Tummy Tuck in Dubai:

Tummy tuck is an abdominal sculpting surgery in which the lower and upper abdomen is reshaped by removing saggy skin after weight loss and minimizing stubborn fat deposits. It creates a stronger and balanced pelvic wall, which is disturbed due to metabolic fluctuations or pregnancy.

Types of Tummy Tuck:

Dynamic Aesthetic Clinic offers the following types of tummy tuck:

Lipoabdominoplasty:

Lipoabdominoplasty is a combination of traditional abdominoplasty with liposuction. Lipo (debulking of fat) sculpts the entire region, and the dual approach with tummy tuck redrapes the skin and tightens all the muscles.. 

Complete Abdominoplasty / Full Tummy Tuck:

It contains one horizontal and one vertical incision, in which the horizontal one is made across hip to hip, and the diagonal one is placed above the belly button. It provides a detailed flattening of the entire abdomen.

Partial abdominoplasty or mini tummy tuck:

It involves a shorter horizontal incision above the genital hairline that resembles a C-section scar. The surplus skin and fat are lifted up to the navel for slight alterations.

Circumferential abdominoplasty or extended tummy tuck:

This comprehensive surgery involves a horizontal incision but is extended towards the hips and into the lower back, and it even sometimes sculpts the thighs.

Tummy Tuck Price:

Tummy tuck price starts from 32,000 AED, and lipoabdominoplasty costs around 38,000 AED. This is not the exact cost value because it fluctuates according to the specific methodology, incision size, and volume of fat. The exact cost will be determined after an initial assessment.

Understanding Tummy Fat:

The tummy can store fat in two major ways:

Skin fat:

This is the jiggly fat that is located just under the skin, and you can pinch it with your finger. Typical weight loss efforts and abdominoplasty contribute to subsiding this fat. 

Organ Fat:

Also called visceral fat, this is located deep inside the abdominal cavity and muscles. This is firm and dense fat and requires systematic lifestyle changes. 

Initial Consultation: 

The specialist will evaluate your elasticity, amount of fat, skin, and condition of your muscles. After paying attention to your goals, they will explain various tummy tuck options and create you personalized treatment plan. They will also mark the incision sites to review your body and the entire process.

Pre Care Instructions

• Fast for 6 hours before the treatment
• Cut down on alcohol and smoking
• Maintain an ideal and stable weight
• Take a nutrient-rich diet.
• Do not self-medicate, even if it is a headache.

Step-by-Step Lipoabdominoplasty Procedure:

Anasthesia:

The expert will give you general anesthesia so that you will not feel any pain. 

Incisions:

From hip to hip, just beyond the genital hairline, the first incision is made on the lower abdomen. To detach the belly button from the adjacent skin, a second incision will be made around it.

Skin and fat elevation:

The sheet of skin is carefully lifted from the fatty tissue and abdominal muscles to get a clear structure. Skin is stretched upwards towards the rib cage.

Excess Fat Removal:

To eliminate excess persistent fat, the expert employs the traditional liposuction technique. A cannula is inserted to suction fat from the flanks and other areas.

Excess Skin Removal:

The elevated skin flap is pressed down tightly. The expert trims down surplus skin and fat below the incision line.

Lax Muscle Repair:

If the pelvic muscles are stretched or separated, the expert will bring them together and stitch them in the midline. This ‘application’ creates a stronger abdominal wall.

Belly Button Placement:

The relocation of the abdominal skin results in the wrong location of the belly button. So, a new hole is formed, and the belly button is inserted into this opening.

Incision closing:

The skin boundaries are sewn with multiple layers of stitches. The last step is to wrap the skin with medical bandages. A few topical medications are applied on top for quick recovery.

Tips for a Smoother Tummy Tuck Recovery:

• Do light and gentle walks to move your muscles.
• Make sure the treated area is gently wiped and disinfected.
• Keep it dry and apply the topical medications as advised.
• Change the dressings frequently to prevent any infections.
• Be very careful while taking showers and changing clothes.
• Do not lift any weight or carry a child.
• Record the fluid volume on the drainages.

Step by Step Recovery:

Day 1- Week 1:

You will spend one night in the hospital and will experience soreness or tightness. Small drainage tubes will be under your skin, and your full abdomen will be bandaged. Drains will be removed during the first week, but bed rest is required during this period with a very soft and light diet.

Week 2-4:

Pain will start decreasing, and initial swelling will begin to resolve. You can stand, sit, and walk lightly, but do not do any pressure-putting activity. There will be tightness, but it is common as the nerves heal. Take care of your dressings as per the doctor’s recommendations.

Week 5-8:

Swelling will be resolved, and you can start your gradual routine and office work. Carefully pay attention to your body at this time and don’t do any activity that can interfere with your overall health or wound healing. Your incisions will be closed, so start taking care of your scars.

Months 3-6:

The outcomes will start becoming visible, but their visibility depends on the extent of your muscles. Final results will require at least 6 months, and scars will fade in a year. There will be some changes for a few months, but don’t worry, because they are natural. Try to sustain your results.

Benefits:

• You do not need to spend hours at the gym.
