Lower body lift in Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery Clinic
About the clinic
A lower body lift at Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery Clinic in Dubai helps reshape the torso and legs after significant weight loss. This procedure focuses on removing loose skin and stubborn fat to create a smoother body contour. The clinic is known for its high standards, holding the Dubai Health Authority Award and being named Cosmetic Surgery Clinic of the Year.
Expert Surgical Care
Surgeons at the clinic are American Double Board Certified and received their training at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Kamal Sawan is a Consultant Plastic Surgeon certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery. Dr. Buthainah Al-Shunnar, the clinic founder, is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and the first female Emirati plastic surgeon. Together with their team, they have performed 25,000+ procedures and treated 10,000+ patients.
Procedure Details and Techniques
The surgery, also known as a belt lipectomy, lasts between 2 and 7 hours under general anesthesia. It uses a 360-degree approach to address the abdomen, waist, hips, and back. The medical team uses several techniques during the operation:
- Liposuction to remove localized fat and refine body contours.
- Abdominoplasty to tighten the front of the stomach area.
- Thigh lift to firm both the inner and outer thigh skin.
- Fat transfer to add natural volume to the buttocks if needed.
The surgeon makes a circumferential incision around the torso at the hip level. These marks are placed along the bikini line so they stay hidden under clothing. While the scars are long, they usually fade significantly over 1 to 2 years.
Recovery and Aftercare
Patients typically stay in the hospital for 1 to 4 nights for monitoring. The clinic provides a structured recovery plan to help the healing process. You must wear a compression garment for 6 weeks to support the new body shape. Most people return to daily activities after 10 days and start light exercise after 4 weeks. Strenuous workouts should be avoided for 6 to 8 weeks.
The clinic offers a scar management program and lymphatic drainage massages to improve results. Follow-up visits are scheduled throughout the first month to check your progress. Before surgery, patients must have a stable weight and complete blood tests during a pre-anesthetic consultation. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss your personalized treatment plan.

Surgical and Aesthetic Specialties
Plastic surgery services focus on breast, facial, and body contouring procedures. The surgical team performs several complex breast operations:
- Breast augmentation with fat transfer or implants
- Breast lift (mastopexy) with internal bra techniques
- DIEP flap reconstruction for post-cancer patients
- Breast reduction and gynecomastia surgery for men
Fat transfer procedures use gentle liposuction devices. These protect live fat cells before purification and reinjection.
Facial rejuvenation options include the video-endoscopic facelift. Surgeons use small scalp incisions and an endoscope to reposition midface tissues. This method takes two to three hours and aims for a softer look with minimal visible scarring. The clinic also offers otoplasty and rhinoplasty.
Body sculpting programs combine fat removal with skin-tightening techniques. Specialists perform tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) and lower body lifts. For patients with keloid or hypertrophic scars, the clinic provides cryotherapy, steroid injections, and laser surgery to flatten scar tissue.
Aesthetic medicine and dermatology services are led by Dr. Elmira Gesheva. This department manages skin rejuvenation through several non-surgical methods:
- Botox injections for forehead lines and crow's feet
- Dermal fillers including Juvéderm and Restylane
- RF micro-needling for skin firmness
- Chemical peels in light, medium, and deep variants
Dermatology services also include Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections and specialized acne clearing treatments.
Medical Technology and Platforms
The clinic uses specific laser and ultrasound platforms for aesthetic treatments. For hair removal, specialists use the LightSheer Duet Diode Laser by Lumenis.
