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.

Answer: Reverse Tummy tuck vs traditional abdominoplasty Reverse Tummy tuck has few indications. Realistic expectations are important, especially downward migration of the scar, possible breast changes, and overall aesthetics. This should all be discussed at your consultation. In general, to obtain a flatter abdomen traditional abdominoplasty provides the best results. Tummy tucks redrape down and excises the excess skin with tightening the bulging muscle and repositioning the belly button. Scars are low on the abdomen.

You may very well be a good candidate for a reverse abdominoplasty especially since you have scars in the fold of you breasts. Of course an examination would be necessary for precise recommendations.

Answer: Getting rid of loose upper abdominal skin in Los Angeles pregnancy or weight loss can result in loose upper abdominal skin. Some women who are very think and only have excess upper abdominal skin folds consider a Reverse Abdominoplasty. Unfortunately, a reverse tummy tuck can have a very limited result, and for those with significant upper abdominal skin could result in remaining midline excess skin folds. It can also result in widening or stretching of the scars and possibly downward displacement of breast implants.

Answer: Liposuction instead of reverse tummy tuck You do not appear to have a lot of lose skin to warrant a tummy tuck- regular or reverse.Personally, I use Vaser ultrasound liposuction and/or Smart Lipo laser for skin tightening without a large scar and with little down time.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options, limitations and expectations.
