HYDERABAD: In a first in Pakistan, the doctors at Hyderabad Civil Hospital have conducted the first successful free tummy tuck surgery of a lady on Monday.

According to details, Dr. Kashan Sheikh and Roshan Chandio conducted a tummy tuck surgery on a 55-year-old lady from Matiari. 8 kilograms of excess fat were cut out during the surgery, according to Dr. Roshan.

The surgery for weight reduction enabled the woman to shift from her bed after 14 years of suffering she endured due to the obesity problem.

As per reports, Surgeon Professor Maaz ul Hassan ‎did the free-of-cost bariatric surgery on the school teacher who used to weigh as much as 200 kilograms.

“The cost of the bariatric surgery is typically up to Rs2 million,” Maaz ul Hassan stated, and continued that he did the surgery free of cost because as a doctor, they must alleviate a person’s sufferings.
