Tummy Tuck Background

Tummy Tuck in Dubai

Restore a Flat, Firm Abdomen with Expert Abdominoplasty

Excess Skin After Weight Loss or Pregnancy?

For many people in Dubai, losing weight or giving birth brings pride — but also frustration. Despite all your hard work, you're left with loose, sagging skin and a stretched abdomen that diet and exercise can't fix. This is where a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) offers a life-changing solution.

At Quttainah Specialized Hospital, Dr. Adel Quttainah performs tummy tucks with precision, care, and artistry — helping patients restore a flat, youthful, and confident silhouette.

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while also tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles. Unlike liposuction (which removes fat only), a tummy tuck focuses on skin laxity and muscle repair — especially after significant weight changes or pregnancies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have a scar after tummy tuck?

Yes, but Dr. Quttainah places the incision low — just above the pubic line — so it's easily hidden by underwear or swimwear. The scar fades significantly over time with proper care.

How long will the results last?

Tummy tuck results are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and avoid pregnancy post-surgery. The muscle repair is permanent.

Does the surgery help with stretch marks?

Yes — especially stretch marks on the lower abdomen that are removed along with excess skin. Stretch marks above the navel may be repositioned lower but not removed.

Can I get pregnant after a tummy tuck?

Yes, but it's recommended to delay the procedure until you're done having children for best long-term results.

Is a tummy tuck the same as liposuction?

No. Tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens muscles, while liposuction only removes fat. Many patients combine both for optimal results.
