Reverse Tummy Tuck
Not infrequently I see patients in whom there is as much skin laxity in the upper abdomen as there is in the lower abdomen. In fact, some patients after pregnancy will have fairly 'toned' lower abdominal skin, but very lax and redundant upper abdominal skin. In these situations, the removal of skin in a vertically downward direction ( a conventional tummy tuck) is not adequate to correct the upper abdominal skin laxity. Such patients are often very good candidates for what I refer to as a...

Breast Lift to treat Abdominal Concerns?
Unfortunately, breast lift surgery will not be effective in treating the skin above the navel. What you may be thinking about is the “reverse abdominoplasty”; even this procedure has limited effects at the level of the umbilicus.
You may be better off with direct abdominal wall contouring operations as opposed to trying to approach the area from above.
Best wishes.

You would greatly regret attempting this.....
On the other hand, there ARE excellent ways to achieve tightness in the abdomen-
Visit a reputable surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery for a consultation.

No
The surgery for the breast will not lift the upper abdominal tissue. Some doctors try to combine the breast lift and upper abdominal lift,but they are not successful and the long term result is pulling the breast fold down.

Breast Lift and Belly Button
No, the breast lift will not lift the skin of your abdomen. The lift of the breast is in a medial and lateral vector which pushes up the breast tissue. What you would likely need is an abdominoplasty to pull the abdominal skin down. However without pictures or seeing you in person, it is impossible to give you specific advice.

Breast lift and reverse abdominoplasty
A breast lift usually does not lift the upper abdominal skin but a custom-designed operation could, However, it is difficult to predict the relationship of the breast to the scar and the upper abdomen when there are so many changes happening anatomically. Ideally you would want to do a reverse abdominoplasty that sets the inframammary fold at an appropriate level and then lifts the breast in relationship to that.

A Breast Lift will NOT Lift sagging Upper Tummy Skin
I applaud your imagination. But - a Breast Lift will NEVER lift much less flatten loose upper tummy skin.
Most breast lifts (especially the skin tightening, Anchor / inverse T / Wise pattern types) remove excessive breast skin and lift the breasts. Such lifts are uniformly short lived because that thin skin always gives and gravity ALWAYS ends up pulling the breasts back down. (This is NOT the case with Short Scar Breast Lifting and Breast Reduction methods).
Because of the dense...

BBreast lifts don't affect the abdomen
To lift the abdomen and tighten the upper abdomen you need a tummy tuck, regular not reverse style. The reverse tummy tucks can make a bad, unfixable scar all the way across your chest below the breasts. Breast lifts don't affect the abdomen at all.
