A reverse abdominoplasty will leave a scar across your abdomen -- usually just below the breasts. Since you already have a scar from your liver surgery, it is possible that the scar could be used (and revised in the process) for the reverse abdominoplasty.

Reverse abdominoplasty is usually reserved for women with laxity in the upper abdomen and extending down to about the belly button. It is very rarely used to lift up skin which is lax near the groin. Sometimes a combination of reverse abdominoplasty and limited lower abdominal incision can be used. These are unusual cases and must be evaluated individually. Good luck!
