The surgery combined breast augmentation with bilateral brachioplasty—a procedure that removes excess skin from both arms—to restore natural contours and enhance symmetry.

UAE—Thumbay Institute of Aesthetics (TIA) at Thumbay Hospital Fujairah has completed an advanced body contouring procedure on a young female patient who had undergone significant weight loss following bariatric treatment.
While shedding excess weight represents a transformative health achievement, many patients discover that their physical transformation remains incomplete without addressing the excess skin, altered proportions, and lost volume that accompany dramatic weight reduction.
Expert surgical leadership brings specialized care to Fujairah
Dr. Shankar Mohanarangan, a consultant plastic surgeon with over two decades of experience in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, led the procedure.
The surgery combined breast augmentation with bilateral brachioplasty—a procedure that removes excess skin from both arms—to restore natural contours and enhance symmetry.
Rather than following a standardized approach, the surgical team carefully designed the operation to align with the patient’s unique post-weight-loss anatomy and personal aesthetic goals.
Beyond this specific case, Dr. Mohanarangan brings extensive expertise in body contouring techniques, including liposuction, fat transfer, abdominoplasty, breast procedures, and complex reconstructive surgeries.
His appointment strengthens TIA Fujairah’s plastic surgery department, expanding access to world-class aesthetic care throughout the emirate.
Multidisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive recovery
TIA Fujairah recognizes that bariatric patients often require a second surgical phase to complete their transformation journey.
The institute manages each case through integrated planning, rigorous safety protocols, and coordinated postoperative care.
This multidisciplinary approach ensures patients achieve both aesthetic refinement and sustained physical stability long after surgery.
Building regional infrastructure for aesthetic excellence
According to Mr. Akbar Moideen Thumbay, Vice President of Thumbay Group’s Healthcare Division, the institute represents a commitment to delivering advanced aesthetic and reconstructive services within the community.
He emphasized that post-weight-loss body contouring addresses far more than cosmetic concerns—it restores the confidence patients need to fully embrace their transformation.
Thumbay Group aims to position Fujairah as a destination for safe, ethical, and comprehensive aesthetic care.
The expansion of specialized plastic surgery services aligns with the group’s broader vision of strengthening regional healthcare infrastructure while enabling patients to access metropolitan-level expertise without leaving the emirate.
Clinical excellence in focus
The successful procedure underscores TIA Fujairah’s dedication to clinical excellence, patient safety, and personalized aesthetic outcomes.
With a dedicated aesthetic unit, experienced surgical leadership, and support from Thumbay Group’s extensive healthcare network, the institute continues establishing new standards in plastic and reconstructive surgery across the region.
As demand for post-weight-loss corrective procedures grows, TIA Fujairah remains positioned to deliver advanced surgical solutions with precision and measurable results.
