Overview of Your Experience
During your initial consultation for a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, at City Dermatology Clinic Dubai, your surgeon will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your overall health and discuss your aesthetic goals and specific concerns. This session provides an excellent opportunity to ask detailed questions about the procedure, including which type of tummy tuck – full abdominoplasty, mini tummy tuck, or a combination of techniques – would best suit your needs. Your surgeon will thoroughly explain the potential risks and complications, what outcomes you can realistically expect, and the details of the anaesthesia used during the procedure. Recovery times, care needed post-surgery, and potential scarring will also be discussed. Additionally, if it could enhance your results, alternative treatments such as liposuction may be suggested.
Before undergoing a tummy tuck, you will receive detailed instructions to prepare for surgery. This will typically include dietary restrictions, cessation of certain medications, and guidance on smoking and alcohol consumption. You may need to undergo various tests, such as blood work or imaging, which help ensure you are fit for the procedure. It is advisable to arrange for a support person to help you after the surgery, as mobility will be limited initially. Additionally, you may be required to purchase items like compression garments to aid in recovery, and some patients find it helpful to prepare a comfortable recovery space at home.
On the day of your tummy tuck, you will arrive at the surgical facility where your procedure will take place. After checking in, a nurse will assist you in changing into a surgical gown and may place an intravenous line. The anaesthetist will discuss the anaesthetic plan with you. Once you are comfortable and prepared, your surgeon will perform the tummy tuck, which usually lasts between two to five hours, depending on the extent of the procedure. Rest assured that throughout the surgery, you will be closely monitored for your safety and comfort. After the operation, you will be taken to a recovery area to begin the healing process.
| Recovery Period | What to Expect |

| Immediately Post-Op (0-1 week) | – Swelling and bruising around the abdomen are common. – Pain and discomfort can be managed with prescribed medication. – Assistance may be needed for daily activities. – Drainage tubes may be in place to remove excess fluid. |

Scarring is a normal outcome of any surgical procedure, including a tummy tuck. At City Dermatology Clinic, our surgeons, Dr. Marcus Davis and Dr. Reza Alamouti, are skilled in employing advanced surgical techniques that aim to minimise and strategically place tummy tuck scars where they can be easily concealed by most clothing and swimwear. Typically, the scar will be located just above the pubic area, extending horizontally. It’s important to follow post-operative care instructions carefully to ensure the best healing and scar maturation, which includes avoiding direct sun exposure and using recommended scar minimisation treatments. Over time, the scars should fade and become less noticeable.
People often choose a tummy tuck to regain a firmer and more contoured abdomen. This procedure is particularly beneficial for those who have gone through significant body changes such as pregnancy or weight loss and want to address excess sagging skin or weakened abdominal muscles that cannot be improved through exercise alone.
A good candidate for a tummy tuck at City Dermatology Clinic is someone who is physically healthy, at a stable weight, and has realistic expectations about the results. Ideal candidates often include those who have experienced significant changes in their body due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, and are troubled by excess skin and fat that does not improve with diet and exercise.
When selecting the best surgeon for a tummy tuck, it’s crucial to consider their qualifications, experience, and the feedback from previous patients. At City Dermatology Clinic, we are proud to have Dr. Marcus Davis and Dr. Reza Alamouti, both of whom are renowned for their expertise and successful outcomes in abdominoplasty. We recommend scheduling a consultation to discuss your goals and concerns, and to review before-and-after photos of procedures they have performed. This will give you a clearer sense of their aesthetic style and the results they achieve, ensuring you feel confident and informed in your decision.
There is no specific age requirement for a tummy tuck, but candidates must be fully grown and have stable weight. It’s important that patients are old enough to fully understand the procedure and have realistic expectations about the outcomes.
Prepare by establishing a support network, abstaining from smoking, and following the detailed pre-operative instructions issued by our clinic to optimise your surgery results.
Expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort initially. You should rest adequately and adhere strictly to the post-operative care instructions provided by our clinic to ensure a smooth recovery.
It is possible to become pregnant after a tummy tuck, but it is generally advised to wait if you are planning to have children. Pregnancy can alter the results of the tummy tuck by stretching the skin and abdominal muscles that were tightened during the procedure.
After a tummy tuck, it’s important to start with gentle activities, such as walking, to promote circulation. Gradually, as recommended by your surgeon, you can introduce more strenuous exercises. Typically, patients can resume more intensive exercise routines, like abdominal workouts, after six to eight weeks, depending on their recovery.
