Revitalize Your Silhouette with Corset Trunkplasty by Dr. Beck

If you have been searching for a cosmetic solution that will allow you to enjoy enhanced definition and shaping in your waist, corset trunkplasty might be the ideal solution for achieving your goals.

With corset trunkplasty in Charlotte, NC, Dr. Beck can provide that same sculpted physique using cutting-edge surgical techniques.

What Is Corset Trunkplasty?

Corset trunkplasty is a cosmetic procedure designed to create an hourglass-type figure, reshaping the abdomen and waist both vertically and horizontally. By firming the midsection with this dual-directional technique, Dr. Beck is able to create exponentially more sculpted, shapely results than normally yielded through abdominoplasty.

Corset trunkplasty is an especially good option for patients who have undergone massive weight loss and are now dealing with an abundance of loose, drooping skin. Unlike fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty, which also makes use of vertical and horizontal incisions but focuses solely on the belly, corset trunkplasty offers more extensive contouring results.

What Are the Benefits?

When performed by body contouring specialist Dr. Beck in Charlotte, corset trunkplasty provides a range of compelling benefits, including the following:

  • Sculpts and reshapes the midsection 
  • Tightens the abdomen both horizontally and vertically
  • Trims and slims the waistline
  • Creates the universally desired hourglass figure
  • Targets multiple areas of the physique, including the belly, flanks, and lower back
  • Long-lasting, sustainable results
  • Minimal scarring
  • Elevates confidence
  • Expands wardrobe options

What Makes an Ideal Candidate for Corset Trunkplasty in Charlotte, NC?

Corset trunkplasty is most often suggested for patients who have undergone significant weight loss of over a hundred pounds or more, whether through bariatric surgery or on their own, and are struggling with loose, sagging skin. Despite dieting and exercising, these individuals typically cannot achieve their body-sculpting goals without surgical intervention. 

To qualify, you will need to be a healthy non-smoker at a stable weight and have realistic expectations for your results. Dr. Beck will want to ensure that you have maintained your goal weight for at least six months before undergoing corset trunkplasty. Additionally, the doctor recommends that you have finished having children before choosing the procedure. 

To make sure that corset trunkplasty is a good fit for your needs, Dr. Beck will meet with you for a detailed consultation process, which involves a physical assessment and a thorough review of your medical history. He will go over any allergies, current medications, and pre-existing conditions, making certain that you can expect a seamless, rewarding treatment experience.

What Does the Procedure Entail?

Corset trunkplasty is performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours to complete. Once you are sleeping peacefully, Dr. Beck will create several midsection incisions, both horizontal and vertical, allowing him to fully access the deeper structures of the abdomen. The doctor is always careful to place incisions where they will later leave inconspicuous scars. Dr. Beck will then remove excess skin, tissue, and fat from the front, sides, and back of the torso to create an hourglass-shaped silhouette. The underlying muscles may be firmed to support a lasting, transformative result. 

Once all changes have been completed, the remaining skin is pulled taut, and incisions are sealed with fine sutures. Drains may be placed temporarily to prevent fluid buildup during the early stages of recovery.

Recovery After Corset Trunkplasty

After surgery, you will encounter swelling, bruising, and soreness in the treated areas, as is to be expected with any major cosmetic procedure. Dr. Beck will fit you with a compression garment to help reduce swelling and keep your newly sculpted contours in place as you heal. You will be able to take prescription pain medications to help manage discomfort. However, most patients find they can switch to over-the-counter painkillers within the first postoperative week. 

Following Dr. Beck’s instructions carefully is an important part of your healing journey. You will need to steer clear of heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for around 4-6 weeks after surgery. Full recovery can sometimes take several months. Rest assured, Dr. Beck will remain on hand to address any concerns or questions that arise during your recovery period, continuing to support and guide you long after you leave the office.

Like most aesthetic procedures, corset trunkplasty comes with certain inherent risks to be aware of. These include: - Swelling - Bruising - Bleeding - Infection - Asymmetry - Poor anesthesia reactions - Pain - Poor scarring - Changes in skin sensation and color - Fluid buildup - The need for a revision

Is Corset Trunkplasty Painful?

Dr. Beck takes pain management very seriously and will make sure you are comfortable before, during, and after surgery. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, so you will sleep soundly while Dr. Beck creates a more sculpted, shapely midsection. After surgery, prescription painkillers can help offset soreness or tenderness. Most patients transition to over-the-counter pain medications within the first week.

When Will I See Results?

You may experience swelling and bruising for several weeks that initially obscure your results. Within three months, approximately 80% of the swelling will have dissipated, revealing a more sculpted, tapered waist.

Is Scarring Visible?

The scar is typically well-hidden by the bikini or panty line. Initially, it may appear raised and red, but over 12 months it will fade to a thin, white line. If needed, Dr. Beck can recommend scar revision treatments and medical-grade scar creams.

Are Results Permanent?

Yes. Dr. Beck uses permanent sutures to reposition and tighten the muscles. Once healed, the results are long-lasting and stable.

When Can I Work Out Again After Corset Trunkplasty in Charlotte?

Most patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous workouts for 4 to 6 weeks post-surgery. However, Dr. Beck will provide personalized guidance as part of your aftercare plan.

What is the cost of a Corset Trunkplasty?

A Corset Trunkplasty at Beck Aesthetic Surgery typically ranges from $22,000 to $28,000, which includes operating room and anesthesia fees. The final price may vary based on the amount of excess skin removed and the complexity of the procedure.

To receive a customized quote and surgical plan tailored to your anatomy and goals, schedule a private consultation with our team.

Will I Have Drains Placed After Surgery?

Yes, drains are commonly placed after corset trunkplasty to help remove excess fluids and support the healing process. They also help reduce swelling and discomfort. Dr. Beck usually removes them around 7 to 10 days post-op.
