Tummy Tuck In Dubai
Goal
- Getting rid of stomach fat and excess sagging skin
- Tighten loose abdominal muscles
- Increasing the firmness and smoothness of the abdomen.
- Getting waistline in shape.
A taut, toned stomach is a physical ideal for both men and women. However, the effects of ageing, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy make this ideal unattainable for many people.
Our bodies change as we get older. Even if we consume the same amount of calories and exercise at the same rate as we did when we were younger, muscle mass declines, and our metabolic rate slows, making it easier to store fat. Changing hormone levels are also to blame, as both men and women begin to retain more fat around the stomach, particularly in the area beneath the belly button.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) procedure aids you in achieving a flat stomach in such cases.

What is a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty in Dubai?
If you’ve had multiple pregnancies, significant weight loss, or simply ageing has caused your belly to protrude and sag, then a tummy tuck surgery in Dubai is an apt belly-fat reducing procedure for you. The removal of a hernia, as well as genetic factors, can cause the skin to sag. Whatever the reason, a tummy tuck can significantly improve the appearance of the abdomen and make it appear flat and taut.
Types Of Abdominoplasty
Mini abdominoplasty
A mini-abdominoplasty involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen with or without tightening the abdominal muscles. Its scar is shorter than the full abdominoplasty but may be longer than the typical cesarean scar.
Full abdominoplasty
In a full abdominoplasty, excess skin and fat are removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened. It is commonly recommended after massive weight loss, which leads to excess hanging skin and loose muscles around the belly. It can be performed as a part of a mummy makeover after pregnancy if the abdominal muscles are split and loosened. The resulting scar is relatively longer, and you may also have a scar around your belly button.
What is the process all about?
Tummy tuck surgery in Dubai is a process of removing excess fat and skin from the abdomen and tightening the abdominal muscles accordingly. The targeted area becomes slimmer, toned, and more sculpted as a result. It is customised for each individual and can be combined with liposuction for a perfectly contoured stomach.
Are you an ideal candidate for tummy tuck surgery in Dubai?
In case you have had multiple pregnancies and have excess skin around the waist and belly, loss of skin elasticity, rectus muscle separation, or an abdominal hernia that causes the abdomen to ‘bulge’, a tummy tuck could be for you.
Secondly, men and women who have lost a significant amount of weight and have loose, sagging, and excess skin flaps in the abdominal area and/or waistline, usually as a result of bariatric surgery, can opt for abdominoplasty.

If you have stubborn stretch marks on your belly that don’t seem to go away, you may get a tummy tuck in Dubai.
In some cases, liposuction or another procedure may be more appropriate, so it is critical to seek the advice of a qualified and experienced surgeon before proceeding.
Remember that any subsequent pregnancies will undo the results of abdominoplasty in women who have finished having children.

What questions should you be asking yourself before abdominoplasty?
Taking a self-evaluation test to determine whether you are physically and mentally prepared for abdominoplasty is of paramount importance. The following are some questions you should ask yourself:
- Have I exhausted all non-surgical options for improving my figure, such as diet and exercise?
- Is it clear to me which problem areas and to what extent can be treated with a tummy tuck?
- Do I have realistic expectations from the results of a tummy tuck?
- Do I have a thorough understanding of the surgical procedure, how long it will take, and what I should do afterwards to promote healing and recovery?
- Is it possible for me to maintain my weight after surgery by following a healthy diet and exercising regularly?
After you’ve figured out what you need to know, you may go ahead with your preliminary consultation rounds.
Preparing for Tummy Tuck Surgery in Dubai
Our plastic surgeon will discuss the surgery’s important aspects with you during your pre-op visit, such as which technique is apt for you and what you can expect from the procedure. He’ll also give you some pre-surgery instructions to help you get ready for the procedure. The following are some examples of common instructions:
- Complete all of the lab tests that have been prescribed.
- Maintain a healthy eating routine.
Stepwise procedure of tummy tuck surgery in Dubai
- Step 1 – The first step in the surgery is to administer anaesthesia. Tummy tuck surgery is usually done under general anaesthesia.
- Step 2 – The surgeon will then make incisions at the appropriate locations. The length and location of incisions vary depending on the type of procedure. The following incisions are made:
- Full or traditional abdominoplasty is performed horizontally between the belly button and pubic hairline, as well as around the navel.
- For a mini-abdominoplasty, the incision is made horizontally between the navel and pubic hairline.
- Step 3 – The surgeon will then make the necessary changes to improve the appearance of the abdomen either through a mini abdominoplasty or full abdominoplasty.
- Step 4 – Stitches are used to close the incisions.
Post-op Care
- Keep incisions clean and dry by not rubbing them.
- To relieve swelling and discomfort, apply cool compresses.
What is the recovery period post an abdominoplasty procedure?
You will not have to the hospital for more than one or two nights. In either case, you will need to see the surgeon on a regular basis for wound management and check-ups during their recovery period.
While gentle walking is encouraged immediately after surgery to aid healing, you will be unable to drive, exercise, or return to work or normal activity for at least two weeks. A moderate exercise programme can be resumed within three to four weeks, and more vigorous exercise can be resumed after six weeks. You should completely recover and resume daily activities within 4 to 6 weeks of time.
Noteworthy
Abdominoplasty surgery results should last long if excess weight gain and pregnancy are avoided. If you gain a lot of weight or become pregnant after having an abdominoplasty, the rectus muscles and skin will become loose and saggy as before, completely reversing the previous surgery’s results.
Alternatives
to
tummy tuck
If a patient’s problem is extra fatty tissue in the abdomen area rather than sagging skin, this method can be used in place of a tummy tuck surgery. It removes excess fat from the tummy and improves the tummy’s contours while leaving minimal scars.
Laser skin tightening
Patients with mild sagging in the abdominal area may benefit from laser skin tightening
What results should you expect from a tummy tuck surgery in Dubai?
Even if there is some residual swelling, your shape will improve quickly within the next 6 months after the surgery. Your tummy tuck procedure is expected to provide you with a firmer, flatter abdomen that is more proportionate to your body type and weight. However, the results of a tummy tuck surgery may be limited if you’ve had previous abdominal surgery. Make sure to stick to a healthy diet and exercise regime to keep the results.
