Tummy Tuck in Temecula
Abdominoplasty procedures to tighten the abdominal muscles and remove unwanted skin and fat.
Abdominoplasty Procedures
Modern society puts unrealistic pressure on women to have perfectly flat stomachs. Childbirth, weight loss, and aging cause a natural, progressive loosening of the abdomen tissues. The stomach gets an unwanted accumulation of skin and fat. Abdominoplasty procedures tighten the abdominal muscles and can remove unwanted skin and fat, resulting in a slimmed down torso.
At Newman Plastic Surgery, we have a wide variety of different treatments that are available for our patients. First, we listen to our patients describe what bothers them about their abdomen. Next, we perform a thorough physical examination. Finally, a customized plan is designed for each patient. Dr. Newman’s goal is to achieve the most optimal result with the lowest risk.
What To Expect
- Anesthesia: General
- Length of surgery: 2.5-5 hours
- Outpatient/Inpatient: Outpatient
- Recovery: 1-2 weeks off work, lifting restrictions up to 6 weeks
Tummy Tuck FAQs with Dr. Newman
Personalize Your Tummy Tuck Procedure
Full Tummy Tuck
- Target Area: Entire abdominal region, from the upper and lower abdomen.
- Ideal Candidates: Individuals with significant skin laxity, abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti), or excess fat in the midsection.
- Procedure: Involves a horizontal incision along the bikini line and around the navel to reposition it.
- Recovery: Moderate recovery time, requiring several weeks to heal.
Extended Tummy Tuck
- Target Area: Abdomen, flanks, and portions of the back.
- Ideal Candidates: Those with significant skin laxity extending beyond the stomach, often due to massive weight loss or post-pregnancy changes.
- Procedure: Involves a longer incision to remove excess skin and contour the sides and lower back for a balanced appearance.
- Recovery: Longer recovery due to the extensive area addressed.
Reverse Tummy Tuck
- Target Area: Upper abdomen.
- Ideal Candidates: Individuals with sagging skin above the navel.
- Procedure: Incisions are made along the lower breast crease to tighten and lift the upper abdominal skin.
- Recovery: Recovery is typically less extensive than a full tummy tuck.
Panniculectomy
- Target Area: Removal of the pannus (hanging skin and fat) below the belly button.
- Ideal Candidates: Individuals with a significant overhanging pannus, often for functional or medical reasons.
- Procedure: Focuses solely on removing the pannus without muscle repair or contouring.
- Recovery: Moderate recovery, depending on the extent of tissue removed.
Mini Tummy Tuck
- Target Area: Focuses on the lower abdomen below the belly button.
- Ideal Candidates: Patients with minimal skin laxity and mild abdominal muscle separation.
- Procedure: A smaller incision is made above the pubic area, and excess skin is removed.
- Recovery: Shorter recovery time compared to other types of tummy tucks.
Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck
- Target Area: Vertical and horizontal excess skin across the abdomen.
- Ideal Candidates: Patients with a significant amount of excess skin, often after bariatric surgery.
- Procedure: Includes both a horizontal incision and a vertical midline incision to remove skin in multiple directions.
- Recovery: Similar to an extended tummy tuck but may require additional healing time due to the dual incision.
Circumferential Tummy Tuck (Body Lift)
- Target Area: Abdomen, flanks, back, and sometimes the buttocks.
- Ideal Candidates: People with 360-degree skin laxity, commonly after significant weight loss.
- Procedure: Involves an incision around the entire midsection to address excess skin and fat comprehensively.
- Recovery: The most extensive recovery, often requiring a longer healing period and more downtime.

Tummy Tuck Reviews

“I had a tummy tuck by Dr. Newman he was my surgeon in Murrieta. He did an outstanding job. I was really scared he made me feel comfortable and I was able to trust him. I was referred by some acquaintances that had everything done by Dr. Newman and they looked beautiful 🤩. I had seen his job it was done very well. I am very impressed of my tummy tuck after a year and a half . Its hardly noticeable it’s a little swollen but it looks fantastic. I had a little spot of my incision opened up. I called Dr. Newman and he took care of it instantly , the same day I was able to come in to get it checked. That week I seen him three times and took care of my incision he gave me instructions on how to clean my wound so it wouldn’t get infected. It took about 4 to 5 days for the Incision to close. It never got infected. I’m very thankful that Dr. Newman is a very caring and responsible doctor including his staff because they were there to help me too. I’m very grateful I had my tummy tuck with Dr. Newman in Murrieta . It was a great experience I’m always recommending my friends and acquaintances to go there. Its so worth it🤩🙏🏼”

“I had several consultations for a “mommy makeover” (breast lift, augmentation, tummy tuck). From the moment I met Dr. Newman, I knew he was the doctor I would eventually choose for my procedures. My initial consultation lasted nearly 1 1/2 hours. He took the time to explain my options, give his professional opinion and really listened to my concerns. Because of some past health issues, Dr. Newman felt it was too risky to do the tummy tuck and the lift and augmentation together so I opted to just do the lift and augmentation first and wait on the tummy tuck. I appreciate the fact that he really puts the health of his patients first. My recovery was smooth and I am over-the-moon happy with my results (6-months post-op). His staff is top-notch and I would highly recommend Dr. Newman’s office. He is truly an artist and it shows in the work that he does.”

“Dr David Newman is an extremely consummate professional. In 1991 he fixed a botched job done by an orthopedic surgeon when I shattered my hand. At the time I could not close my hand into a fist due to extreme scar tissue. Dr. Newman went in and fixed my hand and you cannot tell that my hand was injured. I also have had breast augmentation with no problems or issues since done. I decided to get a tummy tuck and some work done to my face 6 weeks ago. Everything is looking great and I am truly grateful for his expertise and experience. I highly recommend him to anyone needing any cosmetic surgery.”

“Dr. Newman has given me a tummy tuck. That was in 2007. I am now recovering from a brow lift, facelift and neck lift that he did as well. I have received wonderful care. He has been able to answer all of my questions when needed. He takes careful attention to detail and precaution before surgery.”
