Reverse Tummy Tuck in Beverly Hills, CA
In the aesthetic industry there are multiple body contouring procedures that each have their own areas of improvement. Men and women all struggle with different levels of adipose tissue. Some of their weight is evenly distributed, while others have rare accumulations of fat in regions that are not addressed by traditional procedures. Some tummy tuck patients have excess skin and fat that accumulate in the upper abdominal region only, which makes the stomach look disproportional and displeasing in appearance. For these types of patients, a reverse tummy tuck is designed to eliminate the excess skin and fat from the upper abdomen.
Reverse Tummy Tuck Incisions
A reverse tummy tuck does require similar incisions of the traditional tummy tuck, but they are placed underneath the breasts instead of above the pubic bone. Essentially, this is an upside down tummy tuck that removes the excess skin and fat from the upper abdominals. After the patient is sedated with local or general anesthesia, Dr. Chiu can make the incision to remove the skin from the bottom to top. The only downside is that reverse tummy tuck scars are made in a visible area under the breasts, which cannot be hidden by bikinis or bras for female patients.
Reverse Tummy Tuck Candidates
Typically most Beverly Hills tummy tuck patients find their lower abdominals in need of body contouring, but in the rare instances, a thin patient with visibly lacking skin laxity above the belly button may benefit from a reverse tummy tuck. Ideal reverse tummy tuck candidates include:
- Patients in good overall health
- Those with stubborn excess skin and adipose tissue above navel
- Patients who do not find chest incision lines bothersome
- Patients with stable weight and happy with the appearance of the lower abdominals
