With weight loss or pregnancies, your belly can change quite a bit. Sometimes even to the point that the change has a negative effect on your self-image. Notice that you are unhappy with your belly? A tummy tuck can change that feeling. At Essenza Clinics, we are here to help you achieve that goal, so you can feel like yourself again!
What is a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a procedure that removes excess skin and fat tissue in the abdominal area. After the procedure, your waistline will be slimmer and your skin tighter. You’ll find that this gives your self-confidence a big boost. But that’s not all: this procedure can also reduce the risk of certain health problems, such as skin irritation and back pain. A tummy tuck gives you the freedom to move again without pain or discomfort. And how about the ability to wear clothes without corrective underwear or other tricks to cover up your belly?
Operating together for safer, faster surgery
At Essenza Clinics, we like to do things differently. We, Michiel and Mireille, always operate together for major procedures such as a tummy tuck. With two of us we can work faster and you don’t have to be under anesthesia for as long. This in turn reduces the risk of complications. Our teamwork also ensures that you recover faster. So you will soon be yourself again, but with a beautiful flat belly!
Types of abdominoplasty
There are different types of abdominoplasty. Which one is best for you depends on your specific needs.
- Mini tummy tuck: Ideal if the excess skin is mainly below the navel. In this process, the navel is not repositioned.
- Total abdominoplasty: Suitable if the entire abdominal wall is sagging. This involves reattaching the navel.
- Fleur-de-lis method: For more pronounced cases with a lot of excess skin, where an additional vertical cut is made.
How does it work?
The procedure takes place under general anesthesia. After surgery, you will stay one night in our clinic before being allowed to return home. Recovery takes about six weeks; after that you may resume sports. During the recovery time, it is important to avoid strenuous activities and wear compression garments day and night to reduce fluid production. Think of this time as a chance to let your body recover and pamper yourself.
Why choose Essenza Clinics?
With us, your comfort and safety are paramount. Our experienced surgeons work closely together to ensure you receive the best care. And because of our unique approach, where we operate together, you recover faster and safer. We believe everyone has the right to feel good in their own skin.
