A Reverse Tummy Tuck is a specialized cosmetic surgery that targets the upper abdomen, specifically the area above the navel, unlike the traditional tummy tuck, which focuses on the lower abdomen. This procedure involves making incisions near the breast, hips, or above the navel, where Dr. Patrick Obasi removes excess fat and skin. By tightening the weakened abdominal muscles or fascia and using liposuction to refine the contours, the reverse tummy tuck effectively lifts and tightens the upper abdominal skin, creating a smoother and more defined midsection. This approach is particularly beneficial for those who experience sagging or loose skin above the navel, often resulting in a more toned and youthful appearance of the entire abdominal area.

The Reverse Tummy Tuck in Plano, TX & Desoto, TX, is ideal for individuals who are close to their ideal body weight, in good health and have specific concerns about the appearance of their upper abdomen. Candidates should not smoke and must have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery. Results from a reverse tummy tuck can be observed shortly after the procedure, with the final appearance becoming more evident as the healing process progresses over the following months. These results are generally long-lasting, particularly if patients stay at a healthy weight and stick to an active lifestyle. However, factors such as aging and gravity can eventually affect the tightness of the skin.
