A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening the underlying muscles. It helps create a flatter, firmer, and more toned midsection.
Tummy tuck in Dubai, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles.

A tummy tuck is a comprehensive procedure that reshapes and strengthens the abdominal area. Below is an overview of the process:
Before surgery, Dr. Sanjay conducts a detailed consultation to assess your abdominal structure and discuss your desired results. The surgical areas and incision lines are carefully marked to ensure precision.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure complete comfort throughout the surgery.
A horizontal incision is made just above the pubic area. The length of the incision depends on the amount of excess skin being removed. Through this incision, surplus skin and fat are removed, and weakened abdominal muscles are tightened.
Once excess tissue is removed and muscles are tightened, the remaining skin is repositioned smoothly and closed with sutures, resulting in a firmer and more contoured abdomen.
Proper preparation is essential to ensure a safe procedure and optimal results. Patients are advised to follow these guidelines:
Fasting Instructions: If general anesthesia is used, fasting before surgery is required. Detailed instructions will be provided in advance.
During the tummy tuck procedure, the following steps are carefully performed:
General anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort throughout the operation.
A horizontal incision is made along the lower abdomen, usually just above the pubic hairline. The size of the incision depends on the extent of correction required.
Excess fat may be removed using liposuction if necessary, and the abdominal muscles are tightened to create a flatter, stronger midsection.
The abdominal skin is pulled downward, and excess skin is trimmed. In many cases, the belly button is repositioned to maintain a natural appearance.
After reshaping the abdomen, the incisions are closed with sutures, and a compression garment is applied to support healing.
Following proper aftercare instructions is crucial for smooth recovery and long-lasting results. Patients are advised to:
Post-Operative Care: Keep incision sites clean and dry, follow wound care instructions, and attend all follow-up appointments.
Recovery after a tummy tuck occurs gradually and varies from patient to patient. General recovery expectations include:
Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common. Light walking is encouraged to improve circulation and support healing.
Light daily activities can gradually resume, but strenuous movements should still be avoided. Swelling continues to decrease, and early results become noticeable.
Complete recovery may take up to six months. As swelling fully subsides, the final results become visible, revealing a flatter, firmer, and more sculpted abdomen.
