Reverse Tummy tuck

Overview

In medical terminology, a reverse tummy tuck is also known as reverse abdominoplasty [1]. It is an aesthetic surgery to remove saggy skin and fat deposits from the upper abdomen.

It could also help tighten the upper abdomen muscles and better shape you. Patients often get a reverse tummy tuck alongside breast augmentation surgery.

This is because fat from the upper abdomen can be transferred to the breast to improve its volume and shape. If you desire a flat, well-contoured abdomen, reverse tummy tuck surgery is for you.

Am I a suitable candidate for this operation?

Before you get a reverse tummy tuck surgery, our plastic surgeons will ensure that you meet the criteria that qualify you to have the surgery. They include;

● You are healthy enough to have surgery.
● You do not have a medical condition that can affect the outcome of the surgery.
● You have ideal body weight for the procedure.
● You stop smoking.
● You have clear goals and expectations.

You can get a reverse tummy tuck if you have one of these;

● Excess skin and fat in your abdomen.
● Loose abdominal muscles after pregnancy or weight loss.
● Protruded abdomen.
● If you want to improve your abdominal contours.

Reverse Tummy Tuck Procedure

Reverse Tummy Tuck Procedure is done in three stages:

Perioperative

It is the preparatory phase of the surgery. Before you get a reverse tummy tuck, our cosmetic surgeons will ask you about your worries, concerns, and expectations for the surgery. Also, they will examine your abdomen and ask you to do tests to confirm your health status. Furthermore, our surgeons will advise you to stop taking medications like aspirin.

Intraoperative

The reverse tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, depending on the state of your health. The medications will make the procedure painless and comfortable for you. Our plastic surgeons will make an incision underneath your breasts in the upper abdomen when you are asleep. Excess skin and fat are removed from this small cut. Also, your belly muscles can be tightened to give you a firm upper abdomen. When the procedure is completed, the cuts are closed with sutures or skin glue.

Postoperative

It is the recovery phase of the procedure. Immediately after the surgery, you will wear a unique surgical bandage to prevent swelling at the surgical site. Our surgeons will also give you drugs to shorten the recovery period and hasten your healing. You will be able to resume your normal activities in 1-2 weeks.
