I had surgery with Dr. Karthik, and he encouraged me to share my journey. One of the most important things I can advise anyone considering surgery is to do thorough research. It truly helps to understand what to expect, follow others’ experiences, and be well-prepared. Initially, I considered traveling to Turkey, but a close friend recommended Dr. Karthik. After looking into his work, I decided to reach out, and everything fell into place from there.
From the very first consultation, Dr. Karthik was reassuring and professional. We had detailed discussions, shared photos, and created a customized surgical plan. I trusted him completely. Over time, I underwent multiple procedures, including a tummy tuck, arm lift, breast lift, and thigh lift, and a non-surgical procedure with him to achieve my desired transformation. Dr. Karthik carefully planned each surgery to ensure the best results, and his expertise made me feel confident throughout the process.After each surgery, I had the option to stay in the hospital as long as needed, but I recovered quickly and preferred regaining my independence sooner. In the two weeks following each procedure, I visited regularly for dressing changes and assistance with washing, and the care I received was exceptional.
One crucial part of recovery is wearing a compression garment, and I can’t emphasize enough how amazing the nurses at Chennai Plastic Surgery are. They were incredibly patient and experienced, helping me wear it properly, which is essential for healing. Recovery takes about three months to feel like yourself again. After my last surgery, it took me 12 weeks to fully regain normalcy, especially since I had an open wound that required daily check-ups until it closed. During this period, I had to avoid baths and swimming, but every bit of patience paid off in the long run.
Two weeks after surgery, I was cleared to fly home, but the aftercare didn’t stop there. Dr. Karthik and his team continued to support me via WhatsApp and video calls. Once home, I started manual lymphatic drainage massages, which I found incredibly helpful in reducing swelling and speeding up recovery. Though not widely recommended by all surgeons, I learned about it through social media and personal research. Additionally, I used silicone gel and strips for scar treatment, which made a noticeable difference in softening scars and improving overall healing.
Now, a few months later, I’m back in India for CO2 laser treatment to further enhance my scar healing. My tummy is still slightly swollen, but I understand that full recovery takes time—sometimes up to a year. Surgery is not an instant fix, but rather a journey, and I am beyond happy with my results. Every day, things improve, and I am so grateful to Dr. Karthik and the incredible team at Chennai Plastic Surgery. If you are considering surgery and need a recommendation, I wholeheartedly encourage you to reach out to them. It’s been a truly life-changing experience!
