Tummy Tuck Information

What is Tummy Tuck?

Is a powerful way to boost your confidence and feel great in your body again. When the abdominal wall is stretched for a longer period, it can become flabby and droopy. Common causes of sagging abdominal wall are one or more pregnancy(s), major weight loss and skin aging. If sagging skin bothers you, undergoing a tummy tuck procedure may be the right treatment for you. Depending on the extent of sagging, a mini abdominoplasty, extended abdominoplasty in combination with diastasis correction and liposuction may be applied.

Of course, a healthy lifestyle is important and abdominal exercises help, but there are limits. No matter how many abdominal exercises you do and how healthy you live, there are cases where tummy tuck surgery is the only way to get rid of that flabby tummy and regain your comfort.

 

Your body has brought you to where you are today. How wonderful is it when you give something back to your body as you age, to keep it in beautiful condition for the rest of your life? And that is where Essential Aesthetics can help with a passionate team of experienced surgeons. Essential Aesthetics was born out of a passion for empowering our patients and a deep sense of gratitude for everything our bodies give us.

Tummy Tuck

Mini-tummy tuck

Called also a partial abdominoplasty, is targeting removal of the excess skin and fat only in the lower abdomen, below the belly button. It involves a small incision along the bikini line and scars could easily fade away with the right after care protocol and the non invasive treatments we perform in our skin department.

Tummy tuck

Tummy tuck extended

Is addressing multiple areas of concern while the surgeon will be removing not only the extended excess skin and fat from the abdomen, flanks or even the lower back for a more contoured and body shape but will also proceed with the repositioning of the belly button.

Because you are essential to us, we will not take any risk concerning your health. Therefore, we are not treating patients with a BMI > 30.

Tummy tuck

Correction of the rectus diastase

Such a correction is happening during a tummy tuck surgery and this procedure involves tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles, creating a flatter abdomen so much needed especially after pregnancies.

Tummy Tuck Treatment Details

  • If you suffer from a lot of excess skin and fat, a full tummy tuck may be a powerful way to regain your old self. In this surgery, incisions are made just above the  bikini line and around the navel. First, the plastic surgeon loosens the skin and fat up to the rib arch. Then, the surgeon removes the excess skin and fat and moves the navel to a new position so that it has a natural place on the abdomen after surgery.

    A full tummy tuck requires an average of 3 hours. This surgery is performed under general anesthesia.

    It is a  perfect solution for  patients with a healty lifestyle, near their ideal weight who want to obtain a more contoured abdomen by removing the excess skin and fat, eliminate stretch marks and improve body confidence and comfort.

    Our state of the art technology could support your scar treatments along with skin quality improvement treatments for improving collagen and elastin in your body and enjoy your result for many years to come.

     

  • You may opt for a mini-tummy tuck if you suffer from excess skin below the navel and have an annoying “apron” there. 

    If the entire abdominal wall is sagging, including the skin and muscles above the navel, you qualify for a full tummy tuck. In a mini abdominoplasty, the incision is smaller than in a full tummy tuck. The plastic surgeon loosens skin and fat up to the rib arch, and excess skin and fat are then removed. The navel is not repositioned in this process. Instead, the incision is made just above the pubic mound and falls below the edge of the underwear. Contrary to what the name of this surgery suggests, this is a firm procedure.

    The mini abdominoplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2 hours.

  • Motherhood is wonderful, but it also takes a toll on your body. Perhaps you are a woman who has kept diastasis after giving birth – a situation where the straight abdominal muscles have not recovered after pregnancy, leaving the abdomen slightly bulging no matter what you do to exercise your abdominal muscles. 

    To solve this, there is a special abdominoplasty. In this procedure, the plastic surgeon sutures the straight abdominal muscles back together, making the abdomen flat again. 

    This procedure can be combined with a full tummy tuck. Incisions are made just above the pubic mound and around the navel. 

    The plastic surgeon loosens the skin and fat up to the rib arch. Next, the surgeon removes the excess skin and fat and moves the belly button to a new position so that it is back in a natural place on the abdomen after surgery.

    A total abdominoplasty with diastasis requires an average of 3 hours of surgery and is performed under general anesthesia.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Tummy Tuck

  • A tummy tuck can be the solution for you to have a flatter and tighter stomach again. With a surgical procedure, our plastic surgeon removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen, and where necessary, the navel is also repositioned. Often this procedure is combined with liposuction of the flanks (sides of the waist). The result is a flat abdomen with a scar that may extend from hip to hip at the pubic mound, below the level of the underwear. The most severe form of tummy tuck also requires the surgeon to make a vertical incision, which means a scar will remain above the edge of your underwear.

  • If you have (almost) reached your ideal weight and you have realistic expectations about the effect of plastic surgery on your physical and mental well-being and:

    • Your abdominal muscles and skin are stretched
    • You’ve lost a lot of weight and now have a lot of excess skin
    • You always have a lower abdomen that is visible with loose skin (an “apron”), even though you are otherwise in perfect shape
    • You have been pregnant and lost weight, but you retain a ‘bulging’ belly directly from the rib arch downwards
  • Depending on how extensive the surgery is, you may need to stay in the hospital for 1-2 days. Usually, a drain is placed on both sides of your body to drain excess fluid. 

    These drains are removed at the first follow-up appointment after one or two days at our clinic in The Hague.

    Feedback from our patients tells us that the pain is very well tolerated. Of course, the area is sensitive after surgery and you will probably experience some pulling pain. 

    You will notice that this makes you walk with a bit of a hunch during the first few days. With painkillers, we can alleviate the pain.

    To ensure that there is no extra pressure on the treated areas, which can lead to more pain, it is essential – as far as possible – to avoid coughing and sneezing in the first week after surgery.

    For best results, you must wear a supportive compression suit for 6 weeks, 24 hours a day. After 8 weeks, you will no longer need it. 

    The treated area will be red and swollen after surgery and there are often bruises. Most people can resume normal work after 2 weeks, so consulting your surgeon will be the best choice. 

    It takes 6 weeks before you can resume heavy, demanding work.

  • You will receive a document with our patient information before your surgery. Of course, the surgeon will also give you personal advice based on the extent of the tummy tuck and your general state of health. Below is a brief summary of the patient information. It is essential to take this into account for the best result.

    Before surgery:

    • Stop smoking four weeks before surgery
    • If you are taking medications such as Marcoumar, Sintrom/Sintrommitis or Asprocardio. If so, consult the surgeon about possibly stopping and retaking these medications. This also applies when using Aspirin or painkillers with aspirin, such as Advil, Diclofenac, and others.
    • Do not use thinning blood medications before surgery.
    • Remember to arrange transportation home, even if you stay overnight. Driving yourself after surgery is not allowed.
    • Arrange in advance for someone to help you at home for the first few days.

    The day of surgery:

    • Take a shower or a bath. You should not shower for up to 72 hours after surgery
    • Do not use body lotion or cream
    • Wear comfortable and loose-fitting clothing
    • Don’t forget to bring your compression set and abdominal belt, if you have bought them yourself somewhere. If you buy these at our clinic, we will bring them for you
    • Do not wear jewelry, watches or piercings
    • Make sure you are well rested and on time

    After the procedure:

    • Make sure you are not home alone for the first few days.
    • Rest and sleep on your back, ask our medical team for advice when you can sleep on your side or stomach again.
    • Keep the circulation going well by walking around every hour. This promotes the healing of the wound.
    • You cannot shower until 10 days after the tummy tuck, ask the surgeon or healthcare team for advice.
    • During the first three weeks after the tummy tuck, make sure that you don’t put any pressure on the abdomen, i.e. don’t push or lift anything or bend.
    • Working is possible after about a week and a half, but only with moderate to light physical activity.
    • Resuming sports is generally possible six weeks after surgery, in consultation with the surgeon.
    • Initially, you cannot drive yourself (car, motorcycle, etc.)
  • Like all surgeries, a tummy tuck involves risks and possible complications. These include:

    Bleeding (hematoma)

    Bleeding sometimes occurs after surgery from the tissue in the wound cavity. Should this happen, your body may feel swollen and painful. We may apply special massages to help the wound fluid absorb more quickly. In a few cases, it may be necessary to perform an additional procedure, which must be done in the hospital or clinic.

    Infection 

    It is important to recognize that surgery carries a risk of bacterial infection. Such an infection may be accompanied by fatigue, weakness, fever and muscle pain. Administering antibiotics during your surgery minimizes this risk. It is very rare for a patient to need to be readmitted. If you experience symptoms of infection, please contact our medical team outside of office hours or call the dedicated phone number available 24/7.

    Wound Healing

    How a wound heals varies from person to person and even from one part of the body to another and is a gradual process. Smoking before and after surgery can seriously impede the healing process.

    Location and variability of the scar

    All surgeries leave a permanent scar, and patients should be aware that the rate at which their scars heal and fade varies from person to person.

    Our plastic surgeons place great importance on beautiful scars. They take personal pride in suturing in such a way that scars are virtually invisible every time.

    Sometimes a scar does not heal in the normal way, this is known as hypertrophic scars. Scars may then be red or colored, thick and painful, and may take several years to heal. Although this is an uncommon problem, it cannot be avoided or diagnosed in advance.

  • After 4-6 months, you will have a good idea of the result: a tighter, flatter abdomen. Of course, this is different for everyone, depending on the starting situation, the condition of the skin, and your body’s recovery capacity. The result is permanent, provided you maintain weight and a healthy lifestyle. The scar is still red and swollen initially, but it flattens and fades with time and falls under the edge of your underwear. You should expect to have a faded scar after about a year. We have several options in our clinic for optimal scarring to aid recovery.

Breast Reduction

The treatment is always extremely professional, careful, and as much painless as possible; the doctors and team are extremely friendly, helpful, and conscientious. And all this in a beautiful and well-maintained building, as of recently on Statenlaan in Scheveningen! From the other clients I speak to – I always chat with everyone – I hear the same satisfied feedback! A big ten, I would say!

Brest Augmentation

A very good clinic and professional. The feel and look of the clinic are very special, and the same way they treat the patients. They were there for me whenever I needed them, and I felt like they were just one step away from me. I appreciated this for such a big time.

BodyTite

I felt safe at Essential Aesthetics, which is exactly what I was looking for. I am incredibly satisfied with the results of my BodyTite treatment—better than I expected. The recovery was much easier than I had anticipated, especially compared to a tummy tuck, for which I initially had a consultation scheduled at Essential Aesthetics. With BodyTite, subcutaneous fat is removed through melting while simultaneously tightening the skin. Thanks to this choice, I now have a flat stomach without any visible scars. In short: I recommend this clinic 100%. If you are still in doubt, this is your sign to book a consultation ♥️

Skin Improvements

I have been coming to Essential Aesthetics for years and am very satisfied with both the way the owner and team treat me and the treatments. I myself have had my eyelids lifted, had a muscle relaxants treatment and am currently undergoing treatment for hair loss and laser therapy for collagen stimulation. The team is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly dedicated to providing the best care possible. If you’re looking for high-quality aesthetic treatments in a welcoming and expert environment, I wholeheartedly recommend Essential Aesthetics!

Step-by-step process

Your journey at Essential Aesthetics

  • Our Care Team will welcome you by telephone and ask the necessary questions to schedule the correct appointment. We are curious about the reason for your visit and why you chose our clinic. We can also ask about your current health, treatment period and any previous operations. This allows us to prepare ourselves well for your arrival. We look forward to receiving you at the clinic!

  • Your first visit to us is a pre-consultation. This takes place with our consultant, who will guide you through this special journey as best as possible and is mainly there to listen to your needs and concerns. Our consultant will then share her expertise and knowledge while trying to match your wishes with the available range of services and treatments.

    The different options, preparations and our care packages will be discussed with you. Our consultant will show you the doctor’s extensive portfolio. You will receive a copy of our patient information guide to take home from the operation to read again at home. We understand that one visit is not enough when it comes to a decision about your body and safety, which is why we encourage a second visit.

    The second consultation is with the selected surgeon. We have now also received and processed all data for pre-operative screening. During this consultation, the technical aspects and possible risks of the treatment will be discussed and you will be prepared for the big day!

  • Arriving at this step of your journey, you have met our medical team and received all the information. All preparations have been done and it is finally time for the treatment. We understand that this is a milestone for many, and we do our utmost to make this as comfortable as possible. Our team will personally guide and assist you until the time of the operation.

  • We offer very comprehensive care. Depending on the treatment you have received, we will help you with the necessary compression suits, lymphatic drainage massages and scar reduction treatments.

    Together we also plan several check-up appointments. During recovery, our team will continuously assist you and monitor your recovery. We can always be reached via an (emergency) telephone number, WhatsApp and email.

    We are only satisfied when you have fully recovered. Our entire team will assist you until the end of your journey.
