Finding Answers about the Tummy Tuck Procedure in Ventura County

People often spend a lot of time trying to improve their outer appearance. Health, diet, generics, and body metabolism may be a few reasons why you do not have the appearance that you desire. You may have been a person that has spent many months or even years doing sit-ups and other similar exercises to decrease your stomach flab and have not been successful in your venture.

In cases such as this, you may think about having a cosmetic surgery procedure done, which is known as a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty (abdominal plasty). This procedure involves removing the extra fat and skin from your body. The abdominal walls are also tightened during this procedure.

There are several medical facilities that offer this kind of surgery in Ventura County. Doctor Hanna is one of the most reputable doctors in the area. You will feel very comfortable and confident when you meet with him and discuss all your needs, concerns and your expectations. Only this way you will be able to achieve the best results. Dr. Hanna will show you a large library of before and after photos and will discuss the outcome of the surgery.

Although this type of procedure is successful for most people, it is not to be regarded as a quick alternative to weight loss. In other words, only resort to this sort of procedure, if all other means for weight loss control have been exhausted.

You may also be wondering if you are a prime candidate for this procedure. This cosmetic procedure is suitable for men and women who are in good overall health. Dr. Hanna may also elect to perform liposuction while you are having the tummy tuck procedure done.

Those that have been obese at one point in their lives may also want to have a tummy tuck procedure performed. This is done to tighten up loose skin and remove excessive fat deposits from the body. A tummy tuck procedure is not recommended for women who are of childbearing age or who wish to have more children. The reason for this is because the vertical muscles in your body are tightened, and future pregnancies will or can separate these particular muscles.

Permanent scarring can and will often occur with a tummy tuck procedure. But don't be too worried! Unlike in many other offices, we offer several treatments that help those scars almost disappear! 

The abdominoplasty procedure will take anywhere from one to five hours. The period is according to your specific needs and the complexity of the procedure itself. The best part is that we perform this procedure as an outpatient! You will be able to return home the same day (you just need someone to drive you home). You will be put to sleep with a general anesthesia, which will leave you a little drowsy.

There are two types of tummy tuck procedures that are performed. One is the complete abdominoplasty. When this type of procedure is performed, your abdomen is cut from hipbone to hipbone. This is performed on patients who require the most correction. The incision will be made low on your abdomen. It will be almost at the same level of your pubic hair.

The partial or mini abdominoplasty is performed on patients who have fat deposits that are located in the area below the navel. In this type of procedure, shorter incisions are used.

The difference between the two procedures is of course, the amount or length of the incision, the healing and recovery time, and the belly button placement. In the mini procedure, the belly button is not often involved and there is no need to locate or make another opening for it. In the complete abdominoplasty, your tissue around your navel is cut and removed; therefore, your navel is restructured and has a new opening. When a mini abdominoplasty is performed, there is no need for navel manipulation.

In the mini procedure, less time is spent doing the procedure, and may be done with an endoscope. This type of procedure may take only one to two hours.

Here, at La Nouvelle Medical Spa, we offer both – complete and mini abdomianl plasty procedures in our office in Oxnard, Ventura County.

Dr. Hanna specializes in tummy tucks and liposuction; he also has over 25 years of experience in c-sections so his scars are always nice and precise. View the extensive library of our abdominalplasty before and after photos and see why we are the best office for abdominoplasty in Ventura.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Procedures in Ventura County



Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery that changes the shape as well as reduces the size of the lips on the outside of the vagina. These lips are known as the Labia Minora.

Why Have This Procedure?
Some women are born with irregular or large labia. Other women can develop this after childbirth. It can be just a sign of aging. Enlarged labia can be an embarrassment for some women. The appearance of an out of shape or large labia causes them to lose their self-esteem. 

Chronic Labial Irritation
Chronic labial irritation is caused by wearing clothing that is too tight. This can cause discomfort when having sex, playing sports or any other physical activity.
Labiaplasty can change the appearance, shape, and size of the labia. After the surgery, those women who have irritated, painful labia will find relief. Self-esteem will also be restored.

Major Reasons for this Procedure
There are two major reasons for having this surgery:
  • Cosmetic Reasons:  Women are often embarrassed or unhappy with their labia. This can affect their sexual relationships.
  • Medical Reasons: An enlarged labia can cause discomfort when wearing tight clothes and during sexual activity and.

What If You Have Not Had Children?
Often women want to know if they can get a labiaplasty even when they have not had any children. The answer is yes. If the enlarged labia causes unhappiness or physical discomfort due to its appearance, you should look into having the procedure done. This cosmetic surgery changes the way you look on the outside of the vagina, not the inside, like vaginoplasty.

Where Is This Performed and How Long it Takes?
This is done in a surgical suite for outpatients located at Vaginal Rejuvenation Center in Ventura County. The labiaplasty procedure takes up 2 hours. Another hour is usually spent in the recovery room under the watchful eye of a Registered Nurse. Most patients can return to work in 2 to 4 days after the procedure.

Surgery Itself
The labiaplasty surgery has been performed under conscious sedation using a short acting medication known as Diprovan (propophol). You are asleep during the surgery and will usually wake up minutes after the surgery is finished. You will not need to be intubated or paralyzed during the surgery.

Risks or Discomfort
There are some risks with having this procedure done, however, they are extremely rare. One of them is having an infection. There will be some discomfort at the site of the surgery for a few days but it will then gradually decrease. You will receive pain medication and often antibiotics. In approximately 6 weeks, you will be totally healed. All the sutures are the absorbable ones, so there is need for them to be removed.

Post Op Visits
Postoperative visits for local patients are recommended at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, to make certain that the healing is going well. For those patients from out of town, it is recommended there be a postoperative visit at 3 to 4 weeks.

Many Benefits of Labiaplasty, Considerations And Costs



Most do not know but nowadays Labiaplasty is a very popular type of cosmetic surgery for women. A 2006 study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons demonstrated that out of 1,000 female patients that underwent labiaplasty, only up to seven percent required additional treatments. This actually makes labiaplasty one of the safest cosmetic surgical procedures available…

Labiaplasty, a surgical procedure often known as vaginal rejuvenation, has gotten many applauds as well as sneers from numerous groups. While some criticize this female cosmetic surgery option, others approve of this reconstructive surgical process designed to decrease the labia’s size and eliminate any irregularities, including asymmetry. For women who find their large labia to be not only a source of major anxiety but also physical discomfort, labiaplasty provides a wide variety of benefits.

Women who suffer from enlarged labias often deal with low self esteem, irritation, and lowered sexual pleasure. In the 1990s, labiaplasty was a cosmetic surgical procedure that was available only to those in the pornography business or swimsuit models. However, with the increase of sexually explicit materials, women are now more cautiously aware of what their body looks like, especially in terms of sexual well being. Now labiaplasty is commonly available to women who want an aesthetically pleasing vagina that they know will be sexually appealing to their partners.

Most do not know but this is a very popular type of cosmetic surgery for women. One of the biggest concerns women have before undergoing labiaplasty is safety. Prior to 1999, the common method used created scarring, not to mention excessive bleeding and irregular healing. However, plastic surgeons no longer remove excess labial tissue and then stitch up the sides. It now utilizes precision surgery, which is much less dangerous. A 2006 study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons demonstrated that out of 1,000 female patients that underwent labiaplasty, only up to seven percent required additional treatment. This actually makes labiaplasty one of the safest cosmetic surgical procedures available.

For numerous women, labiaplasty offers an increase in self confidence and self worth. It also offers more comfort and the opportunity to experience much more pleasurable sexual experiences. Lapiaplasty is a very safe cosmetic surgical process with a very high percentage of patient satisfaction. Many women seriously consider labiaplasty if they are not satisfied with the current look of their vagina and/or their sex life. There is a high percentage of satisfaction mixed with a very low percentage of possible complications. In one study performed by a plastic surgeon, out of 407 female patients that had labiaplasty, 98 percent said they would do it again. Other statistics included 95 percent saying that genital comfort improved greatly, 93 percent said their self confidence increased, and 71 percent said that labiaplasty offered a much better sex life. From the results, it is easy to see that many women are satisfied after undergoing labiaplasty.

Today, labiaplasty is recognized as a popular, safe cosmetic surgical procedure. The negative emotions toward labiaplasty are quickly fading as more and more women start realizing the inherent value. Women who are looking to increase confidence, both inside and outside the bedroom, and rev up their sexual appearance are looking into the many benefits of labiaplasty. It is a lot cheaper than other cosmetic surgical procedures, as this one runs between $4,500 and $7,000, depending on how complicated the procedure will be.
