If you have worked hard to lose weight, gone through pregnancy, or simply noticed changes in your abdomen over time, you may find that diet and exercise alone are not enough to achieve the flat, firm stomach you want. Loose skin, stretched muscles, and stubborn fat can remain no matter how healthy your lifestyle is.
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat and tighten weakened abdominal muscles. At La Nouvelle Medical Spa in Oxnard, Dr. Hanna offers tummy tuck procedures tailored to each patient’s anatomy, goals, and lifestyle, helping restore a smoother, more contoured midsection.
This procedure is one of the most popular body contouring treatments for both women and men in Ventura County who want to feel more confident in their clothes and more comfortable in their own skin.
A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the abdomen by:
✔ Removing excess, loose, or sagging skin
✔ Reducing pockets of stubborn fat
✔ Tightening separated or weakened abdominal muscles
✔ Creating a smoother, firmer abdominal contour
Unlike liposuction alone, which only removes fat, a tummy tuck also addresses skin laxity and muscle separation, making it an ideal option after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging-related changes.
You may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck if you:
✔ Have loose or hanging abdominal skin after pregnancy or weight loss
✔ Struggle with a protruding abdomen caused by weakened muscles
✔ Are close to your ideal weight but unhappy with your midsection shape
✔ Are in generally good health and do not smoke
✔ Have realistic expectations about the procedure and recovery
During your consultation at La Nouvelle Medical Spa, Dr. Hanna will evaluate your anatomy, listen to your goals, and recommend the most appropriate approach for you.
"After having two children, I did not know what to do with the excess fat on my belly. After six years of thinking about it, I finally had a tummy tuck at La Nouvelle. The care before and after surgery was incredible, and I am beyond satisfied with my results. I feel so much more confident and am so happy I made the right choice." ~ Debbie

Your Safety. Our Priority.
La Nouvelle Medical Spa is fully accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). This accreditation confirms that our surgical facility meets strict national standards for patient safety, infection control, emergency preparedness, and quality of care. Many offices offering cosmetic surgery do not undergo this level of independent review. We do, because your safety matters.
When you choose La Nouvelle for your tummy tuck, you are choosing a facility held to higher standards.
Your consultation is an important step in your journey. During this visit, Dr. Hanna will:
✔ Discuss your goals and concerns
✔ Evaluate your abdominal skin, fat distribution, and muscle tone
✔ Review your medical history
✔ Explain the recommended procedure in detail
✔ Discuss anesthesia, recovery, and expected outcomes
✔ Answer all of your questions
You will leave with a clear understanding of your options and a customized treatment plan.
On the day of your surgery, you will be welcomed into our comfortable, private surgical environment. The procedure typically involves:
1. Making a low, discreet incision along the lower abdomen
2. Removing excess skin and fat
3. Tightening the abdominal muscles if needed
4. Repositioning the remaining skin for a smooth contour
5. Closing the incision with care to minimize scarring
Dr. Hanna takes great care to place incisions where they can be hidden under most clothing and swimwear.
"After my tummy tuck at La Nouvelle Spa, my entire life has changed. I feel better about the way I look and finally have the confidence to wear bikinis and be proud of my body again. Thank you, Dr. Hanna, for making this possible." ~ Beatrice
At La Nouvelle Medical Spa, Dr. Hanna’s approach to tummy tuck surgery is carefully tailored and, in most cases, includes combining the tummy tuck procedure with one or more liposuction techniques. This integrated method allows him to address both excess skin and stubborn fat at the same time, creating smoother, more balanced abdominal contours.
Many patients seeking a tummy tuck also have areas of fat that do not respond to diet or exercise. While a tummy tuck removes loose skin and tightens the abdominal muscles, liposuction is used to reduce bulging and fullness in targeted areas. When performed together, these procedures work in harmony to reshape the midsection more comprehensively.
Traditionally, tummy tuck surgery and liposuction were performed as separate procedures for safety reasons. While this approach is still appropriate in certain cases, it can require two surgeries, two anesthesia experiences, and two separate recovery periods. This is inconvenient for many patients and may lead to less optimal contouring.
When liposuction is performed first and a tummy tuck is done later, the surgeon may encounter internal scarring that can make skin repositioning more difficult. On the other hand, if a tummy tuck is performed first and liposuction is done later, fat removal can cause the skin to loosen again, sometimes requiring additional correction.
By thoughtfully combining tummy tuck surgery with liposuction when appropriate, Dr. Hanna is able to:
✔ Address both skin laxity and fat in a single procedure
✔ Create smoother, more natural-looking transitions
✔ Reduce the need for multiple surgeries and recovery periods
✔ Improve overall contour and balance of the abdomen and waistline
Dr. Hanna does not use a one-size-fits-all technique. Each tummy tuck procedure is carefully planned based on your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle. His background in cosmetic surgery and his experience with multiple liposuction techniques allow him to design a surgical plan that is both precise and personalized.
This combined approach is one of the reasons many patients choose La Nouvelle Medical Spa for body contouring procedures. It reflects Dr. Hanna’s commitment to thoughtful planning, attention to detail, and achieving results that look natural and proportionate.

"After having two children, I did not know what to do with the excess fat on my belly. After six years of thinking about it, I finally made the decision to go ahead with a tummy tuck. Everybody at La Nouvelle Spa helped me so much and took such good care of me both before and after the operation. Now I have a new look and feel much more self-confident. I cannot express how satisfied I am with the results. I would like to thank Dr. Hanna and his staff for changing my life. I am so happy that I made the right choice.

"I researched before making this decision and it took me two years to work up the nerve, but I am so happy that I did and had my surgery here. They are the most caring and personable staff I have ever met. Dr. Hanna truly cares about what you want and about your health. The team also assisted me with financing options. I had liposuction and a tummy tuck and now I am getting Kybella injections for the sag under my chin. Perfect.

"I had my mini tummy tuck at La Nouvelle and I could not be more content. My experience at La Nouvelle has been extremely professional, compassionate, and outstanding from consultation through follow-ups. The procedure was not easy, but it was absolutely worth the results that can be achieved. I am so overjoyed because the results were beyond my expectations. Thank you.
Robert H., Thousand Oaks, CA
"I had so much saggy skin hanging on my stomach. I honestly thought I looked worse than when I had all the fat. I wanted to look better, wear single-digit sizes, and enjoy more activities with my family. I struggled to lose weight and felt like I was losing the battle, not because I was not dropping pounds, but because the flab and sagging skin would not go away. I finally worked up the courage to look into a tummy tuck. After speaking to a few doctors, I knew I had found the right one when I came across La Nouvelle Spa. Dr. Hanna was full of integrity and professionalism. I was so pleased with my tummy tuck. I feel like I have been given a whole new life and finally won my battle. I have no regrets, only that I should have done it sooner. Thank you so much.

"After giving birth to my child, I gained over 80 pounds and developed many stretch marks. I decided to look into plastic surgery because I realized the bulge was not just fat, it was sagging skin. I consulted with Dr. Hanna and was very impressed with his realistic approach to my tummy tuck. Dr. Hanna delivered the results I expected. Thank you for such an impressive tummy tuck procedure. I can now enjoy each day with great confidence.

"I had a tummy tuck procedure at La Nouvelle Spa a few months ago, and my entire life has changed. I truly feel that a whole new world has opened up for me. I feel better about the way I look, which has given me the confidence to wear bikinis and actually be proud of my body again. Thank you, Dr. Hanna, for making this possible.
Beatrice
"After several years of dressing to disguise my saggy belly, exercising in long loose shirts, and even pulling pillows against my stomach when lying on my side, I finally decided to do something that would truly change everything. I was determined to undergo a tummy tuck and some side liposuction. I am so happy I made the right choice. I now have a completely flat stomach and a perfect belly button. Thank you, Dr. Hanna, for making me happier than I can imagine.
Jacqueline
"I have been on a long journey of weight loss and physical self-improvement and was left with a lot of unnecessary loose skin on my tummy. I dreamed of plastic surgery but never thought it would become a reality. After my tummy tuck, my stomach is so flat that I still cannot believe it. I have never had a flat tummy before, and I even have a really cute belly button now. This is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I would highly recommend Dr. Hanna to anyone. The treatment at La Nouvelle Spa was impeccable.

"If Dr. Hanna knew how wonderful I feel, I think he would increase the charges, LMBO. It is so nice to look in the mirror every day and see a more beautiful me. Eight months ago, I had a tummy tuck after years of feeling horrible about my midsection. Ever since my late teens I had a high stomach, but after having twins in my early 20s, my stomach just looked fat and I was very uncomfortable wearing certain clothes. I worked extremely hard to save for this surgery and I have never regretted a second of it. The best part is that my inner beauty is beginning to sparkle more and more. Being more satisfied with my outer self has given me more time to focus on my inner self, and that makes life magnificent.
