Tummy tuck is a body contouring surgery that eliminates loose skin and soft tissues from the abdomen. The abdominal core muscles may also be tightened during the procedure to repair a separation that often occurs with pregnancies and weight gain.
Tummy Tuck In Dubai
Tummy Tuck in Dubai is a body sculpting procedure that removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen and tightens loose or separated abdominal muscles. Many people consider this surgery after pregnancy, significant weight loss or age related changes that leave the abdomen loose and difficult to improve with exercise alone. Good candidates for a tummy tuck are in good general health, near their ideal weight and bothered by excess skin or laxity of abdominal muscles. Good candidates tend to be women who are done having children and people who have lost a good amount of weight and kept it off. It’s important to understand that a tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure, but a surgical option to improve the shape and tightness of the abdomen. During your consultation, a surgeon will examine your abdominal anatomy, discuss your cosmetic goals, and decide if a tummy tuck is the right procedure for you. For the right candidate, this process can lead to a flatter, firmer tummy and a massive boost in body confidence.
The following factors determine if a patient is a candidate for tummy tuck surgery:
Body Mass Index
Unfortunately tummy tuck surgery does not help with weight loss. A body mass index (BMI) of 31 or less (preferably closer to 26) is recommended prior to a tummy tuck. This decreases the risk of systemic complications and, possibly, a better aesthetic result. Higher BMI means more visceral fat – fat inside the abdomen. This type of fat is associated with cardiovascular disease and other systemic disorders. If the patient has a lot of visceral fat, the aesthetic result of a tummy tuck will be poor because the patient will have a rounded abdominal contour postoperatively. The best candidate for tummy tuck presents with redundant skin of the lower abdomen and to a lesser degree subcutaneous tissue.

No Further Pregnancies Planned
The aesthetic result would probably be unsatisfactory, although a healthy full-term pregnancy is still possible after tummy tuck surgery. Loose skin and subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen may recur and the rectus plication (stitching of the core abdominal muscles done during a tummy tuck) would be stretched. A good candidate for tummy tuck surgery is someone who does not plan to have any future pregnancies. If the plans are uncertain, surgery should be deferred to decrease the risk of revision surgery.
Smoking Status
Patients are advised to quit smoking at least one month before and after elective cosmetic surgery. This is important for the tummy tuck because there is a higher risk of serious healing complications such as infection and skin flap necrosis. Smoking is an absolute contraindication during surgery as the blood supply of the abdominal skin is compromised until well healed. It is a chance for many patients to quit smoking for good if they can manage to stop for two months.
Compliance With Post-Operative Activity Restrictions
Post operative results depend on surgical technique and healing. To get the best aesthetic result, it is important to follow the recommended activity modifications for 5 weeks after your tummy tuck. Do not exercise or lift heavy objects (over 4 lbs.) until 5 weeks after surgery. These activity modifications are to be followed by patients to reduce the risk of healing complications. Return to exercise prior to 5 weeks post-op may increase the risk of developing excessive bleeding, seroma or dehiscence of the incisions or muscle repair site.
Realistic Expectations
During the consultation, Dr. Perfect Celebrity will sit down with you and talk in detail about your expectations to see if they can be achieved with a tummy tuck surgery. In some cases, it may be recommended to wait for a better surgery candidate. For example, surgery is not advised for patients who are going through major life changes, such as divorce or recent psychiatric concerns. The recent stressors might make you less happy with the results from tummy tuck surgery.
Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Tummy Tuck in Dubai?
An ideal candidate for a Tummy Tuck is someone who is troubled by loose abdominal skin, weakened abdominal muscles or stubborn fat deposits that have not responded to diet and exercise. After pregnancy, massive weight loss, or aging, many people are looking for tummy tucks for a stretched, less toned abdomen. Good candidates are generally in good physical health, have a stable weight and realistic expectations about the procedure and its results. Women who are done having children and who are close to their goal weight tend to do best with this long term. A tummy tuck can help to create a flatter, firmer, and more contoured abdomen, improving overall body proportions and confidence.
What Makes You the Best Candidate for Tummy Tuck in Dubai?
If you are suffering from excess abdominal skin, separated abdominal muscles or localized fat deposits that cannot be improved by lifestyle changes, then you may be the best candidate for a Tummy Tuck in Dubai. Ideal candidates are non-smokers or those who are willing to quit smoking before and after surgery, are in good physical condition, and have realistic expectations about recovery and results. Those who have been at a stable weight for a few months and are dedicated to a healthy lifestyle will reap more long-lasting benefits from the procedure. If the appearance of your abdomen is affecting your confidence, wardrobe choices or comfort, a tummy tuck could be an effective way to help restore a firmer, more youthful midsection.
When Should You Consider Tummy Tuck?
If you have tried regular exercise and healthy eating habits and still your appearance is affected by excess skin, stretched abdominal muscles or persistent abdominal fullness, you should consider a Tummy Tuck. Many patients opt for this procedure after pregnancy, major weight loss or when age related changes have caused the abdominal area to lose its firmness. The best time to have a tummy tuck is when you are at a stable weight and are not likely to have significant weight changes in the future. Women who are considering future pregnancies may wish to delay surgery since pregnancy may influence the outcome. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon can help you determine the best timing for your surgery and if a tummy tuck is the best procedure to meet your goals.
Who Should Avoid Tummy Tuck?
Not everyone is a candidate for a Tummy Tuck. People who are very overweight, or who are trying to lose weight, are usually told to reach a stable weight before they consider having an operation. Women who want to have more children may also want to wait until they are done having children to have the procedure. People with uncontrolled medical problems, active infections or medical problems that may increase the risks of surgery may not be the best candidates until these are appropriately managed. Smoking can affect healing and increase the risk of complications, so patients who refuse to stop smoking may be advised against having surgery. A complete medical workup is necessary to determine if a tummy tuck can be safely performed.
