I had a mini Tummy Tuck 2 years ago, and now I'm unhappy with my upper abdomen area (above the belly button). I want a more smoother, tighter look. To correct this, my surgeon has recommended a reverse Tummy Tuck. I'm scared to death of how the scar is going to look since my breasts are set far apart (I had breast implants in 2000 as well). That's my main concern.
He also said he would recut from my mini Tummy Tuck and perform a full Tummy Tuck, but the results wouldn't be as accomplished this way as it would be from a reverse tuck. I'm really torn here and need some advice. I fully trust my surgeon, I'm just wanting to make sure that I make the right choice in which direction to pull my skin. I'm leaning towards the recut.

My plastic surgeon recommended a reverse tummy tuck for me and said the scars would be under each breast, but not across the middle. I asked about a resulting middle bulge and he said that could be eliminated by pulling the skin diagonally out versus straight up. He also said he could eliminate the dropping of the scar by fixing it in place to deeper tissue. Do these things sound possible/reasonable?
