A traditional tummy tuck addresses the area below the navel. A reverse tummy tuck involves removing fat and skin from the area above the navel. Both procedures are similar in how they\u2019re carried out. Dr. Obasi makes an incision or a series of incisions across the breast area, the hips, or near the navel. He loosens skin from the abdominal wall and repairs weakened muscles or fascia. He may use liposuction to remove excess fat and manipulate the abdomen easily. Then, he removes any excess skin and pulls or \u201ctucks\u201d the area closed with stitches. Most patients have a more contoured lower abdomen and a tighter and slimmer upper abdomen.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>\r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

If flesh from your belly button to the pelvic area looks smooth and tight, but skin from the breast to the navel hangs downward, a reverse tummy tuck can probably help. Additionally, you might be a good candidate for reverse tummy tuck surgery if:<\/span><\/p>\n
