnancy abdominal sac or stretch marks. — Patients who have tried conservative measures without success may benefit from knowing that surgical options exist when other treatments fail.
- A tummy tuck combined with 360-degree liposuction can address both excess skin and circumferential belly fat simultaneously. — Combining procedures may deliver more comprehensive body contouring results than a single procedure alone.
- Return to work was possible within one week of tummy tuck surgery. — Recovery timeline is a major concern for working patients; a one-week return to duty can reassure those worried about prolonged downtime.
- Clothing comfort — specifically wearing a saree — was restored after surgery. — Culturally specific clothing comfort is a meaningful, practical quality-of-life outcome that resonates with many patients.
- The surgeon’s reassuring communication style and transparent cost discussion were key factors in the patient’s decision. — Patients who have been through multiple failed treatments may be hesitant; clear communication and trust-building are critical to their commitment.
