I am a 52 years old woman who underwent two surgeries together 4 years back which were galbladder removal by laproscopy and uterus removal by open surgery, prior to that I had two children by cesarian section but that was 27 years and 20 years back respectively. Generally people with surgeries have tendency to gain weight. Although I keep my diet control and am not overweight but my belly above the stitches marks on the lowest part of abdomen remains protruding, kindly tell how can I reduce my hanging belly. Rest of my body is normal and not fat. Thanks

Ans: Yoga is the best remedy for your body, not only Asanas but as a lifestyle. It will gradually strengthen your core and thus the protruding belly will get back in shape. Please try and find a good Yoga teacher/ institute nearby to start practice.

Dr. Shakeeb good afternoon, I am 63, my belly is quite visible and give very bad looks. I need it should be reduce and normal shape. I also walk 6-7000 steps.
Ans: Dear Sir, Thank you for your inquiry. Understanding concerns regarding belly size is crucial, as it can also contribute to back pain. Achieving a reduction in belly size entails embracing a comprehensive approach that encompasses healthy eating habits, regular physical activity, and lifestyle adjustments. Here are some guidelines to assist you in reaching your desired goal: Focus on maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, while avoiding processed foods, sugary snacks, and high-fat meals. Incorporate a variety of exercises into your routine, including cardiovascular workouts like walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming, to burn calories and reduce overall body fat, including belly fat. Additionally, include strength training exercises such as weightlifting or bodyweight exercises to build muscle mass and enhance metabolism. Targeting specific abdominal muscles through exercises like crunches, planks, and leg raises can help tone and strengthen the core. Monitor your caloric intake and limit consumption of sugary and processed foods. Consistency is key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight and reducing belly fat, so remain dedicated to your diet and exercise regimen while exercising patience with your progress. With commitment and perseverance, you can work towards achieving your desired waist size and overall health goals, thereby alleviating concerns related to back pain.

Plastic-Aesthetic Surgeon, Emergency Care Consultant - Answered on Dec 05, 2024

Dear Doctor, I work as a corporate lawyer in Delhi. I’ve been considering undergoing a cosmetic procedure for my skin for some time now, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of surgeons available. I want to ensure that I choose someone who is experienced, as this is a big decision for me. Could you advise what I should look for when selecting a plastic-aesthetic surgeon? Are there any specific red flags I should be aware of when researching potential surgeons? I want to make sure I’m in safe hands. I’m 40 years old.
Ans: This is a beautiful question.
Before I dwell on your question, there are a few points which are very important for the patient to know.
1. You should roughly know what result you wish to have.
2. Never think of a perfect result. There is no such result.
3. You must think in terms of improvement and if you are sble to achieve more than 90% approx, it can be considred good.
4. Dont compare your results with any celebrity's result. There body structure is different, they have probably taken better care till now and importantly, the result you see on a public platform is after make up and not the real result. Some times it may be a photoshopped image
5. Let your doctor know if you have any medical history and addictions.
6. Don't go with pre concieved notion (especially if you have researched a lot online). Discuss with the doctor, listen to his/ her views and raise your concerns if any
7. Try and see some results of the doctors work (Remember, too good a result may not be the true result). Realistic result is what you should want to look at and believe.
8. Don't fall for less budget! its obvious a meticulous job needs more surgical time. This means that the doctor may charge more. Seniority also adds to the cost.
What I mean, there is a price to be paid for a good job.(whether medical or anywhere).
Now coming to the Plastic surgeon's choice.
1. Research well, but dont fall prey to only advertisement. Small and big centers, both advertise,
2. Dont fall for glamour. You are going to a surgeon. A plastic surgeon's clinic is clean but not lavish generally. At least I believe that the person coming is not a client, but a patient. A patient - Doctor relationship is more pure than a client-Professional relationship.
3. Talk and discuss with the doctor. A too busy doctor may not always be the best doctor for you. Plastic surgery is about thinking, planning and execution. A doctor who thinks aloud about your problem ( especially if ut us face, nose, breast etc) is applying his/ her knowledge for your betterment, because every oerson is different.
4. Check the resilts? Look for genuinity.
5. Be wary of arrogant, loud and boisterous people. There is a difference between confidence and fambloyence.
6. Doctors who are attached to reputed hospitals are generally good in their work.
7. A doctor who can talk about probable complications is also a doctor worth trusting.
I hope I am able to do justice to this difficult question. All the best. You can write again if you need any other clarifications.
