Reasons to get body lift surgery in Dubai
A body lift in Dubai can be life-changing for individuals dealing with excess, sagging skin. Here are some of the most common reasons people choose this transformative procedure:
- After massive weight loss (via bariatric surgery or diet and exercise), to remove loose, hanging skin.
- To improve body contours and definition, especially around the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks.
- To enhance mobility and comfort, as excess skin can cause chafing, irritation, or restrict movement.
- To restore confidence and body image, especially after weight loss or pregnancy.
- To address age-related skin laxity, which can lead to drooping or uneven body contours.
- To reduce hygiene issues caused by skin folds, such as rashes or infections.
Understanding body lift surgery
A body lift is a comprehensive cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat, improve body contours, and tighten the underlying tissues—typically after significant weight loss, aging, or pregnancy.
Unlike procedures that focus on one area, a body lift targets multiple regions, most commonly the abdomen, lower back, flanks, buttocks, and thighs.
The goal is to restore a firmer, smoother, and more balanced body shape by eliminating loose, sagging skin that diet and exercise alone can’t correct.
Ideal candidate for body lift in Dubai
You may be an ideal candidate for a body lift if you have excess, loose, or sagging skin around areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, or lower back—often due to massive weight loss, aging, or pregnancy.
The best candidates typically:
- Have maintained a stable, healthy weight for at least 6–12 months
- Are in good overall health, with no conditions that could impair healing
- Do not smoke, or are committed to quit before and after surgery
- Experience skin irritation, hygiene issues, or discomfort due to excess skin
- Have realistic expectations and are motivated to maintain results through a healthy lifestyle
If you’ve worked hard to lose weight or recover post-pregnancy and feel your loose skin is hiding your progress, a body lift could be the transformative step you’ve been looking for.
Body lift in Dubai – The complete procedure with Dr. Sherif Hantash
Here’s a simplified breakdown of what your body lift journey with Dr. Sherif may look like:
1. Consultation & planning
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation. Dr. Sherif will assess your skin laxity, body proportions, and overall health to create a customized surgical plan.
You’ll discuss your goals, understand what’s achievable, and receive honest, expert guidance.
2. Procedure
A body lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically begins with an incision around the waist or just below it.
Through this incision, Dr Sherif removes excess skin, tightens the underlying muscles and tissues, and then carefully closes the area. The length and placement of the incision or cut are customized based on the amount and location of the loose skin to be addressed, allowing for personalized treatment of both the abdomen and lower back.
In a full lower body lift, excess skin may also be removed from the hips, buttocks, and thighs. This procedure usually involves a circumferential incision around the body, allowing the surgeon to eliminate a substantial amount of skin and effectively lift and reshape the lower torso for a smoother, more contoured appearance.
3. Recovery & aftercare
Recovery from a body lift takes time and patience, but with the right care, most patients return to light activities within a few weeks.
Initial discomfort, swelling, and bruising are expected, but they gradually subside as your body heals. Full recovery can take several months, during which your contours continue to refine.
Recovery tips for a smoother healing process:
- Follow all post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Sherif, including wound care and activity restrictions.
- Take prescribed medications as instructed to manage pain and prevent infection.
- Wear compression garments as directed to reduce swelling and support tissue healing.
- Sleep with your upper body slightly elevated to minimize tension on the incision area.
- Avoid strenuous activities, lifting, and exercise for at least 4–6 weeks, or as advised.
- Stay hydrated and eat a nutrient-rich diet, focusing on lean protein, vitamins, and minerals to aid healing.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol, as this can increase the risk of complications.
By following these tips and giving your body the time it needs, you’ll support proper healing and enjoy the long-term benefits of your body lift transformation.
4. Visible results
After a body lift in Dubai, you’ll notice a firmer, smoother, and more contoured silhouette, especially around the abdomen, flanks, buttocks, and thighs.
While some swelling is normal, initial results are usually noticeable within a few weeks, with final results typically seen by 3 to 6 months. Scars will fade over time, and the outcome is long-lasting—especially when maintained with a healthy lifestyle.
