Full Tummy Tuck With Muscle Repair

A full tummy tuck, recommended for patients with moderate to severe abdominal bulging, is performed under general anesthesia and may take up to five hours. In this procedure, Dr. Beck makes an incision from hip to hip along the pubic hairline, strategically placed to be undetectable in a bikini. Through this incision, he tightens and repairs sagging or separated abdominal muscles, and removes excess fat and skin from the mid and lower areas of the abdomen.

Incisions are skillfully closed with sutures for less visible scarring. After surgery, you may have drains to remove excess fluids and be asked to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and help the skin adhere to your new flatter, firmer, tighter belly.

Patient Testimonials

An amazing experience from start to finish

I’m not sure I will ever be able to accurately put into words how amazing my experience has been with Dr. Beck and his entire staff. From start to finish, Dr. Beck and all of the staff I’ve interacted with made this entire process as seamless as possible.

So glad I chose Dr. Beck and his team for my surgery.

His team is the best, and Beck is an honest and gifted man. I went in with intentions of getting a BBL, but during my consultation Dr. Beck showed me I only needed a tummy tuck. This meant alot to me. It showed me he wasn't after my money, but there to actually help me achieve my goal in a better body. Even other drs compliment the work he has done. Go with Dr Beck. It's worth it!

I can't say enough about Dr Beck and his staff!

Very professional from start to finish. They ALL made me feel at ease at all times. Dr Beck listened to my needs and provided spectacular results! I'll be referring all my friends to his office!

Dr. Beck is fantastic. Very professional, caring, and charismatic doctor.

He treated me with much kindness, patience and concern for my goals. I am thrilled with the outcome! He did exactly what I wanted, I could not ask for more. Additionally, the facility and support staff are equally wonderful! Joy was so sweet to me and reassuring me that everything was good. Do not hesitate to trust Dr. Beck and his staff!

Doctor Beck and his team are amazing!

I truly could not have handpicked a better doctor to perform my breast augmentation. I experienced zero pain post-procedure and couldn’t be happier with my results. Dr. Beck guides you throughout the entire process (pre and post-surgery), providing his skillful recommendations, and makes you feel extremely comfortable. I would give 10 stars if I could!

I am so happy with my results!

Dr. Beck is extremely personable and made my experience a positive one. The staff was all-around friendly and welcoming. The best thing about the surgical procedure was the care and concern shown before and after my procedure was completed.

I am forever grateful.

Before my surgery and for over 10 years I felt embarrassed about wearing a swimsuit or any form fitting clothes. I talked to my gynecologist and he referred me to Dr. Joel Beck, Plastic Surgeon. My gynecologist had seen many patients who had either breast surgery or tummy surgery with Dr. Beck. My new look has given me a confidence that I didn't know I had in me. I am a new person and my friends and family have seen a positive change in me (even those that don't know I had plastic surgery).

FAQ

What should I expect during the initial recovery?

When will I be able to exercise again after surgery?

What can I do to ensure that healing goes smoothly?

What kind of post-op care instructions should I expect?

What should I expect during the initial recovery?

There are a few stages to expect during recovery from a tummy tuck. During the initial recovery period, you can expect swelling and bruising and some discomfort. The swelling is managed with drainage tubes that will allow any fluid build-up to exit your body and aid in the healing process. Swelling is managed by wearing a compression garment that supports the abdomen as it heals, helping it to take on its new, sculpted, tauter shape. Most bruising and swelling will disappear within three to four weeks.

When will I be able to exercise again after surgery?

Any exercise or strenuous activity must be avoided for at least the first six weeks. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled with Dr. Beck, who will evaluate your condition and let you know when you can safely resume your exercise program. The priority is your health. It takes time before the incisions can endure any physical stress. Heavy lifting or exercise can put stress on the incisions and may compromise your results, so take the time to relax and take it easy during the first six weeks and gradually increase your level of activity, guided by our plastic surgeon.

What can I do to ensure that healing goes smoothly?

Things that you can do to help with the healing process include:

  • Going on short walks without much elevation and increasing the length of those walks as you heal. This helps to increase your circulation, reduce the risk of blood clots and help drain fluid.
  • Drinking plenty of water, as this can help to keep your body healthy as you heal.
  • Getting lots of rest so that the stress on your body is reduced, allowing more of your energy to be spent on healing.
  • Avoiding any physical strain on the incisions, including lifting children and pets!

What kind of post-op care instructions should I expect?

You will be sent home with full written aftercare instructions which must be followed to reduce the risk of complications. Discomfort and any pain can be managed with pain medication prescribed by Dr. Beck. You will have aftercare instructions to care for any drainage tubes, which are removed within seven to fourteen days, based upon the healing process in your case. Take all prescribed medications as directed, including the full course of antibiotics. At Beck Aesthetic Surgery in Charlotte, our team is always available to answer any questions or concerns that arise during your recovery.
