Body Plastic Surgery in Dubai: Liposuction & Tummy Tuck

Body contouring surgery at ELEMENTAL Day Surgical Center, Jumeirah 1, 113 Jumeirah Street, under DHA licence 5323888. Procedures are performed in a licensed day-surgery theatre with anaesthesia and monitored recovery, and the patient is discharged the same day once recovery criteria are met.

Body surgery reshapes tissue. It is not a treatment for obesity and it does not replace weight loss. The procedures below suit patients whose weight has been stable for several months and who are close to the shape they intend to keep. Where weight is still changing, the surgeon will normally advise waiting — operating on a moving target produces a result that does not last.

Procedures

• Abdominoplasty — tummy tuck. Removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal wall where the muscles have separated, which is common after pregnancy. Leaves a scar along the lower abdomen whose position is planned before surgery.
• Liposuction with J-Plasma technology. Removes localised fat deposits that have not responded to diet and exercise, with simultaneous treatment of the overlying tissue.
• Body contouring. Combined approaches where more than one area is addressed, or where skin laxity and fat volume need to be treated together.
• VASER liposuction. Ultrasound-assisted technique that separates fat before aspiration. Chosen for fibrous and dense areas, revision cases, and work where surface definition is the goal.

What affects the outcome

Smoking is the single biggest controllable risk in body surgery — it restricts blood supply to healing skin and materially raises the rate of wound complications. Uncontrolled diabetes, some medications and previous abdominal scarring also change the plan and are reviewed at the consultation. Compression garments and restricted activity are part of recovery for several weeks, not days.

A consultation with the operating surgeon costs AED 680 (Consultant Plastic Surgeon: from AED 750) and is required before any procedure is planned. Surgical cost depends on the extent of the work and the anaesthesia required, and is quoted in writing after that consultation. Individual results vary. Prices current as of August 2026.

Non-surgical alternatives for localised fat and skin laxity — lipolytic injections and injectional cosmetology — treat a different scale of problem and may be the better starting point.
