A Natural-Looking Tummy Tuck in Newport Beach

If you’ve lost a significant amount of weight or are struggling with loose abdominal skin, you’re not alone. Many men and women experience stretched skin, stubborn fat deposits, or weakened abdominal muscles that no amount of diet or exercise can fix. At Smart Dimensions Weight Loss & Body Sculpting, Dr. Michael Russo and Dr. Kais Rona have developed a specialized tummy tuck procedure known as the SecretTuck, a modern, natural-looking solution for patients who want to reshape and refine their midsection.

Now available at our new Newport Beach location, 4440 Von Karman Ave, Suite 320, Newport Beach, CA 92660, the SecretTuck offers a customized approach that helps patients regain confidence in their bodies after major weight loss, pregnancy, or other life changes.

What Is the SecretTuck?

The SecretTuck is a proprietary tummy tuck technique created by the skilled surgical team at Smart Dimensions. It’s designed to deliver the smooth, toned results of a traditional abdominoplasty, while minimizing scarring and creating a softer, more natural appearance. Unlike a standard tummy tuck, which can sometimes leave a high or visible scar, the SecretTuck is performed using a refined incision placement that allows clothing, swimsuits, and lingerie to conceal the scar easily.

This innovative procedure focuses on three key goals:

1. Tightening the abdominal wall – Repairing separated or weakened muscles to create a flatter, firmer core.
   
2. Removing excess skin – Eliminating sagging or stretched skin caused by weight fluctuations or pregnancy.
   
3. Contouring the waistline – Sculpting the natural curves of the midsection for a balanced and proportional look.
   

For patients who have lost a substantial amount of weight, the SecretTuck can be life-changing. It not only enhances body confidence but also helps with comfort and clothing fit, allowing patients to fully enjoy their transformation journey.

Why the SecretTuck Is Ideal After Weight Loss

Weight loss—whether achieved through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes—often leads to loose or hanging skin around the abdomen. This can be both physically uncomfortable and emotionally discouraging after all the effort it took to lose weight.

The SecretTuck tummy tuck after weight loss is designed specifically for this group of patients. The procedure addresses the unique needs of those with higher skin laxity or a higher BMI. Dr. Russo and Dr. Rona understand that post-weight-loss bodies require extra care and precision to ensure safe, smooth, and natural results.

Some of the key benefits include:

• Customized contouring for higher BMI patients: The SecretTuck is tailored to each patient’s anatomy and body composition, providing results that enhance overall proportion without an overdone appearance.
  
• Improved mobility and comfort: Removing excess skin can relieve irritation, improve posture, and make daily movement easier.
  
• Confidence boost: Many patients report feeling more comfortable wearing fitted clothing and swimwear after their SecretTuck.
  
• Long-lasting results: With proper lifestyle habits, SecretTuck results can be maintained for years.

What to Expect Before, During, and After a SecretTuck

Consultation and Planning:
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation at Smart Dimensions in Newport Beach. During this visit, your surgeon will evaluate your abdominal area, discuss your goals, and determine if you’re a good candidate for the SecretTuck. Patients who have reached a stable weight and are in good general health typically see the best outcomes.

The Procedure:
The SecretTuck is performed under general anesthesia in a state-of-the-art surgical facility. The incision is carefully placed low on the abdomen, allowing the surgeon to tighten muscles, remove excess skin, and reposition tissue for a smooth contour. The entire procedure typically lasts two to three hours, depending on individual needs.

Recovery and Results:
Most patients can expect to resume light activity within one to two weeks. Dr. Russo and Dr. Rona provide detailed post-operative care instructions to help ensure proper healing. Swelling and mild discomfort are common in the early stages, but these symptoms subside as the body adjusts.

Within several weeks, patients begin to notice a flatter abdomen and improved contour. Final results continue to refine over several months as swelling fully resolves.

They design each surgical plan with patient safety as the top priority, combining medical precision with aesthetic artistry.
