Body Surgery in Dubai

What Are the Different Types of Body Surgery?

The main distinction is what needs to change. Liposuction treats localised fat. Lifting procedures remove excess skin. Abdominal surgery may also include abdominal wall repair, while fat transfer adds volume to selected areas.

• Mini tummy tuck: Addresses loose skin mainly below the belly button. Starting from AED 30,000.

• Full tummy tuck: Addresses excess abdominal skin, with abdominal wall repair when needed. Starting from AED 45,000.

• Lipoabdominoplasty: Addresses abdominal skin laxity and selected fat deposits. Starting from AED 55,000.

• 360 liposuction with fat grafting, small package: Addresses torso fat reduction with fat transfer. Starting from AED 40,000.

• Arm lift: Addresses excess upper-arm skin. Starting from AED 30,000.

• Arm lift with liposuction: Addresses excess upper-arm skin and fat. Starting from AED 35,000.

• Upper body lift, male: Addresses upper-torso skin laxity. Starting from AED 45,000.

• Upper body lift with natural breast lift, female: Addresses upper-torso laxity and breast sagging. Starting from AED 60,000.

• Circumferential lower body lift, male: Addresses excess skin around the lower torso. Starting from AED 75,000.

• Lower body lift with buttock augmentation, female: Addresses lower-body skin laxity and buttock contour. Starting from AED 80,000.

• Thigh lift: Addresses excess thigh skin. Starting from AED 25,000.

• Brazilian butt lift: Addresses buttock shape and volume. Starting from AED 25,000.

• Mommy makeover: Combines procedures to address changes after pregnancy. Starting from AED 45,000.

Starting prices apply only to the procedure or package named. Your final quotation follows assessment by a plastic surgeon and depends on the agreed surgical plan. The AED 40,000 option includes 360 liposuction with fat grafting; it is not a standalone liposuction, BBL or mommy makeover price. Additional procedures and package prices are listed below.

Liposuction or a Lift? How the Choice Is Made

Your plastic surgeon distinguishes between localised fat, excess skin and abdominal wall changes before recommending an operation.

Fat with firm skin. Liposuction may be suitable when fat is the main concern and the skin has enough elasticity to adapt to the change in contour.

Loose or hanging skin. A lifting procedure may be needed to remove excess skin. Liposuction alone does not remove a substantial skin fold.

Abdominal wall separation. Your plastic surgeon assesses whether surgical repair is appropriate and whether it should be combined with removal of excess abdominal skin.

Who May Be Suitable for Body Surgery?

Body surgery may be considered for adults with localised fat, hanging skin, abdominal wall changes or loss of shape after pregnancy, weight loss or ageing. Your plastic surgeon assesses the concern alongside your medical history and the extent of the proposed operation.

A stable weight, suitable general health, good nutrition and realistic expectations are important. Smoking status and your ability to follow aftercare instructions also affect planning. Surgery may need to be postponed when health or recovery circumstances make proceeding inappropriate.

Body contouring is not a substitute for weight-loss treatment. In particular, liposuction reshapes selected areas rather than treating obesity.

Your Body Surgery Consultation at Seline Clinic

You do not need to arrive knowing which operation to choose. Your consultation starts with the changes you have noticed and the outcome you would like to discuss.

Your plastic surgeon assesses skin quality, fat distribution and the underlying tissues. The proposed procedure is matched to the concerns identified during your examination, rather than chosen by its name alone.

You can discuss incision placement, expected scars, recovery arrangements and costs before deciding whether to proceed. The surgical team is supported by specialist anaesthesiologists, nurses and patient coordinators.

Contouring Procedures at Seline Clinic

Tummy Tuck: Abdominoplasty

A tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and may include abdominal wall repair when separation or laxity is present.

A mini tummy tuck mainly addresses skin below the belly button. A full tummy tuck treats a larger abdominal area, while an extended procedure may be considered when excess skin continues towards the flanks. The incision length depends on how far the correction needs to extend.

Lipoabdominoplasty

Lipoabdominoplasty combines a tummy tuck with liposuction of selected areas. It may suit patients whose concerns include an abdominal skin overhang together with localised fat around the waist or surrounding areas.

The choice depends on your anatomy and whether both skin removal and fat reduction are needed.

Liposuction, VASER and 360 Liposuction

Liposuction removes localised fat through small incisions using a thin tube called a cannula. It can target areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back, arms and thighs.

VASER is an ultrasound-assisted liposuction technique that helps break up fat before removal. Your plastic surgeon may consider it as part of an individual body-contouring plan, depending on the areas treated and your anatomy.

360 liposuction addresses fat around the torso rather than a single isolated area. Skin elasticity remains important: removing fat does not remove a substantial fold of loose skin, so some patients need a lifting procedure as well.

Upper Body Lift

An upper body lift removes excess skin from the upper torso, including areas of the upper back and sides of the chest. The areas included depend on where the skin has loosened and how far the laxity extends.

Seline Clinic offers upper body lifting for men and an upper body lift with natural breast lift for women. Your plastic surgeon explains the tissue changes to be addressed, the proposed scar pattern and whether other procedures should be considered separately or together.

Lower Body Lift and Belt Lipectomy

A lower body lift can address loose skin across the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks and outer thighs after significant weight loss. It may be considered when skin laxity extends beyond the front of the abdomen.

A circumferential approach, sometimes called a belt lipectomy, removes a band of excess skin and fat around the torso. The incision extends around the body; its position depends on the areas being treated.

Seline Clinic's options include a circumferential lower body lift for men and a lower body lift with buttock augmentation for women. The augmentation technique, recovery arrangements and need for a staged plan are discussed during assessment.

Arm Lift: Brachioplasty

An arm lift removes excess upper-arm skin. Liposuction may be added when fat also contributes to the concern.

The scar generally runs along the inner portion of the upper arm, with its length determined by the amount of skin removed. When the skin remains firm and the concern is mainly fat, liposuction alone may be considered.

Thigh Lift

Thigh lift surgery removes excess skin from the inner or outer thighs. The incision may sit in the groin crease or extend further along the thigh when more extensive skin removal is required.

The location of the loose skin determines the approach. Fat deposits without significant skin laxity may require a different plan, such as liposuction.

Brazilian Butt Lift and Fat Transfer

A Brazilian butt lift uses your own fat to change buttock shape or volume. Fat is removed by liposuction from another area, processed and transferred to the buttocks.

Suitability depends partly on having enough fat available for transfer. Some transferred fat is reabsorbed during healing, so the retained volume varies. This operation has specific risks, explained in Risks and Safety.

Gynecomastia Surgery: Male Chest Reduction

Gynecomastia surgery reduces excess breast tissue in the male chest. Treatment may involve liposuction, removal of glandular tissue, or both. Excess skin may also need to be removed. Your plastic surgeon assesses the tissues involved and explains the appropriate approach.

J-Plasma Skin Tightening: Renuvion

Renuvion uses radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to treat soft tissue beneath the skin and may be considered following liposuction. Your surgeon will explain the proposed device, its intended use and its risks.

It does not surgically remove an excess skin fold. Substantial hanging skin may still require excision rather than an energy-based treatment alone.

Mommy Makeover in Dubai

A mommy makeover is a personalised combination of procedures addressing changes after pregnancy. It is not one fixed operation.

Depending on your concerns, the plan may include a tummy tuck or lipoabdominoplasty, liposuction and breast lift, breast augmentation or breast reduction. Fat transfer may be considered when volume reshaping is also part of the plan.

Can Procedures Be Combined?

Selected procedures may be performed during one operation with a shared recovery period. However, combining procedures is not appropriate for every patient.

Your health, the extent of surgery and the expected operating time influence whether a combined or staged approach is more suitable. Body contouring after substantial weight loss is often planned in stages.

Additional Body-Contouring Procedures

Backfold Lift

A backfold lift removes excess skin folds across the back. It may be considered after significant weight loss when the concern is loose skin rather than fat alone. Incision placement is planned according to the folds being treated, and the procedure may be performed on its own or as part of an upper body lift.

Flankoplasty: Waistline Lift

Flankoplasty removes loose skin at the sides of the waist and hips. It may be considered when excess skin extends beyond the front of the abdomen. Your plastic surgeon assesses whether an isolated waistline lift, an extended abdominal procedure or a more circumferential approach is suitable.

Mons Lift

A mons lift reshapes and lifts excess tissue above the pubic bone. It may be considered when skin laxity or fullness affects this area after pregnancy or weight loss. It can be assessed as a standalone procedure or alongside a tummy tuck, with liposuction considered when fat contributes to the concern.

Calf Augmentation With Implants

Bilateral calf augmentation uses implants to add shape and volume to both calves. It may be considered for naturally slim calves or differences in lower-leg proportions. Your plastic surgeon assesses implant suitability, incision placement and recovery requirements before recommending a plan.

Where Is Surgery Performed?

Consultations and follow-up appointments take place at Seline Clinic in Jumeirah, Dubai. Surgical procedures are performed in accredited surgical facilities, with anaesthesia managed by a specialist anaesthesiologist.

Before confirming surgery, discuss the operating facility, the clinicians responsible for your care and any planned overnight stay. Your anaesthesia plan depends on the procedure and your assessment.

How Does It Feel After Body Surgery?

The First Few Days

Soreness, swelling, bruising and a tight or pulling feeling can occur after body surgery. Your experience depends on the operation and the areas treated. After a tummy tuck, for example, the abdomen may initially feel tight when you try to stand upright.

Follow your prescribed pain-relief and wound-care instructions. Report severe or unexpectedly worsening pain promptly rather than assuming it is routine recovery.

Compression Garments and Drains

Compression garments may be recommended after certain procedures. Your surgeon will explain the fit, wearing schedule and duration.

Some operations involve temporary drains. When drains are used, you will receive instructions on caring for them and attending follow-up appointments for review and removal.

Returning to Work and Daily Activities

Time away from desk-based work may be around one to two weeks after liposuction and two to four weeks after a full tummy tuck. Some patients need longer. Extensive body lifts and combined procedures require an individual recovery plan.

Feeling comfortable around the home is not the same as being fully healed. Discuss driving, work duties and help at home before surgery, especially when your routine involves lifting children or physical work.

Exercise and Heavy Lifting

Follow your surgeon's advice on gentle movement, but avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity until you are cleared to resume them. After a full tummy tuck, lifting and strenuous exercise may be restricted for six to eight weeks. This is not a universal timetable for every procedure.

Results and Scars After Body Surgery

Your contour develops as swelling settles and tissues heal. An early change is not the final result; healing and scar maturation continue after you return to everyday activities.

Procedures involving incisions leave scars. Their position and length depend on the operation and the amount of skin removed. Some can be placed within clothing lines or natural creases, but not every scar can be concealed. Scar appearance varies between patients and changes during healing.

Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve the result. Significant weight changes or a later pregnancy can alter body shape again.

Risks and Safety

Choosing a qualified plastic surgeon with experience in your procedure is an important part of surgical safety and a well-supported treatment experience. Your plastic surgeon assesses your health and anatomy, explains suitable options and plans your care.

All surgery carries risks, including bleeding, infection, fluid collection, delayed healing, scarring, altered sensation and uneven contours. Your consultation also covers blood clots and anaesthesia-related complications relevant to your procedure.

BBL has specific risks, including fat embolism, a serious complication that requires particular precautions during fat transfer. Professional guidance supports placing fat above the buttock muscle and using real-time ultrasound during injection to help confirm the cannula's position. Your plastic surgeon will explain the safety measures planned for your procedure.

Tell your plastic surgeon about smoking, nicotine use, prescribed medicines and supplements. These can affect healing, bleeding or anaesthesia. Do not stop prescribed treatment without advice from the doctor responsible for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a body lift cost in Dubai?

At Seline Clinic, an upper body lift starts from AED 45,000 for men and from AED 60,000 for women with a natural breast lift. A circumferential lower body lift starts from AED 75,000 for men, and a lower body lift with buttock augmentation starts from AED 80,000 for women. Your final quotation follows assessment by a plastic surgeon.

What is the difference between a body lift and 360 liposuction?

A body lift removes excess skin and lifts the affected tissues. 360 liposuction removes localised fat around the torso. The procedures address different concerns and may sometimes be combined when both excess skin and fat are present.

What is the difference between an arm lift and arm liposuction?

Arm liposuction removes localised fat and may suit patients whose skin has good elasticity. An arm lift removes excess skin and leaves a scar. The procedures may be combined when both fat and skin laxity need to be addressed.

Can I have liposuction and a tummy tuck together?

Yes, in selected patients. This combination is called lipoabdominoplasty. Whether it is appropriate depends on the skin, fat distribution, abdominal wall and extent of surgery.

Can men have body-contouring surgery?

Yes. Men may consider liposuction, abdominal surgery, arm lifts, body lifts or gynecomastia surgery. The procedure is chosen according to the concern and the patient's anatomy.

When can I consider body surgery after pregnancy?

Timing depends on recovery from childbirth, breastfeeding status, weight stability, health and plans for more children. There is no single waiting period suitable for every patient. Future pregnancy can change the result, so timing should be discussed with your surgeon.

Can I have body surgery after significant weight loss?

It may be appropriate once your weight has stabilised and your health supports elective surgery. Your assessment considers excess skin, nutritional health and recovery needs. Some patients need staged operations rather than one combined procedure.

How long does body surgery take?

Operating time depends on the procedure and whether operations are combined. A full tummy tuck commonly takes around two to four hours, while more extensive combinations take longer. Your surgeon provides an estimate for the specific operation being planned.

Is liposuction 100% safe?

No surgical procedure is completely risk-free. Your plastic surgeon explains the risks relevant to the planned liposuction, the precautions involved and the aftercare you will need. Choosing an appropriately qualified plastic surgeon and following the agreed care plan are important parts of the process.

Is Dubai safe for plastic surgery?

Safety should be assessed through the plastic surgeon, operating facility and proposed procedure, rather than the location alone. Ask about the surgeon's qualifications and relevant experience, the anaesthesia team, follow-up arrangements and how complications would be managed. Your health and the extent of surgery also form part of the assessment.
