Reverse Tummy Tuck Procedure Overview
what is a reverse tummy tuck
A reverse tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery procedure that addresses excess skin and fat in the upper abdomen rather than the lower abdomen.
Procedure Details
This technique involves an incision along the bra line or under the breasts. The surgeon then:
- Removes excess skin from the upper abdomen
- Tightens underlying muscles if needed
- Repositions tissue for a smoother contour
Ideal Candidates and Recovery
This procedure is suitable for those with loose skin above the navel. Recovery typically involves:
- Several weeks of limited activity
- Wearing compression garments
- Follow-up appointments to monitor healing
It offers a solution for specific abdominal concerns not addressed by traditional tummy tucks.
