This procedure is indicated more for patients
whose problem is limited to the upper abdomen. It is performed with
an incision under the breasts and the skin is lifted instead of
being pulled down. A reverse abdominoplasty will have little effect
on loose skin that is located below the belly button. Occasionally
this surgery type is combined with a standard abdominoplasty procedure
resulting in phenomenal results for the patient. Reverse abdominoplasty
may be combined with a breast reduction or breast lift. The scars
from surgery are usually hidden under the breasts which is appealing
to many patients. The transverse incision in the visible mid-portion
of the abdomen makes this type of incision unpopular among many.
The advantage of this is easier exposure without having to work
under a large skin flap. In addition, the patient is typically not
exposed for a long time which can reduce the amount of fluid loss.
The disadvantage to the reverse abdominoplasty is the vertical component
of the incision.
