Abdominoplasty at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
A flat, toned abdomen is a common aesthetic goal, but factors such as pregnancy, weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics can cause the abdominal muscles to weaken and excess skin or fat to accumulate. Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat, tightens weakened abdominal muscles, and restores a smoother, firmer midsection.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to create natural-looking, beautifully contoured results. We are committed to delivering outstanding care and ensuring each patient’s comfort and satisfaction.
Why Choose Abdominoplasty?
Patients choose abdominoplasty for a variety of reasons, including:
- Removing loose, sagging skin from the abdomen
- Tightening separated or weakened abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Eliminating stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
- Restoring abdominal contour after pregnancy or significant weight loss
- Improving overall body proportions and confidence
Our goal is to help you achieve a flatter, more defined abdominal profile with long-lasting, natural results.
Customized Approach to Your Abdominoplasty
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we personalize every abdominoplasty procedure to suit your body shape and specific needs.
Types of Abdominoplasty Procedures:
- Full Abdominoplasty: Removes excess skin and fat from both the upper and lower abdomen, tightens abdominal muscles, and repositions the navel.
- Mini Abdominoplasty: Targets only the lower abdomen below the belly button; ideal for patients with minimal excess skin or fat.
- Extended Abdominoplasty: Treats excess skin and fat extending to the flanks or lower back, often recommended for patients who have undergone massive weight loss.
- Liposuction-Assisted Abdominoplasty: Combines liposuction with skin and muscle tightening for enhanced contouring.
We will discuss your options and recommend the best surgical plan during your consultation.

The Procedure: What to Expect
Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and typically requires one surgical session.
Surgical Steps:
- Incision Placement: Usually made low on the abdomen, below the bikini line, to keep scars discreet.
- Muscle Repair and Fat Removal: Weakened abdominal muscles are tightened, and excess fat is removed.
- Skin Repositioning: Loose skin is trimmed, and the remaining skin is smoothed over the abdominal area.
- Closure: Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and a compression garment is applied to support healing.
The procedure generally takes 2 to 4 hours, and patients are typically discharged the same day or after a short observation period.
Recovery and Aftercare
You can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort after surgery, which gradually improves over several weeks.
You will be advised to:
- Wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the abdomen
- Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for 4–6 weeks
- Walk gently to promote circulation and aid recovery
- Follow all post-operative instructions provided by our team
- Attend scheduled follow-up visits to monitor healing and results
Most patients begin to notice a flatter, firmer abdomen as swelling subsides.
Natural and Lasting Results
