Why Reverse Abdominoplasty?
At Elysian Plastic Surgery in Omaha, NE, reverse abdominoplasty is a specialized body contouring procedure that targets excess skin and laxity in the upper abdomen—just beneath the breasts or chest wall. This technique is ideal for patients who have loose or sagging skin above the belly button that is not adequately addressed by a traditional tummy tuck or who have previously undergone lower abdominal surgery and now wish to refine the upper portion of the abdomen.
This technique is especially beneficial for those patients with isolated upper abdominal skin laxity, and offers a precise and powerful option for patients seeking a balanced, sculpted abdominal appearance, when a traditional tummy tuck alone is not the best fit.
DR. BRIAN’S PROCESS
During the procedure, excess upper abdominal skin is carefully lifted and removed through incisions hidden in the natural inframammary fold (breast crease) in women or along the lower chest wall in men. The remaining skin is tightened upward, improving contour and tone without altering the lower abdomen. Reverse abdominoplasty can be performed on its own or combined with breast procedures (such as breast lift, reduction, or augmentation) or liposuction for comprehensive upper body refinement.
The procedure is performed in our state-licensed, fully accredited ambulatory surgery center, with careful attention to incision placement, symmetry, and skin tension for the most natural results.
