It was an unimaginably scary moment for Mr. Aqeel Hameed when he was shot by a sniper during an operation in Iraq. Being a Captain in the Special Forces in Iraq, it was a regular thing for Mr. Aqeel, but it was one of those unfortunate days when he suffered a gunshot wound. What was further scarier was that the bullet hit him on the face on one side and the exit wound was on the other side of the face.

What was additionally terrible was the disfigurement. It obviously was very scary because the wound was going to leave a deep scar. He tried finding a suitable Cosmetic Surgeon for this, but to his disappointment, he couldn’t find one in Iraq, as the healthcare situation in that country is not really developed. So, he was recommended the Artemis Hospital in India, which has a very appreciable success rate in the area of Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery. Without wasting much time, he got in touch with the hospital and could manage to get an appointment.

Considering the sensitivity of Mr. Aqueel’s injury, it was given the necessary priority and he was referred to Dr. Vipul Nanda. With more than 23 years of experience, Dr. Nanda has been associated with some of the best hospitals in India as well as in other countries. One of the most learned names in this field, he is experienced to handle all kinds of Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeries. So, when Mr. Aqueel’s case came to him, he was on his toes till the completion of the surgery.

According to Dr. Nanda, the location of the patient’s injury made this case an extremely intricate one. The bullet wound was close to the Temporal region and so it had to be planned very meticulously. Also, there was contour deformity and his eye was also deeply set in. So, Dr. Nanda during the surgery, the entire floor of the orbit was reconstructed and contoured. In addition to this, he also did Fat Grafting in the upper and lower lids. The surgery was very fluently done by him and the patient has shown great recovery pace. Dr. Nanda is confident and is expecting very good cosmetic results.

For Mr. Aqueel, the experience at Artemis Hospital has been beyond words. He is all praise for Dr. Nanda and says that he is very satisfied with the way the treatment as been handled by the surgeon and his team. The aftercare too has been overwhelming, and he is looking forward to flying back home and start afresh.
