Reverse Abdominoplasty
Reverse Abdominoplasty
Reverse abdominoplasty is an advanced surgical procedure that aims to eliminate excess skin and fat from the upper part of the abdomen. It is often chosen by those seeking a well-defined upper torso, helping individuals achieve a more toned and youthful appearance.
Anatomy of a Reverse Abdominoplasty
In a reverse abdominoplasty, the surgeon makes an incision along the inframammary fold, roughly the area under the breasts or pectoral muscles. The excess skin is lifted and suitably manipulated to create the desired shape. Significant chunks of fats are simultaneously removed to sculpt the area. The incisions are subsequently closed, typically leaving a scar along the crease under the breasts. It's a perfect choice for those who wish to wear tops that expose the midriff, as the scar remains mostly inconspicuous.
In contrast to the traditional tummy tuck, where the focus is primarily on tightening the stomach's lower region, the reverse abdominoplasty directs its attention upward. This makes reverse abdominoplasty a more suitable option for individuals who have excess skin and fat in the upper abdominal area, serving as an effective catalyst in their body transformation journey.

Benefits of a Reverse Abdominoplasty
- Well-defined Upper Torso: Reverse abdominoplasty helps in eliminating excess skin and fat from the upper abdomen, enabling individuals to achieve a more toned and youthful appearance.
- Inconspicuous Scarring: The incision is made along the inframammary fold, typically leaving a scar under the breasts. This is ideal for those who prefer wearing tops that expose the midriff since the scar remains largely hidden.
- Focus of Upper Abdomen: Unlike traditional tummy tucks that concentrate on the lower stomach region, reverse abdominoplasty targets the upper abdominal area, making it an effective option for those with excess skin and fat in this region.
