Tummy Tuck in Dubai – Surgical Approaches, Recovery & Results | Seline Clinic

A flat and toned stomach never goes out of style—it is the sign of strength, health, and confidence. But sometimes, diet and exercise can’t fix everything. Factors such as pregnancy, significant weight changes, or aging can lead to loose skin, weakened muscles, and stubborn fat.

That is when a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) comes into play. This surgery removes excess skin, tightens weak abdominal muscles, and reshapes your waistline for a smoother, younger look.

At Seline Clinic Dubai, our board-certified surgeons expertly provide abdominoplasty procedures. Modern methods of abdominoplasty are their specialty, which include options from mini tummy tucks to full and extended abdominoplasty.

This comprehensive guide explains surgical approaches, recovery expectations, cost, and results—designed to help you make an informed decision.

A tummy tuck is not just a cosmetic procedure; it is a solution to restore your comfort and confidence. At Seline Clinic, patients often choose it due to:

• Post-pregnancy changes: They include stretch marks or a “mommy pouch”.
• After weight loss: Removal of excess skin due to major weight loss.
• Aging: Over time, skin loses elasticity, leading to a soft or saggy tummy.
• Muscle weakness or hernia: This surgery helps strengthen weak muscles and repair umbilical hernias.
• Confidence boost: Patients feel happier in their clothes and confident with their overall appearance.

Every body type is different, and not everyone needs the same tummy tuck solution. Therefore, at Seline Clinic Dubai, we offer the following options:

1. Mini Tummy Tuck

• Focuses only on the lower abdomen.
• Most effective for mild skin looseness or small sagging areas.
• Uses a short incision with minimal downtime.
• The belly button usually stays in place.

2. Full Tummy Tuck

• Removes extra skin and fat from the entire abdomen.
• Tightens stretched or separated muscles (diastasis recti).
• Can naturally reposition the belly button.
• This procedure is the most commonly performed abdominoplasty in Dubai.

3. Extended Tummy Tuck

• Specifically targets the abdomen and love handles.
• Ideal for the people who have lost significant weight.
• It can be combined with liposuction for extra contouring.

4. Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck

• Uses both vertical and horizontal incisions.
• Recommended for patients with extreme skin excess after bariatric surgery.
• Only suitable for certain post-weight-loss cases.

5. Lipoabdominoplasty

• A combination of liposuction and tummy tuck procedures.
• Removes stubborn fat and tightens the skin.
• Creates a sculpted waistline and defined shape.

6. Endoscopic Tummy Tuck

• Performed using a camera through tiny incisions.
• Perfect for patients who want to get rid of stretched muscles.
• Healing is faster with almost no visible scars.

At Seline Clinic Jumeirah, surgeons thoughtfully select the techniques. The ideal choice reflects the patient's body, lifestyle and anticipated goals. These approaches include

• Traditional Abdominoplasty: It addresses moderate or even severe skin looseness. Extra skin is carefully removed, and muscles are tightened effectively.
• Lipoabdominoplasty: It includes two potent processes. The surgical procedure deals with fat removal. The muscles are fixed and sculpted.
• Mini Abdominoplasty helps in fixing the lower abdomen by placing small incisions.
• Endoscopic Repair correct muscle separation (diastasis recti). This procedure results in minimal scarring.
