The abdominal skin is completely detached from the underlying muscle layer and the belly button is circumcised, leaving it in place. The surgeon then tightens the skin and the excess skin and subcutaneous fatty tissue are removed. Should the abdominal muscles be sagging and stretched, they are immediately tightened again. We make a small hole in the abdominal skin to allow the navel to come out again. Drains are placed during surgery so that wound fluid can be drained. Scars after a tummy tuck run around the navel and bikini area.      <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-443533d animated-fast elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-heading\" data-id=\"443533d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;css&quot;,&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" ><div class=\"ekit-heading elementskit-section-title-wraper text_left   ekit_heading_tablet-   ekit_heading_mobile-\"><h2 class=\"ekit-heading--title elementskit-section-title \">Recovery after a tummy tuck<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<div class='ekit-heading__description'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>In general, a tummy tuck is somewhat painful, especially when the muscles are sutured you will have a tight feeling. After surgery, the wound is taped with band-aids, and the drains remain in place until there is no longer much wound fluid. Allow for a day or two. If, after the tummy tuck, your abdominal muscles have also been tightened, you will need 1 day of strict bed rest after surgery. In addition, for the first six weeks after surgery, you should not lift or press too heavily. A lipo panty, supportive corset, or abdominal band is necessary to allow the abdominal wall to tighten properly. The total recovery period is about four to six weeks, after which all movements are possible again as usual. The sutures dissolve on their own, and massage with cream or lotion can help make the scars supple. Start doing this after the wound has healed, usually about three weeks after surgery.        <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22855d0 animated-fast elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-heading\" data-id=\"22855d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;css&quot;,&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" ><div class=\"ekit-heading elementskit-section-title-wraper text_left   ekit_heading_tablet-   ekit_heading_mobile-\"><h2 class=\"ekit-heading--title elementskit-section-title \">The Results After a Tummy Tuck: What You'll See and When<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<div class='ekit-heading__description'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Immediately after the procedure, your abdomen will be tighter, but that\u2019s not the final result yet. During the first few weeks, you\u2019ll mainly notice swelling and a tight feeling, and the scar line will be clearly visible and red. That\u2019s to be expected: at that point, your body is still in the midst of healing.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>After six to eight weeks, most of the swelling has subsided and the new contours begin to emerge. For most patients, this is when they notice a noticeable difference in how their clothes fit\u2014often the first time they can really feel the difference. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The final result takes longer to appear. Expect it to take six months to a year for the last of the swelling to subside and for the scar to fade into a fine, light line. That line is placed as low as possible so that it is covered by underwear or a bikini bottom. How quickly this happens and what the scar will ultimately look like varies from person to person and depends, among other things, on your skin type.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The results will last as long as your weight remains stable. Significant weight gain or another pregnancy could alter your body contours again. That\u2019s why, during the consultation, we\u2019ll also discuss your long-term plans\u2014not out of curiosity, but because they help determine whether now is the right time.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7fe759c animated-fast elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-heading\" data-id=\"7fe759c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;css&quot;,&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" ><div class=\"ekit-heading elementskit-section-title-wraper text_left   ekit_heading_tablet-   ekit_heading_mobile-\"><h2 class=\"ekit-heading--title elementskit-section-title \">Abdominoplasty at Duinbergen Clinic<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<div class='ekit-heading__description'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Tummy tucks are performed at Duinbergen Clinic in Knokke under general anesthesia and require an overnight stay.
