Services offered:

Body sculpting
Body sculpting, also known as body contouring, is a term used to describe a range of aesthetic procedures which is designed to improve the appearance of the body. At Sakra World Hospital, we use both surgical and non-surgical methods. Body sculpting is used to address common areas including the face and neck, breasts, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, waistline, back, and calves.

Tummy tuck procedures (abdominoplasty)

At Sakra World Hospital, we employ the following options for tummy tuck procedures.

Endoscopic abdominoplasty: It is a minimally-invasive procedure used to deal with loosened stomach muscles.

Mini abdominoplasty: It is a less extensive procedure used to deal with up to moderate or limited sagging skin, loose muscles, and excess fat.

Full abdominoplasty: This procedure is used to address significant sagging skin, loose stomach muscles, and fat.

Extended abdominoplasty: This procedure is used to address a more massive amount of excess fat and skin. It helps in improving the appearance of the upper thighs and abdomen.

Circumferential abdominoplasty: It is a procedure used to address aesthetic issues of the lower thighs and buttocks.

Lower body lifts: Lower body lift is an extension of the circumferential abdominoplasty. It involves removing excess skin and fat, re-contouring the lower body, and tightening the buttocks, stomach, and thighs.

Thigh lift
Patients who have had massive weight loss can attain shapely and fit legs through thigh lifts. This procedure involves removing excess skin from the thighs and tightening the remaining skin to give a youthful appearance. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia. A small incision will be made depending on the area or areas to be treated.

Inner thigh lift incision: There are three ways to perform this procedure. One is performed by making an incision in the groin, extending downward, and wrapping around the back of the thigh. Another one is performed by making an incision along the inseam and removing the excess skin.

Outer thigh lift incision: For outer thigh lift, a small incision is made from the groin around the hip and across the back. This procedure is performed to improve the contours of the outer thigh.

Liposuction
Liposuction, also called fat removal, is a versatile technique used by itself or as a part of a tummy tuck procedure to remove excess fat and skin. At Sakra World Hospital, we use the latest technology for this procedure such as a power-assisted liposuction machine.

Post-pregnancy aesthetic procedures
Pregnancy can be tough on a woman’s body. From a sudden increase in weight to ever-expanding skin, women’s bodies undergo several battles that they are afraid to show. Post-pregnancy aesthetic procedures can help in reshaping the breasts, stomach, and complexion. It focuses on four areas, including breasts, love handles, abdomen, vagina, and labia.
