THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT TUMMY TUCK
# i HAD A CAESAREAN SECTION. CAN I STILL GET A TUMMY TUCK?
Yes, this is still possible. The scar from a cesarean section is often even a reason why patients want a tummy tuck.
In a caesarean section, no skin can be removed at that time and the abdominal muscles cannot be tightened. It is only tightly sutured.
If you have returned to your normal weight afterwards, a tummy tuck can:
- tighten the abdominal muscles again
- remove excess skin
- create narrower waist
- correct the scar from the cesarean section.
# WHAT HAPPENS TO MY BELLY BUTTON?
The navel remains but is cut. We also make a cut very low on the stomach, preferably in the bikini fold. Then the excess skin is removed. The muscles are tightened, so you have a slimmer waist. Then the skin is brought from top to bottom. And where the navel is, we make a new hole and this is inserted. So you have a scar around the navel and one low in the bikini fold.
