Wow - just wow! Dr Leong, her entire staff, esp Mimi and Kathleen, and her associated colleagues at the surgery center went above and beyond for this out-of-town situation! I was referred by a friend, whose results have been fantastic!

I have been in the industry for many many years so I am pretty well informed. That said, my implants were about 12 years old and I felt like they had changed in appearance over the last couple of years. I had no complications other than the appearance and honestly, I felt like they were just too big for me.

★★★★★ — Mimi, Sep 2025

Okay, guys, I'm not gonna lie, walking into a plastic surgery clinic in Newport Beach was a little intimidating for this guy! 😅 But the moment I stepped into Dr. Leong's office, all that "melted" away. Dr. Leong and her team are AMAZING! Seriously, the nicest, most welcoming people ever.

Researching a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.

Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
