HOW DOES A TRADITIONAL TUMMY TUCK COMPARE TO A REVERSE TUMMY TUCK?

Remove Excess Skin from the Upper Abdominal Area in the Milwaukee and Madison Area

Many people who meet with a plastic surgeon are interested in reshaping the contour of the abdomen. Patients have many reasons why they might decide to undergo a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), which some people call a “belly tuck,” “stomach tuck,” or “tummy lift.” For some, a tummy tuck after weight loss might help them complete their weight loss journey, while others might seek a tummy tuck for diastasis recti after pregnancy, or a tummy tuck for loose skin caused by aging. A reverse tummy tuck at the Milwaukee and Madison area’s Parkins Plastic Surgery is different from the traditional tummy tuck but can provide equally transformative, long-lasting results.

Reverse Tummy Tuck vs. Traditional Tummy Tuck Surgery: How Do They Compare?

A traditional tummy tuck involves removing excess skin from the lower abdomen. A reverse tummy tuck is usually recommended for someone who has loose, excess skin on the upper abdomen above the belly button, does not have full diastasis recti affecting the lower abdomen’s shape, and might have some excess fatty tissue on the lower abdomen but no loose skin. A reverse tummy tuck focuses on the upper abdomen. Incisions are typically made along the lower breast fold and sternum. Reverse tummy tucks are rare compared to their traditional counterparts and there are very few people who are good candidates.

Many of our patients who are interested in reverse tummy tucks also have other questions such as, “What happens before and after a tummy tuck?” “Are a tummy tuck and belly button reshaping included in the same procedure?” “Can a reverse tummy tuck and ‘lipo’ or liposuction be combined?” “Is a plus-size tummy tuck possible?” “Is a drainless tummy tuck the better option?” and “Is a male tummy tuck the same thing as a tummy tuck for female patients?”

The best way to have your concerns about the tummy tuck procedure addressed is by meeting with us for a consultation to discuss your questions.

These are some of the most common searches from people who are interested in having a reverse tummy tuck.

A tummy tuck is just one of many options available to improve your body shape. Though it is often combined with tummy tuck surgery, liposuction can also be performed on other body areas such as below the chin, the thighs, lower legs, upper arms, and other body areas to provide a slimmer, more streamlined silhouette. There are also various breast surgeries available to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Some of the most popular types include breast augmentation, breast lift, and breast reduction. A combined reverse tummy tuck with breast lift or breast augmentation can also be performed, in what is known as a Mommy Makeover, to help reverse pregnancy-related changes in the body.
