I am thinking of getting a reverse abdominoplasty for about two inches of skin below my breasts I don't want. However, I am worried about the scar and also if my breasts could sag more after the procedure due to the weight of the scar. I am more concerned about the second possibility.

Answer: Only rare indications for a reverse abdominoplasty. Most patients for many reasons benefit from and abdominoplasty. A reverse abdominoplasty is usually reserved for massive weight loss patients that have aesthetic problems benefiting from this type of surgery. If properly executed it should have no effect on the position of your breasts.

Answer: Is a reverse tummy tuck /abdominoplasty worth getting? Thank you for your question. A reverse tummy tuck involves a scar placed across your chest, with the majority hidden in your breast creases. This scar will not accelerate any breast sagging, but be sure that you are seeing a board certified plastic surgeon who can thoroughly explain to you the reverse abdominoplasty procedure, and its incisions. Most patients who may benefit from this type of surgery are the massive weight loss patients (>100 lb weight loss) who have significant skin excess. Most other patients can normally get their desired results from a full tummy tuck and liposuction. Hope this helps.
