Reverse AbdominoplastyThe plastic surgery operation known as Reverse Abdominoplasty is quite a rare procedure - not performed by all plastic surgeons - for patients who have loose skin above the umbilicus. Reverse abdominoplasty may be combined with a female breast reduction or mastopexy (breast lift). Mammary Fold InsertionDuring reverse abdominoplasty, a surgical incision is made along the mammary fold in an upside down V shape. The skin flap is then tightened and sutured. The condition known as rectus diastasis (weak muscles) may be managed with a reverse abdominoplasty operation, although problems can occur where the umbilicus is left unfixed and floating. Vertical Scar Abdominoplasty (Fleur-de-lis) Designed for patients with significant amounts of excess skin in the abdominal area, Vertical Scar abdominoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure involving both a transverse surgical incision in the lower abdomen and a midline vertical incision up the abdomen. The vertical length varies from patient to patient and the technique of the individual plastic surgeon. Bariatric Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss |
