Body Procedures We Offer

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a transformative surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening weakened or separated muscles. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging that has resulted in loose belly tissue and muscle laxity. The surgery can dramatically improve the appearance of the midsection and reduce certain types of back pain.

Arm Lift

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms. This procedure helps eliminate the “bat wing” appearance that often occurs with aging or significant weight loss. It makes the arms look firmer and more toned.

Body Lift

A body lift is a comprehensive procedure that removes excess skin from multiple areas. This cosmetic surgery is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced massive weight loss and are left with loose skin. It can transform the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and back for a more contoured appearance.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits from specific body areas. This popular treatment can be performed on the abdomen, thighs, arms, chin, and many other places. Modern liposuction techniques allow for precise fat removal with minimal scarring and shorter recovery times.

Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures that restores a woman’s body after pregnancy and childbirth. Typically, it includes a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast augmentation or lift. This comprehensive approach allows Dr. Sabry to treat multiple areas in one surgical session.

Post-Weight-Loss Surgery

Post-weight-loss surgery addresses excess skin that remains after significantly reducing body mass. This operation can include various body contouring procedures to remove loose tissues. After recovery, patients typically experience improved mobility, better-fitting clothes, and increased confidence.

Thigh Lift

This body contouring surgery reshapes the thighs by removing excess skin and fat for smoother, better-proportioned legs. The procedure can address inner and/or outer thigh areas, improving their form. Results include tighter skin, reduced chafing, and enhanced comfort in clothing.

Fat Transfer

Fat transfer involves removing fatty tissue from one body area and injecting it into another that needs more volume. This natural approach uses the patient’s organic material, reducing the risk of rejection or allergic reactions. The procedure can enhance various areas, including the buttocks, breasts, or face.

Scar Revision

Scar revision improves the appearance of scarring from previous injuries or operations. The procedure may involve various techniques, from simple topical treatments to complex reconstructive surgery. It can significantly improve the appearance and functionality in the targeted areas.

Consultation & Preparation for Body Surgery

The first step in aesthetic surgery is a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Sabry to establish clear expectations and determine the best approach for achieving desired results. During this meeting, the patient’s medical history, current health status, and goals are carefully reviewed to ensure the procedure is safe and suitable.

Pre-operative instructions typically include:

Laboratory tests or imaging may be requested to assess overall health and readiness for surgery. Additionally, patients are often advised to cease smoking and manage their weight to optimize recovery and outcomes.

Recovery After Body Plastic Surgery

First 24 Hours

During the initial 24 hours, patients experience significant discomfort and swelling. Prescribed medication helps manage the pain. Patients must rest in an elevated position and have a caregiver present. Movements should be limited to essential tasks, such as using the bathroom. Ice packs can be applied to reduce symptoms.

Days 2-3

Swelling typically peaks during this period, and bruising becomes more visible. Patients continue taking prescribed medications and must wear compression garments continuously. Short walks around the house are encouraged to promote circulation and prevent blood clots. Drainage tubes, if present, are typically removed during this time. Patients should maintain a light diet and stay well-hydrated.

Week 1

Most individuals begin to feel more comfortable but still experience moderate stiffness. Work and daily activities remain restricted. Compression garments must be worn as directed. Patients can take slightly longer walks but should avoid any strenuous activities. Showering is usually permitted after 48-72 hours.

Weeks 2-3

Bruising starts to fade significantly, though swelling persists. Most patients can return to light desk work. However, physical movements remain limited, and compression garments are still necessary. Patients generally feel more energetic but must avoid lifting heavy objects or engaging in vigorous activities.

Weeks 4-6

The swelling continues to decrease gradually. Depending on Dr. Sabry’s instructions, compression garments may still be required. Sensitivity and numbness in treated areas begin to improve. Patients attend follow-up appointments to monitor their healing progress.

Months 2-3

Exercise and strenuous activities can gradually resume with Dr. Sabry’s approval. Most swelling resolves, though some residual symptoms may persist. Scars begin to mature and fade. Patients generally return to all normal activities.

6 Months and Beyond

As the residual swelling resolves, full results become visible. Over the next year, scars continue to mature and fade. Patients can engage in all activities without restrictions. The body shape stabilizes, though maintaining a healthy weight and diet is essential for optimal long-term results.

Scar Care

Scar care is a crucial aspect of the recovery process after body surgery. Patients can significantly improve the appearance of their scarring and ensure it fades over time. Following Dr. Sabry’s instructions on cleaning, moisturizing, and protecting the incision sites is essential to prevent infection and promote optimal healing. Patients are often advised to avoid direct sun exposure to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation and to use silicone-based treatments or specialized creams to aid in scar maturation. Consistency in aftercare contributes to the overall success of the procedure and enhances the final results.

Candidates for Body Surgery

Candidates for body surgery come from diverse backgrounds and seek treatment for various reasons. However, they all share the goal of addressing specific concerns about their physical appearance or comfort. Here are the typical candidates:

Individuals with excess skin after significant weight loss
Those with stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise
Patients looking to enhance body proportions or symmetry
Women after pregnancy or childbirth
People with good general health and realistic expectations

Benefits of Body Surgery

Improved Body Contours: Body surgery can create smoother, more defined contours by removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissues, or addressing localized fat deposits. It may enhance the overall harmony and appearance.

Restoration After Significant Weight Loss: For individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, body surgery helps remove sagging skin. Patients achieve a more toned and refined silhouette that complements their achievements.

Enhanced Self-Confidence: Body surgery can significantly improve an individual’s self-esteem by addressing physical dissatisfaction. Achieving desired aesthetic results often leads to a more positive self-image and increased comfort in personal and social situations.

Correction of Physical Discomfort: Excess skin and fat can cause physical discomfort, such as chafing or restricted movement. Body surgery resolves these issues, improving mobility and reducing irritation in affected areas.
