I have had four pregnancies and my upper stomach skin is loose. I am thinking of getting breast implants to fix a loss of volume and was wondering if I could have a reverse tummy tuck at the same time to tighten the skin.
Answer: Reverse tummy tuck From the posted photos it appears you may be a candidate for a reverse tummy tuck. They are not as common as a standard tuck and have some risk/benefit considerations to take into account. Be sure to speak with your surgeon about your options to help decide what is best for you. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: TT Thank you for your inquiry! By your photos, it looks like you would be a great candidate for an reverse abdominoplasty to get rid of excess skin to your upper abdomen. It would require using the same incisions for your breast procedure and both can be done at the same time. I recommend scheduling a consult appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can create a surgical plan that is best for you and your goals!

Answer: Tummy tuck Having a reverse abdominoplasty isn't the right treatment for you. You can have breast surgery with fewer scars, and you also need an abdominoplasty with muscle reconstruction to correct your diastasis and remove excess skin from your abdomen.

Answer: Thank you for your question! There does seem to be loose skin that can possibly be fixed with a reverse tummy tuck, however, it would be best to also see what the condition of the skin is for your lower abdomen, in a lot of cases when doing a regular tummy tuck when they pull downward the upper skin is also pulled down and it can all be removed with that incision as opposed to a reverse tummy tuck however, if you’re not interested in having a regular tummy tuck with an incision in your lower abdomen then yes it does seem to be that you do have skin for it but the video )additional footage) can help further evaluate, this will help see how much pull the skin has and make sure that they are is enough to actually be able to do the procedure without leaving too much tension.

Answer: Treating Upper Abdominal Skin Laxity A reverse tummy tuck can be an excellent option and produce a beautiful correction of upper abdominal skin laxity when performed by a detail-oriented surgeon. If appropriately planned and executed, the resultant scar will fall at the breast fold and with even a modest volume breast can remain largely hidden within the breast fold.
