Upper abdominal “pouch:" Do I need a reverse tummy tuck or another breast lift? (photos)

April 4, 2023
Asked By:Enoapir in New York, New York

I had breast reduction approx 18 years ago and a breast lift with implant 9 years ago. I have had a dramatic weight loss since then and am struggling with upper abdominal “pouch.” I've tried coolsculpt, emsculpt etc. When I hold my breasts up, the pouch disappears. I'm convinced it's skin laxity-but am wondering if it can be fixed with another lift or a reverse tummy tuck?
