What is Post-Bariatric Body Contouring?
Post-bariatric body contouring is a range of surgical procedures designed to remove excess skin, improve body proportions, and tighten underlying tissues following major weight loss.
Common areas that may require treatment include:
- Abdomen (panniculectomy or tummy tuck)
- Upper arms (brachioplasty)
- Thighs (thigh lift)
- Breasts (lift or augmentation)
- Back and flanks
- Face and neck (for sagging jowls or loose neck skin)
These procedures are often combined and staged based on individual needs, allowing patients to achieve a more toned and contoured appearance across the entire body.

Post Bariatric Surgery Dubai: Overview
Losing a significant amount of weight—either through bariatric surgery or intense lifestyle changes—is an empowering journey. But for many, the victory is shadowed by the challenge of loose, sagging skin that doesn’t reflect the transformation within. This is where post-bariatric body contouring steps in—not just as a cosmetic solution, but as a powerful final step in reclaiming one’s body and confidence.
Dr Sherif Hantash, renowned for his artistic precision and deep compassion, offers advanced body contouring surgery in Dubai designed specifically for individuals who have undergone major weight loss. With his patient-focused approach, he helps patients complete their transformation with results that look as good as they feel.
Why is Body Contouring needed after weight loss?
Weight loss significantly reduces fat volume, but the skin, having been stretched over time, often lacks the elasticity to shrink back. This can result in folds of hanging skin, irritation, difficulty wearing specific clothing, and even hygiene concerns. More importantly, for many individuals, excess skin acts as a constant reminder of their former weight, making it hard to fully embrace their transformation.
Quick Fact Clinical studies show that nearly 75% of bariatric surgery patients report excess skin as a major concern following weight loss, and over 40% eventually seek body contouring surgery to complete their transformation. |

Body Contouring Surgery in Dubai: What does the process involve?
1. Initial Consultation
Your journey commences with a detailed consultation where Dr Hantash assesses your goals, skin condition, and overall health. He discusses which areas can benefit most from surgery and maps out a treatment timeline that aligns with your healing capacity and lifestyle.
2. Customised Surgical Plan
Depending on your needs, Dr. Hantash may recommend a staged approach—for instance, starting with the abdomen and moving to arms or thighs in a second stage. This ensures safer recovery and optimal results.
3. The Procedure
Surgery is typically carried out under general anesthesia in a fully accredited facility. The duration and techniques vary based on the area(s) treated. Excess skin and fat are removed, tissues are tightened, and contours are refined for a smoother, more proportionate appearance.
4. Recovery & Results
While downtime depends on the extent of the procedures, most patients return to normal activities within 2–4 weeks. Dr. Hantash provides detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure safe healing and minimal scarring.
The final results become more visible over time as swelling subsides and the skin adjusts to its new shape, giving you a renewed sense of freedom and confidence.
