Yes, you can pay your consultation fee at the consultation center.

No, liposuction cannot be used to treat obesity. Liposuction removes localized areas of fat from specific areas of your body. However, it is not a full-body weight loss method. While the fat removed by liposuction is permanently gone, your body can regrow fat in the areas from which it was removed. Obesity is a complex condition, and its treatment should consist of a combination of diet, exercise, behavioral modification, and, based on the individual case, medication or surgery.

Cellulite is made up of fat collections that push against the connective tissue beneath your skin, giving it a lumpy or dimpled appearance. Cellulite is often seen on the stomach, thighs, and buttocks. Though liposuction can remove soft fat tissue from your body, it cannot remove cellulite. This is because you have fibrous bands of tissue under your skin rather than soft, fatty tissue.

Yes. People of any gender can undergo liposuction. It is a surgical procedure that helps remove excess fat from specific areas of the body. It helps improve your body contour and proportion irrespective of your gender. You can talk to your doctor to understand if you are a good candidate for liposuction. 

Yes, we will offer you free transportation that will pick you up from your home on the day of admission and drop you back once you get discharged.

There are no strict food restrictions following gallbladder removal surgery. However, because of gallbladder removal, the liver releases bile in a continuous, steady stream into the small intestine rather than in response to meals. Some dietary modifications may be recommended until your body adjusts to the absence of the gallbladder. The doctor may ask you to avoid high-fat foods and gradually reintroduce fats into your diet. You may be asked to eat small meals more frequently rather than three large meals a day. The doctor may also ask you to limit your fiber and caffeine intake and stay adequately hydrated to prevent constipation and promote healthy digestion.

You may notice that the costs for certain surgeries are 50% - 60% lower on direct payment through Medfin when compared to the cost of the same surgery outside. This is because of Medfin’s asset light business model which helps bring down the cost without compromising on quality. Our asset light model means that we partner with top surgeons and hospitals, but we do not have to pay for these assets full time, but only when you require surgery. You are assured of top doctors practicing at top hospitals who will perform your surgery at our partner hospitals which are also some of the most technologically advanced medical facilities.

The gallbladder is not an essential organ for life. It serves no essential purpose in the body other than storing bile, which is produced by the liver. When the gallbladder is removed, bile still flows from the liver to the small intestine, but it does not get stored in the gallbladder. People who have their gallbladders removed recover fully and lead normal lives. They just have to be cautious about their diet to manage any digestive symptoms. For a while after the removal of the gallbladder, your doctor may instruct you to avoid oily, deep-fried food items and eat smaller yet more frequent meals.

You will be assigned a Medfin assistant who will complete the required registration and paperwork before you arrive. Once you are at the consultation center, your Medfin assistant will guide you to the doctor. Once you are done, and you may need a diagnostic procedure to be performed, your Medfin assistant will help you find the closest and most affordable center to get it done.

In the unlikely scenario where you may feel that the doctor has not spent enough time with you or are not satisfied with the consultation for other reasons, we will offer you a free consultation with one of our other doctors.

We can organise a second appointment with another Medfin specialist free of cost.

If gallbladder inflammation is treatable with medicine, antibiotics can be a potential course of action. Lifestyle changes such as eating a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding high-fat and high-cholesterol foods may also help improve gallbladder function and reduce symptoms. In some cases, a doctor may recommend endoscopic procedures or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) to remove gallstones from the body. However, if these steps fail, surgical removal of the gallbladder is the only truly effective long-term treatment.

Ensure to carry all your past records such as blood tests, medical prescriptions, scans etc. If you are coming to see the doctor to finalise your surgery, do remember to carry your photo ID and insurance card (if available).

In most cases, patients are able to go home on the day of the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. You can start off with most daily activities on your own the next day and get back to your normal routine within a week. However, it is advised to avoid lifting heavy objects and extreme physical exertion till your doctor says so. Seek your doctor's instructions before going back to your daily life, based on the specifics of your case.

After liposuction, contact your doctor immediately if you observe:

• Persistent pain

• Fever
• Shortness of breath or chest pain

A general surgeon specializes in performing surgeries and understands all the basic areas of surgery, including the gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, and other abdominal organs. However, to perform this procedure, the surgeon should be specially trained in laparoscopic surgery.
