I am 5’5, 120 lbs. I’ve had 3 children and lose mainly in the middle and upper part of my belly. I can barely pinch any below the belly button. I am also a breast cancer survivor & would like to have a revision on my implants due to rippling. I don’t see a log of doctors showing reverse tummy tucks, but it seems like where I need the work. If I’m already getting a cut below my breasts, it seems convenient but would love a professional opinion.

Answer: Reverse Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question. If you have a tight lower abdomen and loose skin above the belly button, a reverse tummy tuck could suit you. This procedure involves removing excess skin from the upper abdomen to address these concerns. As a breast cancer survivor seeking implant revision, a reverse tummy tuck can be performed with breast surgery. This technique has been used to reconstruct the chest wall after breast cancer treatment and can also help with issues such as rippling and using tissue from the upper abdomen. It's important to consult a board-certified surgeon who has experience with both surgeries to evaluate your general health, past therapies, and breast cancer history to determine the best approach for you. A physical examination will also be conducted to provide a professional opinion and explore the possibility of combining these surgeries to achieve your goals.

Answer: Reverse Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question. A reverse tummy tuck may be a good option for you based on the loose skin in your upper abdomen and minor lower abdominal laxity. However, it's important to inform your surgeon about your medical history as a breast cancer survivor, including any treatments you've had and how they might impact the surgery and recovery. Your surgeon may need to consult with your oncologist or other medical professionals as necessary. Also, they will assess the condition of your current implants, review different implant options (such as silicone vs. saline), and determine the best approach to achieve natural-looking results with minimal rippling.

Answer: Full tummy tucks are usually preferable to reverse tummy tucks Your question is understandable. Why not have the same incision serve dual purpose? The reason most plastic surgeons are not very enthusiastic about reverse tummy tucks is because full tummy tucks produce better results. The scar is hidden within your panty line and it very effectively tightens the skin of the whole abdomen, including the upper abdomen. A long incision from below one breast to below the other has to cross the midline, where scars are unattractive and can be visible. So the best option is a full tummy tuck and you can have your implant issues treated with the short breast scar you already have.
