Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck or belly tuck, is a popular cosmetic procedure offered at the Canadian Specialist Hospital in Dubai. Our experienced plastic surgeons can help you achieve a flatter, more toned abdominal profile by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. Whether you're looking to address the effects of pregnancy, significant weight loss, or simply genetics, this surgical solution can provide transformative results.
Abdominoplasty, or a tummy tuck surgery, is a surgical procedure performed by our plastic surgeons at Canadian Specialist Hospital that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying abdominal muscles. This can help create a smoother, more contoured appearance to the midsection.
Improved Abdominal Contour: Abdominoplasty can dramatically improve the appearance of a protruding or sagging abdomen, creating a flatter, more toned look.
Tightened Abdominal Muscles: The procedure can repair and tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles, restoring core strength and stability.
Reduced Excess Skin: Removing excess, loose skin can eliminate the "apron" of skin that can develop after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
Boosted Self-Confidence: By addressing concerns about the midsection, abdominoplasty can significantly improve body image and self-confidence.
There are several variations of abdominoplasty to address different needs:
Full Tummy Tuck: Removes excess skin and fat from the entire abdomen, from hipbone to hipbone.
Mini Tummy Tuck: Addresses only the lower abdomen below the navel, removing limited excess skin and fat.
Reverse Tummy Tuck: Focuses on tightening the upper abdomen above the navel.
Our plastic surgeons at Canadian Specialist Hospital will recommend the most suitable approach based on your specific concerns and desired outcomes.
Abdominoplasty is considered major surgery, so a recovery period of 4-6 weeks is typical. During this time, you may experience:
Swelling, bruising, and discomfort managed with medication
Wearing a compression garment to support the abdomen
Gradual return to normal activities and exercise
Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
The results of abdominoplasty are considered long-lasting, but it's important to maintain a stable weight through a healthy lifestyle. Significant weight fluctuations can compromise the outcome. With proper care, you can enjoy your flatter, firmer abdomen for years to come.
