Tummy Tuck

Enhancing Your Midsection With Abdominoplasty For A Flatter And Slimmer Appearance
Appointment

Achieving a flat and well-defined abdomen, along with a sculpted waistline, plays a vital role in attaining an appealing body contour. Factors such as weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and the natural aging process can lead to the development of a sagging abdominal area, excess skin, and weakened abdominal muscles, resulting in an unflattering abdominal bulge. Fortunately, these issues can be effectively addressed through an outpatient abdominoplasty procedure offered at Champs-Élysées Aesthetic Medical Center in Dubai. 

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a tummy tuck, is a surgical intervention performed under general anesthesia. The term “tuck” denotes the removal of excess skin from the lower abdomen, accomplished through an incision discreetly placed below the bikini line. Furthermore, during the abdominoplasty procedure, rectus diastasis, a condition characterized by separated abdominal muscles, can be corrected. This involves bringing the separated abdominal muscles closer together by tightening the abdominal wall muscles, creating a corset-like effect. Additionally, if desired, liposuction can be performed concurrently to further refine the definition of the waistline

Is Abdominoplasty Right For Me?

If you maintain a stable weight but are troubled by loose skin and/or weakened abdominal muscles due to pregnancy, have a persistent abdominal bulge that does not improve with regular exercise and a balanced diet, or possess excess abdominal skin following weight loss, you may be an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck procedure.

How Can I Determine If I Have Rectus Diastasis?

Do you notice a bulge in your abdominal “ab” muscles when attempting a sit-up? This occurrence may be the result of your abdominal muscles separating, often happening during pregnancy or after significant weight loss. In such cases, traditional sit-ups may prove ineffective and could potentially worsen the issue. Rectus diastasis repair is an excellent option for individuals seeking to strengthen their abdominal muscles. This procedure involves rejoining the abdominal muscles and flattening the muscular wall. Rectus diastasis repair can be performed independently with minimal scarring, combined with skin and fat removal in a tummy tuck procedure, or as part of a comprehensive Mommy Makeover.

What Does Recovery From A Tummy Tuck Surgery Involve?

Following an abdominoplasty procedure, it is typical to experience bruising, swelling, and some discomfort, which we will assist you in managing with pain medication. The complete healing process typically spans approximately six to eight weeks. Although recovery periods may vary from one patient to another, as a general guideline, most individuals can anticipate returning to work within a range of two to six weeks.

  • During this recovery period, it is advisable to avoid strenuous activities such as heavy lifting and intense exercise.
  • To prevent fluid buildup and provide support to your abdomen during recovery, you will be fitted with either an abdominal binder or a suitable compression garment.

The final outcomes of your tummy tuck surgery should become visible around six months after the procedure, once all swelling has subsided.

What Alternative Choices Exist If I'm Not Prepared For A Surgical Procedure?

Patients with mild skin laxity who are not ready for a surgical solution can achieve results with FORZA LASER® Lipolysis, a 980/1470 nm Diode laser treatment that promotes tissue contraction and collagen growth to tighten the skin.
