Liposuction in Dubai

Preparation is a key part of safe and successful liposuction. At my Dubai clinic, the process begins with a confidential consultation, where patients can discuss their concerns in a private and respectful setting.

Steps include:

• Medical assessment: Reviewing overall health, body mass index (BMI), and past medical history.
• Physical examination: Evaluating skin elasticity and fat distribution to see if liposuction alone will achieve the desired result.
• Goal alignment: Explaining that liposuction is for contouring rather than dramatic weight loss.
• Preoperative tests: Blood tests, anesthesia evaluation, and imaging if necessary.
• Lifestyle advice: Stopping smoking, maintaining hydration, and avoiding medications that increase bleeding risks.
• Patient education: Providing realistic information about recovery, downtime, and results to avoid misconceptions about liposuction being a “quick fix.”

In Dubai, privacy and modesty are particularly important cultural aspects. Consultations are always carried out with respect for these values, creating an environment where patients feel comfortable and well-informed.

Liposuction surgery in Dubai is performed in accredited hospitals or surgical centers under strict safety protocols. Depending on the treatment area, liposuction can be carried out under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia.

Steps of the liposuction procedure:

1. Marking of treatment zones with attention to natural symmetry.
2. Anesthesia administration for patient comfort and safety.
3. Micro-incisions of just a few millimeters in hidden areas.
4. Tumescent fluid infiltration, a solution containing anesthetic and medication to minimize bleeding.
5. Fat removal using fine cannulas connected to a suction device. Techniques may include traditional suction-assisted liposuction, VASER liposuction, or laser liposuction.
6. Shaping and contouring, ensuring smooth transitions between treated and untreated areas.
7. Closure and dressing, followed by application of compression garments.

Depending on the number of areas treated, surgery may last between 1–4 hours.

Recovery after liposuction requires careful attention and compliance with medical instructions.

• Compression garments are worn for 4–6 weeks to control swelling and help skin adapt to the new contours.
• Mild discomfort and bruising are expected but controlled with prescribed medications.
• Light walking is encouraged from the first day to reduce clotting risks.
• Return to work is usually possible within 5–7 days for most patients in Dubai.
• Physical exercise and sports can typically be resumed after 4–6 weeks.
• Postoperative care in Dubai also includes discreet follow-up appointments, respecting the patient’s privacy while ensuring medical supervision.

Patients often ask about liposuction scars. The incisions are very small and strategically placed in hidden areas, fading gradually with proper care.

Results of liposuction become visible gradually as swelling subsides. Most patients notice improvements within 2–3 weeks, with final results appearing after 6–12 months.

Follow-up schedule:

• 1 week: wound check and dressing change.
• 1 month: swelling control and garment adjustment.
• 3–6 months: evaluation of contour stability and possible combination treatments (e.g., skin tightening).
• 1 year: final review and photographs.

Longevity of results: Once fat cells are removed, they do not return. However, maintaining a stable weight through nutrition and exercise is essential. If weight gain occurs, fat can accumulate in untreated areas.

In Dubai, where high aesthetic standards are common, many patients complement liposuction with skin care programs, non-surgical body contouring sessions, or wellness guidance to prolong their results.
