Excess skin and a lack of firmness in the upper abdominal area can be frustrating, especially if diet and exercise aren't delivering the results you desire. At Urbaniak Plastic Surgery in Largo, FL, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Roderick M. Urbaniak offers a specialized solution for this common issue: the reverse tummy tuck. While you may be familiar with the conventional tummy tuck procedure, the reverse tummy tuck specifically targets the upper abdomen, providing a tighter, more contoured appearance. If you're wondering whether this procedure is the right solution to help meet your goals, we're here to help you make an informed decision.

What is a reverse tummy tuck?

A reverse tummy tuck, also known as reverse abdominoplasty, focuses on removing excess skin and tightening the upper abdomen, as opposed to the lower abdomen in a traditional tummy tuck. The reverse abdominoplasty technique often involves an incision just below the breast, providing better contour and lift to the upper abdominal area.

Who should get a reverse tummy tuck?

People often wonder who should consider getting this specialized procedure. Here are some key factors that could make you a good candidate:

  • Significant weight loss: Significant weight loss often leads to sagging skin in the upper abdomen, making you a potential candidate for a reverse tummy tuck.
  • Age-related changes: As we age, skin loses elasticity. If your upper abdominal area is sagging despite diet and exercise, a reverse tummy tuck might be for you.
  • Post-pregnancy: The upper abdomen might not return to its pre-pregnancy state after childbirth. If you're not planning on having more children, this procedure may be an excellent option for you.

What are the benefits of this type of tummy tuck procedure?

The reverse tummy tuck is more than just a cosmetic procedure; it's an investment in your self-confidence and well-being. When you opt for this specialized surgery, you're opening the door to a range of positive life changes. Beyond the immediate aesthetic benefits, the reverse tummy tuck has several advantages, such as:

  • Targeted results: It focuses exclusively on the upper abdominal region, making it effective for specific problem areas.
  • Reduced recovery time: Generally, this procedure has a quicker recovery time than traditional tummy tucks.
  • Versatility: A reverse tummy tuck can be combined with other procedures, like breast augmentation or liposuction, for a more comprehensive body transformation in Largo, FL.

tummy tuck with muscle repair, a breast lift and lipo - Feeling like a million bucks at age 52! - I ask myself the question "Why did I wait so long to do this? " Should have done this years ago! The results are amazing! I am about 2 months post-op and feeling like a million bucks at age 52! I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair, a breast lift (no implants!) and lipo in the surrounding areas. Dr Urbaniak and his staff were amazing from beginning to end. From the ladies at the front desk, to Hannah who walked me through every step of the way to Eva, who I wish I could have with me at all times as my personal assistant post-op, to Dr. Urbaniak who is truly an artist. I couldn't have chosen a better practice. They stayed in constant contact with me throughout and I am healing beautifully!

I had a double mastectomy and though I'm not done with my journey I have to say.... I could not have found a more compassionate and skilled Doctor than Dr Urbaniak. The office and medical staff are exceptional in all aspects of customer service as well and are caring and so friendly. With all the weight on my shoulders I feel so grateful to have them on my "team". When "all this" is behind me, I think I'll go back to him for a neck lift :)

After getting several "breast-imates" a friend urged me to see Dr. Urbaniak. She loved his work and thought I would too. I am so glad I did! He was the only doctor to suggest some additional work that would ultimately create better results. His estimate turned out to be more affordable than the others AND he was so much friendlier. I am beyond satisified with Dr. Roderick Urbaniak and the care his staff gave me. They made every appointment pleasant and quick. AND I LOVE the results of my surgery!! I can't wait to go back and see him again for the follow up. Dr. Urbaniak is a gem!

Very happy with my procedure! - I had been wanting my breast lifted for a very long time. I breastfeed 2 children and they were very saggy and uneven. I had talked about it for over 15 years. Finally, I was at a point in my life where I could afford to do this procedure and also was able to take the time to recover since my children are now grown. I'm so happy I did this. I feel so much better about my self. Dr Urbanick is a great doctor and my breast look and feel so real! I did not want them to look fake and they truly do not. I was very nervous to have this done and I took my time to do my research. I went on 6 consultations and Dr Urbanick was the last one and I found what I was looking for. He and his staff made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely use him in the future if I decide to do anything else.

Dr. G and all the staff are amazing! The facility is clean and the decor is so chic and modern. They also carry Jane Iredale makeup, which is my absolute favorite! I’m so happy to be a patient of Dr. G! I will definitely be back! Pick below is one day after my HydraFacial and Xeomin injections.
