Body Lift and Thigh Lift in Dubai
Body Lift Surgery in Dubai
A body lift removes loose skin and fat that remain after major weight loss, pregnancy or with age, and tightens the tissue underneath. Depending on the area it is called a thigh lift, a lower body lift, an upper body lift or a 360 body lift. At ELEMENTAL, body lift surgery in Dubai is performed by Dr. Bouraoui Kotti, Specialist Plastic Surgeon (DHA licence 00191301-015).

- Thigh lift (thighplasty) — inner thigh lift with the incision in the groin crease, or a vertical thigh lift when skin excess extends towards the knee.
- Lower body lift — abdomen, outer thighs and buttocks lifted through one incision around the waistline; see also tummy tuck.
- Upper body lift — loose skin of the back, bra line and sides, often with an arm lift.
- 360 body lift — a circumferential lift of the whole trunk, usually after massive weight loss.
Extensive lifts are often staged in two operations. The surgeon tells you at the consultation whether your plan fits a day-surgery setting.
Adults whose weight has been stable for at least 6–12 months and who have loose, hanging skin that does not respond to exercise. A body lift is not a weight-loss method. Surgery is postponed for smokers who cannot stop, during planned further weight loss, and for patients with uncontrolled diabetes or a history of blood clots without medical clearance.
Compression garments are worn for four to six weeks. Walking starts on the first day to lower the risk of blood clots; drains, if used, are removed within the first days. Desk work is usually possible after two to three weeks, sport after six to eight weeks. Scars mature over 12–18 months.
Long scars that may widen or thicken, bleeding, infection, seroma, delayed wound healing or wound separation (more often in smokers and after massive weight loss), numbness, asymmetry, blood clots, anaesthesia-related risks and the need for revision. The surgeon discusses these with you before you sign the consent.
Consultation with a plastic surgeon: AED 1,000, as of November 2026. The price of a body lift or thigh lift depends on the technique, the anaesthesia and the theatre time, and is quoted in writing after the consultation. Individual results vary; a consultation is required.
