Is a reverse tummy tuck the right procedure for my loose upper abdominal skin? (Photos)

July 2, 2017
Asked By:electricaa in Long Island, NY

Hi, I'm feeling very self conscious of this loose skin over my belly button. I have had a breast lift with augmentation in 2003 so I'm wondering if a reverse tuck is the best option since the incision was made under my breasts. I am extremely active, work out 5 days a week eat very low carb diet, but within past two years I've noticed the skin is much looser. I have 1 pregnancy and delivered by c-section.
