What is Reverse Abdominoplasty?

Reverse abdominoplasty is a specialized surgical technique designed to correct upper abdominal laxity. Unlike traditional abdominoplasty procedures that focus on the lower abdomen, this method removes excess skin above the navel, providing a firmer and more harmonious appearance. It is rarely performed, typically in cases of trauma or significant weight loss, when upper abdominal folds are not effectively addressed by standard abdominoplasty. Existing incisions from breast lift procedures can often be utilized in reverse abdominoplasty.

Benefits of Reverse Abdominoplasty:

• Removal of loose skin in the upper abdomen.
• Improved torso contour and tone.
• Natural-looking, long-lasting results.
• Ideal for patients with laxity following significant weight loss.

Reverse abdominoplasty is mainly recommended for:

• Patients with localized upper abdominal laxity.
• Rarely, women post-pregnancy with upper abdominal skin sagging.
