I am removing my 190cc implants, had for over a year with a breast lift. Surgeon says I don't need another lift but would benefit from an IMF tuck, I can't find any info on this online or more explanation. Is this common? What can I expect from results?

Answer: IMF tuck The type of tuck you mentioned refers to incisions along the breast fold and in between the breasts. It addresses excess skin on the upper portion of the abdomen. This type of tummy tuck is not standard as the tension of the incisions may cause the incisions to move down below the breasts where they are visible and difficult to hide under bathing suit tops/bras. I encourage you to discuss this further with your surgeon and view multiple before/after photos in order to determine if it is right for you.

Answer: What is an IMF tuck? What can I expect from results? (photo) If the PS with whom you consulted is recommending the reverse TT and breast lift, you should ask to see photos of his/her work and have him/her answer all your questions. A reverse tummy tuck will help with upper abdominal laxity. The scars will be placed in the breast folds. This can be a tricky procedure if the IMF is not strong enough to oppose the tension from the tummy flap. This sometimes has to be reinforced to prevent IMF migration. This may be the only real option in some cases, but I would have to examine you to verify.
