A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, removes excess skin and tightens the underlying abdominal muscles addressing changes that diet and exercise alone often can’t reverse, particularly after pregnancy or significant weight loss. At La Vie Clinic, our board-certified surgeon assesses each patient individually to determine whether a full or partial tummy tuck is the better fit.
We take the consultation seriously, covering exactly what the surgery involves, realistic scarring expectations, and a recovery timeline you can plan around whether that’s childcare, work, or travel.
This is major surgery, and we make sure every patient understands the commitment involved before scheduling a procedure date.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How much does a tummy tuck cost in Dubai?
The cost varies based on the need for a full or partial
procedure, determined after your consultation and physical evaluation.
Q. Is a tummy tuck the same as liposuction?
No, liposuction removes fat, and a tummy tuck removes
loose skin and tightens muscle. The two are sometimes combined depending on your goals.
Q. When can I return to exercise after a tummy tuck?
Most patients avoid strenuous activity for about 6 weeks, with a gradual return guided by your surgeon at follow-up visits.
