This is an operation to tighten the abdomen but takes the extra skin out under the breasts rather than in the bikini line area as in a traditional tummy tuck. This results in a "Golden Gate Bridge" scar across the upper abdomen and is quite unsightly. Consequently and appropriately, this operation is rarely done.
