At Reem Hospital Abu Dhabi, our board-certified surgeons have specialized training and extensive experience in breast surgeries and take pride in achieving a natural aesthetic after augmentation.
Breast Mastopexy
This procedure, commonly known as a breast lift, addresses breast sagging caused by factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight gain and loss, aging, and gravity. It involves removing excess skin from the breasts and raising them back to their original position on the chest wall. It can be combined with implants to enhance both firmness and size, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Breast Reduction (Reduction mammoplasty)
Breast reduction surgery aims to reduce excess tissue and skin. It is often sought by patients experiencing physical pain and discomfort in their back and neck due to the weight of their breasts, or those who are dissatisfied with their body image and large breasts.
Male Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction surgery, is designed to correct enlarged breast tissue in males. The procedure typically involves two techniques: liposuction and excision. Liposuction removes excess fat from the breast area through small incisions, while excision involves the surgical removal of excess glandular tissue and skin.
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a ‘tummy tuck,’ encompasses several types tailored to your specific needs:
Traditional Abdominoplasty: This procedure addresses excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen, making it ideal for those with significant weight loss. It tightens muscles and removes excess tissue to achieve a flatter abdomen.
Mini Abdominoplasty: This focuses on the lower abdomen only and is suitable for patients with less excess skin or muscle laxity. It offers a quicker recovery and a smaller scar.
Extended Abdominoplasty: This extends the incision to address the flanks and lower back, providing more comprehensive contouring.
Benefits of abdominoplasty include improved abdominal tone, making it a popular choice for achieving a more youthful abdominal profile.
Liposuction Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube is inserted through small incisions to suction out excess fat from targeted areas, helping to contour the body and enhance its overall shape. Recovery involves wearing a compression garment to support the newly contoured areas and minimize fluid accumulation. Most patients notice significant improvements in body shape following recovery, with long-lasting results when maintained with a healthy lifestyle.
A mommy makeover is a popular term for a combination of cosmetic procedures designed to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body.
