Tired of saggy skin and belly fat? Are diet and exercise not enough to achieve the abdomen that you’ve always wanted? A Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) might be your answer. Read below for 6 reasons you should get a tummy tuck from Dr. Newman M.D. in Murrieta this summer!

1. Aging

As we age, the signs of saggy skin and stretch marks become more and more noticeable. Even with frequent exercise, our skin can’t always stay as tight as we want it to. Choose to have a tummy tuck procedure, and you can say goodbye to sagging and hello to a new, tight and flat abdomen. Also, having an abdominoplasty procedure by Dr. Newman in Murrieta will completely obliterate those unattractive and embarrassing stretch marks.

2. Heredity

Having traits such as fat pockets in the lower belly or saggy skin as you age are sometimes hereditary. With this in mind, diet and exercise will most likely not be able to completely get rid of the fat deposits or saggy belly, no matter how rigorous. For those with this heredity issue, you can get rid of the inevitable, beat the genetic component, and achieve the flat and fit stomach that you’ve always wanted. Choose Dr. Newman, plastic surgeon in Murrieta, and get ready for the new you!

3. Pregnancy

If you’ve recently had a child, you may find that trying to tighten the abdomen region with vigorous exercise is not easy. That’s why choosing to have a tummy tuck is your fastest and most convenient option. Dr. Newman plastic surgeon in Murrieta can help you achieve your pre-pregnancy body once again, so you can look your best and gain back your confidence.

4. Prior Surgery

If you have scars or blemishes from a previous surgery, like a stomach stapling or a c-section, our abcominoplasty in Murrieta can get rid of the scars and bring your skin to a revived and restored state with as little blemishes as possible. You can no longer be afraid to show off your skin while showing unsightly scars from prior surgeries.

5. Major Weight Loss – skin removal

After undergoing a significant weight loss, despite the diet and exercise, you will find yourself with unattractive loose skin, dominantly on the abdomen. A tummy tuck procedure can easily remove loose skin and pull the abdomen tight for a smooth and fit appearance by cutting a horizontally-oriented incision in the area between the pubic hairline and belly button. Don’t let all the hard work of losing weight be for nothing. Choose Dr. Newman M.D. in Murrieta to finish the job.

6. Body Targeting

Diet and exercise can tone muscles and tighten the skin, but can’t always target the loose skin on the abdomen. However, our Tummy Tuck Procedure in Murrieta can help. With our abdominoplasty in Murrieta, we can tighten the area that extends from the ribcage to the pelvic bone, giving you an attractive and flat abdomen that you can be proud of.

I continue to be amazed by my patients will and determination to change. It takes guts to want to change. Talking about changing and wanting to make a life change is certainly a good first start but it takes initiative to get up and go to see a plastic surgeon and tell him that one is not happy with one’s current appearance.

After all, it’s not something minor, but rather usually something that the
patients feels is a significant problem, something which really bothers them. It takes a certain bravery to admit there is a problem to oneself and to others (embarrassment) and to entertain the fact that there may be something that can be done to correct the problem.

Then there is the fear of surgery itself. Though plastic surgery and
specifically cosmetic surgery is very safe, we all have a natural fear of
anesthesia. And I think these fears have been reinforced by old wives tales and the media who capitalize by reporting rare severe complications often performed by unqualified physicians who are poorly trained.

When patients verbalize their fear of anesthesia I remind them that their body is made up of the same chemicals and has the same physiology as every other person on this earth, including thousands of those who have already had the surgery they are contemplating. That’s important because we can do studies on those who have had surgery and can derive statistics regarding the benefit and complication rates. And since the patient is the same as these studied patients, the rates of benefit and risk can be applied to the patient contemplating the surgery.  Rates can be discussed with the prospective patient and can be very reassuring because the great bulk of cosmetic surgery procedures have very good benefit and very low risk.  The bottom line is that patients should do their homework and rely more on facts. Facts can help patients feel more confident in their choices for cosmetic surgery and in their choice of a plastic surgeon.

After all  information  has been digested, there are always some questions and doubts. And after doing all the homework and fact-finding there may still be some concern. This is where I think a doctor’s empathy can really shine. The patient should ask themselves if they feel that the doctor will work in the patient’s best interest or in the doctor’s own self interest. How would the patient know the answer to this question? Well, has the doctor spent the time in consultation answering all of the patient’s questions clearly and completely? Have the pluses and minuses of the different alternatives been presented fairly and without bias? Is there a feeling that the patient has been rushed or told what to do without any understanding of what the patient wishes or what is in their best interest both in terms of safety and quality?  Is the doctor going to be readily available and nearby if there are any questions or problems?

The choice of any professional, plastic surgeon or otherwise doesn’t only
involve gaining information about them but is, in the end, a “seat of the
pants”, or gut instinct about that person. I believe that we have the intuitive feeling to know whom to trust and who will ultimately take the best care of us.

We have the choice to better ourselves, and my patients have taken it onto
themselves to move toward this goal with strength and confidence.
