Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Abu Dhabi
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens separated abdominal muscles, creating a flatter, firmer stomach. It’s one of the most requested procedures after pregnancy or major weight loss.
A mini tummy tuck treats the area below the belly button only, with a shorter scar and a quicker recovery.
Who Is It For?
- Loose skin on the abdomen after pregnancy or weight loss
- Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does a tummy tuck do?
A tummy tuck removes loose skin and fat from the abdomen and repairs separated muscles, giving a flatter, firmer stomach.
Q2. What's the difference between a tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck?
A full tummy tuck treats the entire abdomen and repositions the belly button. A mini tummy tuck treats only the area below the belly button, with a shorter scar.
Q3. Will a tummy tuck remove stretch marks?
Stretch marks on the skin that is removed — usually below the belly button — are removed with it. Marks higher up may become less visible but won’t disappear.
Q4. How long is tummy tuck recovery?
Most women return to desk work after two to three weeks and to exercise after about six weeks, wearing a compression garment in the meantime.
Q5. Can I have a tummy tuck after a C-section?
Yes. Your surgeon will wait until you have fully recovered and, ideally, finished having children, and can often place the incision near your existing scar.
