Post Massive Weight Loss Skin Removal – Circumferential Tuck in Newport Beach, CA with Dr. Paris Sabo
Losing a significant amount of weight is an incredible accomplishment, but for many, the journey doesn’t end there. After massive weight loss, you may be left with excess, sagging skin that can prevent you from fully enjoying your new body. If you’re looking to achieve a tighter, more sculpted appearance, a circumferential tuck, or body lift, may be the solution you need. At Dr. Paris Sabo’s practice in Newport Beach, CA, we offer post-massive weight loss skin removal surgery designed to remove excess skin and contour the body, giving you the firm, toned look you deserve.
What Is a Circumferential Tuck?
A circumferential tuck, also known as a belt lipectomy or body lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the midsection, including the abdomen, lower back, and flanks. This procedure is often performed after massive weight loss to eliminate sagging skin and reshape the body for a smoother, more toned appearance.
For many patients, weight loss results in loose skin that can cause discomfort, restrict movement, and obscure the hard-earned contours beneath. A circumferential tuck addresses these issues by tightening the skin and creating a more defined, proportional silhouette.
At Dr. Paris Sabo’s practice, every circumferential tuck is customized to your specific needs, helping you achieve a more balanced, natural look.

This consultation is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the procedure, recovery, or long-term results.
How Circumferential Tuck Surgery Is Performed
A circumferential tuck is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 4 to 6 hours depending on the complexity of the surgery. Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:
- Incision Placement: The incision for a circumferential tuck usually runs around the lower torso, similar to the placement of a belt. Dr. Sabo carefully places the incision in areas that can be concealed by underwear or swimwear.
- Removal of Excess Skin and Fat: Dr. Sabo removes the excess skin and fat from the abdomen, lower back, and flanks, creating a tighter, more defined contour. Liposuction may also be used to further sculpt the area for smoother results.
- Tightening and Repositioning: After the skin and fat are removed, the remaining tissue is tightened, and the abdominal muscles may be repaired to enhance the overall shape.
- Closing the Incisions: Once the skin is tightened and repositioned, Dr. Sabo carefully closes the incisions using sutures, ensuring minimal scarring and a smooth recovery.
Recovery Process After Circumferential Tuck Surgery
Recovery from a circumferential tuck requires time and patience, but the results are well worth it. Here’s a general timeline of what to expect during your recovery:
- First 1-2 Weeks: You’ll need to rest and avoid any strenuous activities. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common but can be managed with prescribed medication. You will likely wear compression garments to support the healing process and reduce swelling.
- 3-4 Weeks: Most patients can return to light activities and work within 2 to 3 weeks, but you should continue to avoid heavy lifting and vigorous exercise. Swelling will begin to subside, and you’ll notice your new body contours taking shape.
- 6-8 Weeks: By this stage, much of the swelling will have resolved, and you can gradually resume more physical activities. Dr. Sabo will monitor your recovery closely to ensure you’re healing properly.
- 3-6 Months: Full results will be visible, with scars continuing to fade over time. The final appearance of your circumferential tuck will be more defined and toned.
Dr. Sabo and her team will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to help you through the recovery process and ensure optimal healing.
Is a Circumferential Tuck Right for You?
You may be an ideal candidate for a circumferential tuck if:
- You’ve achieved significant weight loss and are left with excess, sagging skin around the midsection.
- You’re in good overall health and have maintained a stable weight for at least 6 months.
- You’re committed to a healthy lifestyle and are looking for a long-term solution to improve your body contours.
- You have realistic expectations about the outcomes of surgery and are prepared for the recovery process.
Dr. Sabo will evaluate your health, goals, and expectations during your consultation to ensure you’re a good candidate for the procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions About Circumferential Tuck Surgery
How long do the results of a circumferential tuck last?
With proper care and stable weight, the results of a circumferential tuck can last a lifetime. However, factors such as weight fluctuations or pregnancy can affect your long-term results.
Will there be noticeable scars after a circumferential tuck?
While there will be scars from the procedure, Dr. Sabo places incisions in discreet areas, such as along the waistline, where they can be hidden by clothing. Over time, scars will fade, and proper post-surgical care can minimize their appearance.
What is the difference between a circumferential tuck and a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) focuses only on the front of the abdomen, while a circumferential tuck addresses the entire midsection, including the lower back, flanks, and abdomen, for more comprehensive body contouring.
