WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?
One operation,
the whole circumference.
A circumferential tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, waist and back in a single operation. It is the choice when the excess skin surrounds the entire trunk, not just the front.
It is especially useful after major weight loss or bariatric procedures, when the skin has lost elasticity and no longer retracts. The goal is to restore a continuous silhouette, free of steps and folds.
The design is planned with markings made while standing, so the scar sits in a discreet position and the contour stays harmonious front and back.

Circumferential Tummy Tuck is a body plastic surgery procedure performed by Santelly in Tijuana, Mexico, for patients from Mexico and California. Removal of skin and fat around the full circumference — abdomen, waist and back — to redefine the complete silhouette.
How does it differ from a traditional tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck works on the front abdominal wall. A circumferential tuck goes around the trunk and includes the waist and back, correcting excess skin along the whole circumference.
Is it riskier?
It is a more extensive procedure, so it demands a stricter assessment, laboratory controls and a recovery plan with follow-up. Safety is managed case by case.
When can I return to normal life?
Light activity returns in 2 to 3 weeks. Impact exercise is gradually reintroduced, generally from the sixth week.
