Body Contouring in Dubai
Body Contouring
Overview
After significant weight loss due to diet, bariatric surgery, or postpartum changes can leave behind loose or sagging skin. Moreover, your skin may also lack elasticity making your overall body look disproportionate or unpleasant.
Thus, following massive weight loss, surgical ‘Body Contouring in Dubai’ can improve the shape of the underlying support tissues while removing extra, sagging skin and fat, resulting in better proportions and finer curves.
What is Body Contouring?
Body sculpting, also known as body contouring, is a surgical or medical operation intended to alter a specific body part. It could entail procedures to:
- Remove excess skin
- Get rid of extra fat
- Resize or reshape specific body regions

What are the various types of methods for Body Contouring in Dubai?
Liposuction
A cosmetic surgical treatment called liposuction eliminates fat deposits. Liposuction can assist if you’ve tried diet and exercise, but the fat won’t budge. You get a smoother body shape after the surgery.
Following liposuction techniques could be used depending on different cases:
A fat-reduction procedure called laser-assisted liposuction uses laser energy to emulsify fat for quicker, simpler removal and moderate skin tightening effects. The laser light shortens the healing period and causes less damage to the surrounding tissues when opposed to conventional liposuction.
Similar to suction-assisted liposuction, this method expedites fat removal by using an additional instrument.
The surgeon injects a saline solution into the fatty tissues in this liposuction method. A painkiller and epinephrine, which constricts your blood vessels, are both present in the combo. This treatment enables the surgeon to remove fat in a much easier way.
Additionally, it causes lesser bleeding and pain.
During this liposuction method, the surgeon liquefies the fat using ultrasonic energy before removing it.
Body Contouring Surgery
After significant weight loss, body contouring surgery is frequently required to obtain the ideal contour. Lifts are required when there is too much skin or in locations where liposuction would not produce satisfactory results. Some of the methods can be combined. Before prescribing a certain surgical approach, your surgeon will thoroughly investigate your body habits and lifestyle.
Following are the surgical techniques of body contouring:
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) is a cosmetic surgery to change how the abdomen looks and feels. Excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen during a stomach tuck.
Breast rejuvenation is a general term for several surgical procedures that change how your breasts look. One or more plastic surgery operations may be able to help if you don’t like what you see when you gaze in the mirror at your breasts.
Brachioplasty or arm lift is a surgery that reshapes the back of your upper arm, from the arm to the elbow. Extra skin and tissue are removed. Your upper arm seems smoother as a result.
The buttock lift surgery, also known as a gluteal lift, is most effective for people who have lost buttock volume or tone and developed loose, extra skin in the area.
After significant weight loss from diet and exercise, or weight loss surgery, many areas of loose skin are corrected with the circumferential body lift technique.
Patients who have large skin folds, fat bulges, and loose skin in the inner thigh area should consider surgery for an inner thigh lift. Before surgery, having a positive mindset and reasonable expectations is crucial.
In this method, a pannus is surgically removed with a panniculectomy. Pannus is an apron-like area of extra skin and adipose (fatty) tissue that hangs down over the genitalia and thighs.
What is the recovery period like post a body contouring procedure?
After the surgery, you might need to utilize surgical drains to get rid of extra fluid or blood that might collect there. Our doctor will brief you on how to utilize and take care of your drain. He may also advise that you put on a compression garment for 6 to 8 weeks.
Initial discomfort could persist for up to 4 weeks, and it might take many months to recover fully. The size of your scars will also heal eventually, but it will also depend upon the size of incisions you had during your surgery.
