Tummy Tuck Surgery or Abdominoplasty is an effective way to achieve a flatter and more toned tummy, especially after significant weight loss or pregnancy. If you are considering tummy tuck surgery in Dubai, it is essential to know how to prepare yourself for the procedure to ensure the best possible outcome. In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to prepare for tummy tuck surgery.

  • Step 1: Consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon

The first step in preparing for a tummy tuck surgery is to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in Dubai. During the consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your medical history, assess your physical health, and discuss your goals and expectations for the surgery. They will also examine your abdomen area to determine the most appropriate surgical approach.

Be prepared to provide your surgeon with a complete list of your medications, allergies, and medical conditions. Your surgeon may also ask you to undergo some medical tests, such as blood tests and an electrocardiogram (ECG), to ensure that you are fit for surgery.

  • Step 2: Stop Smoking and Avoid Certain Medications

Smoking can slow down the healing process and increase the risk of complications after surgery. It is essential to stop smoking at least two weeks before and after the surgery to ensure proper healing.

You should also avoid taking certain medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and blood-thinning medications, for at least two weeks before the surgery. These medications can increase the risk of bleeding during and after the surgery.

  • Step 3: Maintain a Healthy Diet and Exercise Regimen

Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen can help prepare your body for surgery and promote proper healing afterwards. Be sure to eat a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.

It is also essential to exercise regularly, at least 30 minutes a day, to maintain good cardiovascular health and muscle tone. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise for at least two weeks before and after the surgery to prevent bleeding and swelling.

  • Step 4: Arrange for Post-Operative Care and Transportation

After the surgery, you will need someone to drive you home and assist you with daily activities for a few days. Be sure to arrange for post-operative care and transportation before the surgery to avoid any last-minute stress.

You should also prepare your home for your recovery by ensuring that you have a comfortable and supportive bed, plenty of pillows, and easy access to food, water, and medication.

  • Step 5: Follow Your Surgeon’s Pre-Operative Instructions

Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions on how to prepare for the surgery, including what to eat and drink, when to stop eating and drinking, and what medications to take or avoid.

Be sure to follow these instructions carefully to ensure that you are fully prepared for the surgery. Failure to follow these instructions can lead to complications during the surgery and delay your recovery.

  • Step 6: Plan for Your Recovery Time

An abdominoplasty procedure requires a significant recovery time, and you should plan accordingly. You may need to take time off work, arrange for childcare or pet care, and avoid certain activities, such as heavy lifting or strenuous exercise, for several weeks after the surgery.

Be prepared to rest and take it easy during your recovery period, and be patient with the healing process. Your surgeon will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to ensure that you heal properly and quickly.

  • Step 7: Manage Your Expectations

Finally, it is essential to manage your expectations for the surgery. A tummy tuck surgery can provide significant improvements

Understanding the specifics of the tummy tuck procedure, including its benefits, potential risks, and expected outcomes, is crucial for informed decision-making and optimal results.

I am an Italian woman and I would like to share my amazing experience with Dr. Faisal. When I decided to have my breast augmentation I visited several doctors, and I must say that every time I was more and more confused because I always received different advice and I felt a little lost. However, I decided to continue searching and found Dr. Faisal's profile on google, read some of his reviews and contacted him for a consultation. For the first time I really felt listened to, where I wasn't a "30 min visit" to sell the operation, but it was me as a person. Dr. Faisal asked me many questions to make me feel at ease and understand what my goals were (there was no time, he was just listening to me). I had finally left the studio happy, and sure he was the right surgeon. I want to clarify that I am a super sporty girl (I do running, CrossFit, kickboxing, tennis hiking), and also during the appointment, for me the most important aspect was to obtain a natural effect and be able to continue to do my sports activities as before. So I took a couple of weeks where every time I needed clarification he asked me to stop by the studio to explain me everything in detail! After my thousand dramas I decided the date of the operation :) it was a Friday. The day after I went out for a walk (Dr. please don't read, that I promised you I would be rested). On Monday I was already back to work and on Wednesday I could already drive. As for sport, I followed everything the Dr. advised me and after about 3 weeks I was back to running a bit. After about 5 weeks I was back to doing some weights. Now after 3 months I'm back to doing all my sports. I was already super happy with the result after the operation, now is absolutely incredible. I hope my experience can help other people because in addition to professionalism, he is a doctor who truly listens and cares about the person's happiness and I can't recommend him enough.

I highly recommend Dr Faisal to anyone thinking of undergoing surgery. I had a few consultations with other Drs but instantly i had a really good feeling when discussing everything with Dr Faisal. He really took the time to listen and understand exactly what I wanted to achieve. He reassured all the way through the process and made me feel so at ease. I had done extensive research (15 years) before I decided to do the surgery of Breast Augmentation. Dubai can be a minefield trying to find the right surgeon but he came highly recommended from many people and I now know why. I’m so happy with my results.

I had the best experience with Dr.Faisal for my 360 lypo surgery. Starting from my very first consultation in which he was very welcoming and open to listening to what I was looking to achieve. He really took my case with all care and professionalism, and I couldn’t be happier with what we achieved. Beyond his professional capabilities, his after care and support post operation has been second to none. I highly recommend Dr.Faisal to anyone who is looking to do any cosmetic work- minor or major in Dubai, there is no need to travel abroad looking for better doctors or prices ..etc. Dr.Faisal’s procedure and care have been the utmost best in class.

I decided to undergo lower eyelid surgery with Dr. Faisal Salim after many years of having a complex and I can truly say that it was one of the best choice I've made. Knowing Dr. Faisal for some years I had plenty of faith that he would do a great job. His care to detail, precision, and overall perfectionist that he is are what made me put my trust in him to perform my surgery and it shows as I'm highly happy with the result!

I am 27 yrs old and I had a desire of getting larger and proportionate breasts since my younger age. When I researched surgeons and was looking through many, many galleries of results, I wasn’t impressed by almost any of the doctor's work. After a long search, I came across the website of Dr. Faisal Salim, read his reviews, and looked at his results. I was so happy and just knew i had to do a consultation with him! I spoke with his clinic first on the phone and she gave me so much information even before booking a consultation with a doctor. From the first tele conversation, I was so impressed, and comfortable and felt that they cared about me as a patient. I went to my consultation where he explained every part of the procedure and answered all my questions. As we have a family history of breast cancer, Dr Faisal referred me to do an ultrasound mammogram, along with a health screening and tests to check i was a proper candidate for surgery. When I was cleared I had my surgery in October 2021, and have had many checkups with Dr. Faisal since he is very involved and wanting to make sure i have the best results. He and his team are better than I could have imagined. I have had a lot of friends, and even strangers ask me to know my doctor's name because they are wondering about my result. I recommend him to every female out there wanting the Best Results!!!

I had been thinking about getting a tummy tuck for years but I was so afraid of doing it. I had been searching for various surgeons because I knew it is an extensive surgery. But when I met Dr. Faisal Salim, I just knew he was the one I was searching for. After my first consultation with him, I got a confidence of doing tummy tuck surgery. It has been 6 months since my procedure and the result is amazing. He and his staff were welcoming, friendly, attentive and answered to all my questions in a positive way. I had a wonderful experience at his clinic, and his staffs were more caring. Thank you for your entire support and caring you had given me during my days in your clinic
