Overview
Do you adhere to a healthy diet and consistent exercise routine, yet are frustrated by stubborn pockets of fat that refuse to budge?
Whether it’s persistent belly fat, love handles, chunky thighs, or excess fat on the arms, these localized fat deposits can disrupt your body’s natural contours and diminish your confidence. Liposuction surgery in Dubai might be ideal if you’ve been dreaming of a more sculpted physique that diet and exercise alone can’t achieve.

What is liposuction surgery in Dubai?
Liposuction (also called liposculpture or fat removal surgery) is designed to contour the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas. Using a suction technique helps sculpt a more contoured and defined figure. This procedure is suitable for both men and women and can target multiple areas, including:
- Upper arms
- Back
- Inner and outer thighs
- Hips
- Face, neck, and chin
- Abdomen
- Calves
It’s essential to understand that liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a method for weight loss or an alternative to healthy living. It’s designed to remove localized fat that doesn’t respond to lifestyle changes.
While it can improve body contours, liposuction does not address cellulite, stretch marks, or skin irregularities. Liposuction is also commonly performed alongside other procedures like tummy tucks, gynecomastia surgery, breast reductions, and neck lifts to enhance overall results.
Understanding stubborn fat: Why it persists?
It’s a common misconception that all fat can be eliminated through diet and exercise. While healthy habits are crucial for overall well-being and weight management, certain fat deposits are genetically programmed to resist even the most rigorous efforts.
These localized fat pockets, often found in areas like the abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, and arms, are sometimes called “problem areas”. Liposuction is not a weight-loss solution; rather, it is a body contouring procedure.
It’s designed for individuals already at or near their ideal body weight but who struggle with specific areas of disproportionate fat accumulation. It’s about sculpting and refining your shape, not shedding significant pounds.
Are you a good candidate for liposuction surgery in Dubai?
You may be a suitable candidate for liposuction surgery in Dubai if:
- You are close to your ideal body weight.
- You understand that the procedure targets stubborn fat, not overall weight loss.
- You are in good general health.
- You maintain a healthy lifestyle and are committed to staying active.
- You have been unable to eliminate problem fat areas despite diet and exercise.
Preparing for your liposuction surgery in Dubai
By permanently removing fat from targeted zones, liposuction helps sculpt the body, with results that can last if a healthy routine is followed. However, future weight gain can alter fat distribution in untreated areas.
Dr. Sherif Hantash will guide you through the preparation for surgery. This may include stopping certain medications (e.g., blood thinners), disclosing allergies, and adjusting your daily habits for optimal results and safety.
What to expect during the procedure?
Liposuction is commonly performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation, based on the specific treatment area and fat volume. It usually takes 1–2 hours and is completed as a same-day procedure, although some patients may need to stay overnight. Here’s how it works:
- A small incision is made in the treatment area.
- A thin tube (cannula) is inserted to loosen fat using ultrasound, laser, or water pressure.
- The loosened fat is then removed via suction.
- Once complete, the incision is closed with stitches, and the area is bandaged and wrapped in a compression garment to support healing.
Once the surgery is complete, you’ll rest in a recovery area while we monitor your vital signs. You’ll also receive thorough aftercare guidelines to help ensure a safe and comfortable healing process.
Liposuction surgery in Dubai: Recovery and aftercare
Post-surgery, you may feel some discomfort, bruising, and swelling. These symptoms are typical and will be managed with prescribed medication. Wearing a compression garment for 2 to 6 weeks is essential to minimize swelling and aid in the healing process.
Stitches are typically taken out within 5 to 10 days, and depending on the procedure’s extent, most patients take a few days to two weeks off work. During this period, strenuous activities should be avoided.
While you may start to notice changes once swelling subsides, it can take up to 6 months to see your final results. These results are long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.
Advanced liposuction techniques

Hi-def liposuction: Targets fat around muscles to create a defined, athletic appearance—perfect for enhancing abs, chest, and other muscular contours.

Lipo with J plasma: This procedure combines liposuction with helium plasma energy to tighten skin. It is ideal for patients with mild sagging and is used in various body regions.
