A firmer abdomen, with respect for your body
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and can repair weakened abdominal muscles. The technique is carefully tailored to your body shape, wishes and recovery needs.
When exercise alone cannot solve the problem
After pregnancy, major weight loss or with ageing, the skin can lose its elasticity. The rectus abdominal muscles may also separate, known as diastasis recti. These changes do not always disappear through diet or exercise.
During a tummy tuck, the plastic surgeon removes excess skin. If needed, the abdominal muscles are tightened and liposuction can further refine the abdomen and flanks. The aim is not a “perfect abdomen”, but a balanced contour that suits your body.
Three options, one personalised recommendation
During your consultation, we assess the amount and location of excess skin, the condition of the abdominal muscles and skin quality.
Mini tummy tuck
For excess skin mainly below the navel. The navel usually does not need to be repositioned.
- Smaller treatment area
- Scar positioned low on the abdomen
- Usually a shorter recovery
Full tummy tuck
For more extensive excess skin above and below the navel. The navel is repositioned and the abdominal muscles are repaired if needed.
- Correction of the entire abdominal wall
- Option to repair diastasis recti
- More substantial contour improvement
With liposuction
Liposuction may be added when localised fat deposits on the abdomen or flanks also affect the contour.
- Target skin and fat precisely
- A more harmonious waist
- Only when medically appropriate
The difference lies beneath the skin
Liposuction removes localised fat deposits, but cannot correct loose skin or separated abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck treats excess skin and can also tighten the muscular wall.
- Mainly localised fat and firm skin?
Then liposuction may be sufficient. - Loose skin or an abdominal apron?
A tummy tuck is often more suitable. - A combination of both?
The surgeon assesses whether a combined procedure is safe and appropriate.
Your treatment journey
Consultation
You discuss your expectations, medical history and possible techniques with the plastic surgeon.
Preparation
You receive personalised instructions about medication, smoking, fasting and practical help at home.
The procedure
Surgery takes place under general anaesthesia in our certified operating centre in Diest.
Follow-up
We monitor wound healing, swelling and scarring, and guide you step by step as you return to your activities.
Give your body time
Rest, moving slightly bent forwards and help at home are important. Swelling, tightness and bruising are normal.
The first check-ups take place. Gentle walking is encouraged; heavy lifting remains discouraged.
Many everyday activities can gradually be resumed, depending on your procedure and healing.
Swelling continues to subside and the scar settles. The final result develops gradually.
These are general guidelines. Your recovery may differ. Always follow your surgeon’s personal instructions and contact the clinic if you experience unexpected symptoms.
How much does a tummy tuck cost?
The final price depends on the selected technique, the extent of the correction and any combination with liposuction. You will receive a personalised quotation after your consultation.
Prices include 21% VAT unless your doctor confirms that a legal exemption applies. Prices and suitability are confirmed during your consultation.
Clear information about scars, recovery and results
Where will the scar be?
The horizontal scar is positioned as low as possible, usually beneath underwear or swimwear. A full tummy tuck also leaves a scar around the navel. Scars are permanent, but generally fade over time.
Can a tummy tuck repair diastasis recti?
When the rectus abdominal muscles have separated, the surgeon can tighten them during a full or adapted tummy tuck. Your examination determines whether this is needed in your case.
Can I become pregnant afterwards?
Pregnancy remains possible, but may alter the result again. The procedure is therefore usually planned when there is no longer a specific wish for pregnancy.
What are the possible risks?
As with any surgery, possible risks include bleeding, infection, fluid accumulation, delayed wound healing, altered sensation, thrombosis and less favourable scarring. Smoking significantly increases certain risks. The surgeon discusses your personal risk profile in detail.
Will the result last?
The removed excess skin does not return, but weight fluctuations, pregnancy and ageing can affect the contour again. A stable weight helps preserve the result.
Discover which tummy tuck suits you
A consultation is the time to ask your questions, have your abdomen assessed and discuss realistic expectations. You can then decide calmly and without pressure.
