Why Reverse Tummy Tucks Are Gaining So Much Buzz

Not every patient is a candidate for a traditional tummy tuck, and that’s where the reverse tummy tuck can be a game-changer. In this episode of Plastic Surgery Untold, Dr. Franco breaks down why this procedure is becoming so popular, especially for patients on their weight loss journey.

This approach focuses on lifting and tightening the skin above the belly button with an incision hidden discreetly under the breast fold. For the right candidate, it creates beautiful, natural results without the need for a lower abdominal scar.

Key highlights include:

• Removes excess skin above the belly button

• Incision hidden in the natural breast crease

• Often combined with liposuction or skin tightening treatments

• Great for patients with a high belly button or minimal lower abdominal laxity

While not everyone is the right fit for this procedure, for those who are, the reverse tummy tuck can transform the abdomen and reveal definition that’s already there.
