For Your New Figure


Obesity affects two of every three people. For those morbidly obese patients, dieting and exercise just doesn’t work. Their excessive weight adversely affects their quality of life and that  of their families. They are in constant discomfort with aching joints and backs. They are high risk candidates to develop ischemic heart disease (IHD), diabetes or cancer. For them Bariatric surgery is their only hope, and their last resort.
Most Bariatric surgeries performed are gastric bypasses. A gastric bypass sections off a section of the stomach and re-routes food to the small intestine. This results in less food intake and a reduction in the calories absorbed by the body.
One drawback to bariatric surgery is that over time the loss of pounds may result in large pockets of loose, sagging, unattractive, excess skin. This excessive skin can continue to interfere or just looking good.
Your Surgeon
Prior to undergoing any Bariatric procedure it is important to consult with your surgeon. Together you can plan to deal with removing the final mark of your obesity. The excess skin left behind after your body looses weight.
Body Contouring
Body contouring can improve your figure and remove the excess skin and fatty deposits that are left after your Bariatric surgery.
The most common post Bariatric body contouring surgeries combine liposuction with excision body lifting. Generally body lifting is divided into the central body and trunk lift, the inner thigh lift, the arm lift and a breast lift or reduction
What will my recovery be like?
You will go home after the procedure and rest for at least 24 hours, after which you may gradually increase your activity as tolerated. Some discomfort and pain is to be expected, but it can be controlled with medication. The bandage over the incision site will be removed the day after surgery and you will be able to shower. Generally, it is necessary to wear a light compression garment two to three weeks after your surgery. All sutures are internal and absorbable. After 2 or 3 days you may resume most non-strenuous activities. Most patients return to work after a week or two. Sport and other strenuous activities are prohibited for at least two months.  
How will my skin look after surgery?
During the first 10 to 14 days, you will be bruised at and the surgical site. Scars will be red for the first few months, but they will gradually fade. Patients who have had liposuction will have more swelling than those who only had a lift performed. The use of smaller cannulas during liposuction allows the fibrous connections between your skin and body to remain. These connections will contract over time, after which the excessive skin folds will be gone. Following your surgery, you will enjoy the new more pleasing youthful shape you desire.

Nothing is quite as beautiful as smooth, soft & glowing skin.



Skin is body’s largest organ and one of the most important because it protects all other organs of the body from external environment. While doing duty of gardening the body, skin itself gets affected by these external factors and over ages, the effects of the sun, wind, time and hormones begin to appear on it. But now maintaining its youthful & vibrant appearance doesn’t have to be a difficult process any longer.
Understanding Skin
Our skin is made up of two layers. The outer layer which is visible is called epidermis. This layer is gets replaced periodically about every 3 months as newly produced cells in its deepest layer push outer layers upwards & cells from the uppermost layer get shed off without our knowledge. One can test this by rubbing the forearms against each other over a beam of sunlight entering the house & the sun flakes will shine on it.  The inner layer, called dermis is the main layer. It is many times ticker than the epidermis & contains important appendages of the skin such as oil & sweat glands, hair roots, blood vessels & nerve ending through which we sense the external world by touch, temperature & pain sensation. So, given a simily of a house wall, epidermis is the external thin layer of plaster, while the dermis being the thick main brick wall. Here the bricks are collagen with interspersed elastin fibers as plaster.
The Aging process
The early signs of aging are when fine lines begin to appear on skin around the eyes and lips. This is because the collagen and elastin fibers begin to wear out and then deeper lines and grooves form between brows (frown lines), next to the nose on cheeks (naso- Labial folds) and down to the corners of the mouth. Surface irregularities such as pigment discolorations may also occur.
Many patients wish that there was a safe, easy and quick way to get rid of their red complexion, fine wrinkles, irregular pigmentation and large pores. Fortunately, today advanced technologies enables us to treat these skin imperfections safely, easily and effectively with very little, if any downtime.
Laser Rejuvenation         
Advances in the treatment of aging skin have continued to improve from dermabrasion to chemical peels to CO2 and Erbium laser skin resurfacing. However all of these treatments exfoliate the protective outer layer of the skin, which may require bandages and a somewhat lengthy recovery period.
Who are the best candidates for photo rejuvenation?
The best candidates have:
·         Red, flushed faces
·         Sun damaged skin
·         Hyper pigmentation
·         Enlarged pores
What results can be expected?
After each session you will experience some improvement in skin tone and texture. There will be decrease in the overall redness and flushing. Sun spots will fade, pore size will shrink. Fine lines and wrinkles will gradually decrease in size and number as the new collagen forms beneath the skin. You will experience tightness of facial skin. These improvements will continue with subsequent treatment.

सौंदर्यवृद्धीसाठी कॉस्मेटिक सर्जरी


कॉस्मेटिक सर्जरी हि प्लास्टिक सर्जरीची एक उपशाखा आहे. सौंदर्य वृद्धी साठी करण्यात येणाऱ्या सर्व ऑपरेशन चा यात अंतर्भाव होतो. यात नाकाचा आकार सुधारणे, जाड ओठ  पातळ करणे वा पातळ ओठांना 'पाऊट' देण्यासाठी फुगीरपणा आणणे, तोंडाच्या आतून ऑपरेशन करून गालावर सुंदरशी खळी पाडणे, अर्धवट मिटलेली पापणी टोसीस सर्जरीने उघडणे,हनुवटीचा आकार प्रमाणात आणणे, हनुवटी खालील 'डबल चिन' लाय्पोसक्शन ने काढून टाकणे, तसेच शरीराच्या कुठल्याही भागावरील अतिरिक्त चरबी  कायमची काढण्यासाठी लाय्पोसक्शन हि शस्त्रक्रिया वरदानच ठरते

वार्धक्याच्या खुणा पुसून टाकण्यासाठी फेस लिफ्ट, फोरहेड लिफ्ट, डोळ्याभोवतीचा फुगीरपणा कमी करण्यासाठी ब्लेफेरोप्लास्टी या शस्त्रक्रिया वापरल्या जातात. चेहऱ्यावरील छोट्या सुरकुत्या, कपाळावरील, भुवया जवळील आठ्या 'बोटोक्स' इंजेक्शनने चुटकीसरशी घालवता येतात.

कॉस्मेटिक सर्जरीने फक्त माणसाचं दिसण सुधारत अस नाही तर त्या व्यंगामुळे आलेला न्यूनगंड जाऊन ती व्यक्ती अंतर्बाह्य 'सुंदर' होते, नवीन आत्मविश्वासाने आपली ध्येये साध्य करायला पुढे सरसावते.
