Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck After Pregnancy for a Confident You

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it can bring significant changes to a woman’s body, including loose abdominal skin, stretched muscles, and stubborn fat that may not go away with diet and exercise. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a highly effective solution for restoring a firm, toned abdomen, helping women regain their confidence after childbirth.
Dr. Faisal Salim, a renowned plastic surgeon in Dubai, specializes in post-pregnancy body contouring, offering customized tummy tuck procedures to help mothers achieve a sleeker, more youthful figure.
What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery designed to:
- Remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen
- Tighten weakened abdominal muscles (diastasis recti repair)
- Create a firmer, more contoured midsection
It is an ideal option for mothers struggling with post-pregnancy belly changes that do not improve with exercise alone.
Why Consider a Tummy Tuck After Pregnancy?
Pregnancy can lead to permanent changes in the abdominal area, including:
- Loose, sagging skin
Separated or weakened abdominal muscles - (diastasis recti)

A tummy tuck effectively restores a pre-pregnancy body shape, improving both aesthetic appearance and core strength.
