Can Breast Lift Tuck Upper Abdomen Loose Skin?

As you have gathered from the posts by many fine surgeons, a complete tummy tuck is usually not advisable through breast lift incisions. It is simply too weak an operation to accomplish large removal of extra skin when performed responsibly, and too brutal a procedure with unacceptable scarring when it is performed completely across the upper abdomen.
The question arises, however, in fit women with just a little laxity of the upper abdomen. Should they have a full tummy tuck incision when they don't have a lot of extra skin?
In our practice, many fit moms have a hybrid tummy tuck (TM). This is a short incision tummy tuck with full tightening of the fascia, the deep layer (lining of the muscles). A small amount of lower abdominal skin is removed. It is different from a mini tuck in that the upper abdominal "muscles" (actually fascia) are tightened, rather than just the lower abdominal fascia. It requires special instrumentation, expertise and often endoscopic equipment to perform.
For those women undergoing a hybrid tummy tuck, upper abdominal skin looseness is not addressed. Since they generally have very little extra skin anyway, the limited reverse abdominoplasty may be the perfect solution to remove a little bit more skin while not incurring full tummy tuck incisions. It is an obvious choice for women undergoing a hybrid tummy tuck and a breast lift.
Important to realize is this procedure is best for fit moms only, who have relatively little excess skin.

You are describing a reverse tummy tuck procedure. In general this is not the way to go for a host of reasons. A standard tummy tuck procedure will redrape your redundant skin both the upper and lower abdominal areas. #TTwithbreastlift#breastlift/ttcombination

What you are inquiring about is a reverse tummy tuck or some variation of it. It is not advisable and would not give you the results that you would want. You should go see a board certified plastic surgeon to see if a full tummy tuck is possible. It still may be so I would not be discouraged.
Good luck.

As you can tell from the previous responses, the 'reverse tummy tuck" is the sort of option you are looking at, but it is not done very commonly. I do think there is a place for it sometimes but there are some limitations to keep in mind. One of these is that in order to lift the skin to a signicant degree, the scar has to come across the midline where it is not very favorable. Also, the more you lift, the more likely the scar will pull down over time. If it can be kept to the area under the breasts, and not a lot of lift is required, then it can work out. It's an individual situation and so you would need to be examined by someone who does the procedure in order to determine whether it is appropriate for your needs and expecations.

This is commonly referred to as a reverse abdominoplasty and can be performed but you may get a better result by doing a full abodminoplasty. It is likely you still may have enough skin but your plastic surgeon would be the best source for determining if the reverse or full abdominoplasty is the best option for you.
