Plastic surgeons do their best to hide scars in surgery. In select patients with excess skin, fat, and tissue in their upper abdomen, the best place to hide a scar may actually be at the top of the abdomen instead of in the bikini area (as usually done in a regular tummy tuck).
An upside down tummy tuck, or a reverse abdominoplasty, will place the scar under the breasts, at the top of the abdomen, and will pull the skin of the abdomen up.
Patients who may be candidates include those who have had upper abdominal surgery and already have a scar in this position.
Could you be a candidate? The best way to find out is to be evaluated by a board certifed plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgery is personalized to fit your body and your aesthetic goals.
