HI have upper abdominal skin laxity. I don't have any issues with below my bbutton. I have a good amount of skin laxity above my belly button that really bothers me. My lower abs are in good shape with no skin issues. It seems very few surgeons perform reverse tummy tuck. I know it can create quite a scar. What are your thoughts on the procedure? I am 45 years old, 5'5 and weigh 125. I am very physically fit. I am having a hard time finding information on this procedure.

Answer: Reverse tummy tuck A reverse tummy tuck removes upper abdominal excess skin and can tighten the muscles in the upper abdomen. The resultant scar lies in the fold beneath both breasts and joins in the midline.

Answer: Reverse Tummy Tuck. What are your thoughts on this procedure? Hello @OCblonde thank you for your question. It is an appropriate technique to improve laxity above the navel, taking into account several factors. Among others, that in this technique only the skin is fractionated, there is no muscle tie and the scar is just below the breasts. These are factors that should be analyzed by the patient. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
