MEET Dr. Brett Beber, MD, FRCS
Dr. Brett Beber, MD, FRCSC, is a board certified plastic surgeon who has been practicing in Toronto for over 18 years. Dr. Beber brings a wealth of cosmetic surgery experience to his patients, offering popular surgical procedures such as breast enhancement and body contouring.
When people come to Beber Surgery and say they want a belly tuck, we know they mean what doctors call an abdominoplasty or stomach tuck. This is a surgery that helps with problems many people have with their stomach, like loose skin, stubborn fat and weak or split abdominal muscles. We know how frustrating it is to eat right and exercise and still not have the flat, toned abs you want.
A tummy tuck gets rid of extra skin and fat from the stomach area and fixes the muscles underneath at the same time. Pregnancy, weight gain or just getting older can cause these muscles to stretch and pull apart over time. When the muscles split, they create a bulge or protrusion that no amount of sit ups or core exercises can fix. The only way to really fix split muscles is with surgery where we can put them back together and sew them in place.
The first step in the surgery is to make an incision across the lower part of your belly where it can be hidden by your underwear or swimsuit. We detach the skin from the abdominal wall through this incision so we can get to the muscles. Then we sew these muscles back together along the midline to fix any separation or weakness. This makes the base of your stomach stronger and flatter which helps shape your waist. Once the muscle repair is done we pull down the remaining skin, cut off any excess and gently close the incision.
Many types of people come to our Toronto office for a belly tuck. Some are mothers who want to deal with the changes that happened while they were pregnant. Many women suffer from a condition called diastasis recti where the abdominal muscles separate to make room for the growing baby and never fully come back together on their own. That’s why a belly tuck is a common part of a [Tummy Tuck] procedure to help the body get back to normal after having kids. We also help those who have lost a lot of weight and now have loose, sagging skin that hurts them physically and emotionally.
The procedure takes between 2-5 hours depending on what needs to be fixed. Most patients go home the same day but some want to stay overnight for extra help during the first few days of recovery. If your job requires you to do a lot of physical activity or heavy lifting you may need to take more than 2 weeks off. The first few days after surgery are usually the worst with some discomfort, swelling and tightness in your stomach. We give patients pain medicine to help with this and most people say they feel a lot better after the first week.
You will need to be patient and make some changes to your life to get better. Your body will take about 6 weeks to heal so you should avoid heavy lifting and hard activity during that time. For the first week or two you’ll also need to sleep with your upper body slightly elevated. At first you may find it easier to walk with your torso bent slightly. It’s worth it to put up with these temporary limitations for the long term results you’ll get. A tummy tuck smooths and tightens the abdomen by removing excess skin and repairing weakened muscles. This procedure helps achieve a more toned, contoured midsection after weight loss or pregnancy. Patients often experience renewed confidence and comfort in their appearance.
If you keep a healthy weight and lifestyle the results of a tummy tuck may last a long time maybe forever. The extra skin we remove is gone for good and the muscle repair makes the structure better for good.
We recommend you book an appointment with us if you’re thinking of getting a belly tuck in Toronto.
