what is a reverse tummy tuck

A reverse tummy tuck, also known as a reverse abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that tightens and removes excess skin from the area above the belly button. Unlike a traditional tummy tuck, which removes skin from the lower stomach, a reverse tummy tuck removes skin only from the upper portion. The procedure is chosen for individuals who have loose excess skin in the upper abdomen and generally do not have a full abdomen that requires a traditional tummy tuck. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and is an outpatient procedure. The benefits of a reverse tummy tuck include a flatter, more toned-looking upper abdomen, improved posture, and increased self-confidence.
