Fujairah: The Thumbay Institute of Aesthetics (TIA) at Thumbay Hospital Fujairah successfully performed an advanced post-bariatric body contouring surgery on a young female patient following significant weight loss after bariatric treatment.
The complex procedure marks an important step in addressing the aesthetic and functional challenges many patients face after massive weight reduction.
Addressing challenges after major weight loss
While bariatric surgery can significantly improve health and quality of life, patients often experience excess skin, altered body proportions and loss of volume after substantial weight loss. These changes can affect both physical comfort and psychological confidence.
Post-bariatric body contouring procedures aim to restore body proportions, improve skin tightness and help patients achieve a balanced and natural appearance after their weight-loss journey.
At Thumbay Institute of Aesthetics Fujairah, the treatment was carefully planned to meet the patient’s specific anatomical and aesthetic needs following bariatric surgery.
Complex surgery performed by experienced plastic surgeon
The surgery was led by Dr Shankar Mohanarangan, Consultant Plastic Surgeon with over two decades of experience in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.
The operation involved two key surgical interventions: breast augmentation and bilateral brachioplasty (arm lift surgery). These procedures were performed to restore contour, improve symmetry and remove excess skin while maintaining natural-looking results.
Dr Shankar Mohanarangan has extensive expertise in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, including liposuction, fat transfer, abdominoplasty, breast augmentation and reduction, mastopexy, rhinoplasty, facelift procedures, Botox and dermal fillers, thread lifts and complex reconstructive operations.
His presence strengthens the plastic surgery services at the institute and expands access to specialised aesthetic care for residents of Fujairah and surrounding regions.
Integrated care for post-bariatric patients
Post-bariatric body contouring is often considered the second phase of transformation after significant weight loss. Patients who undergo bariatric procedures frequently require additional corrective surgeries to address excess skin and refine body contours.
The procedure at TIA Fujairah reflects the institute’s multidisciplinary approach, where surgical planning, patient safety protocols and post-operative recovery are managed through coordinated medical care.
This integrated approach ensures not only aesthetic refinement but also long-term stability and improved quality of life for patients.
Strengthening aesthetic healthcare in Fujairah
Commenting on the development, Mr Akbar Moideen Thumbay, Vice President – Healthcare Division at Thumbay Group, emphasised the importance of expanding advanced aesthetic services within the emirate.
“Thumbay Institute of Aesthetics in Fujairah represents our commitment to bringing advanced, world-class aesthetic and reconstructive services closer to the community. Post-bariatric body contouring is not merely cosmetic; it is about restoring confidence and helping patients fully embrace their transformation journey,” he said.
He further noted that the expansion of specialised plastic surgery services aligns with the group’s broader vision of strengthening regional healthcare infrastructure while ensuring that patients receive metropolitan-level expertise without travelling outside the emirate.
Commitment to clinical excellence
The successful surgery highlights the institute’s focus on clinical excellence, patient safety and personalised aesthetic outcomes. With increasing demand for corrective procedures following weight loss, advanced aesthetic centres play an important role in completing the patient’s transformation journey.
Backed by the healthcare ecosystem of Thumbay Group and supported by experienced surgical leadership, Thumbay Institute of Aesthetics Fujairah continues to set new benchmarks in plastic and reconstructive surgery across the region.
