Anika Saxena, a 42-year-old software project...
Anika Saxena, a 42-year-old software project manager and mother of two, had always been active. However, after her second pregnancy, she developed stubborn pockets of fat on her abdomen and flanks that resisted all her efforts at diet and exercise. This 'mommy pooch' made her feel disconnected from her formerly athletic self and self-conscious in professional attire. Her primary care physician, after ruling out hormonal issues, suggested a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. The surgeon recommended targeted liposuction to address these specific, diet-resistant areas, explaining it as a contouring procedure rather than weight loss. Anika underwent tumescent liposuction under local anesthesia. The procedure itself was uncomfortable but manageable, and she was sore and swollen for the first week. Over the next three months, with consistent compression garment wear and a return to her healthy lifestyle, the swelling subsided to reveal a smoother, more proportionate contour. Emotionally, her journey was from frustration and a sense of betrayal by her own body to regained confidence. She felt like she had reclaimed a part of her pre-motherhood identity, not for anyone else, but for her own sense of wholeness and comfort in her skin.
