Enhance Upper Abdominal Contour with Dr. Andrew Trussler
Excess skin and laxity in the upper abdomen can be frustrating, especially when diet and exercise do not provide the desired results. Reverse abdominoplasty, also known as a reverse tummy tuck, is a specialized body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin from the upper abdomen to improve overall contour and definition of the upper torso.
At Dr. Andrew Trussler’s plastic surgery practice in Austin, TX, we offer customized reverse abdominoplasty procedures to help patients achieve a smoother, more youthful midsection.
What is Reverse Abdominoplasty?
- Removes excess skin from the upper abdomen
- Enhances upper abdominal contour and definition
- Can be combined with breast surgery for improved aesthetics
- Creates a more balanced, proportionate midsection
- Provides long-lasting results with minimal scarring
- Renuvion is a common procedure added for additional skin tightening
Who is a Candidate for Reverse Abdominoplasty?
Reverse abdominoplasty is ideal for individuals who have loose or excess skin in the upper abdomen that does not improve with diet and exercise. Candidates often include:
- Those who have lost significant weight and are left with sagging skin
- Individuals with skin laxity from aging or pregnancy
- Patients seeking additional contouring after a mini or traditional tummy tuck
- Those in good health with realistic expectations about their results
Dr. Trussler will evaluate your specific concerns and goals during a consultation at his Austin office to determine if reverse abdominoplasty is the right option for you.
What to Expect from Surgery
Reverse abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. The procedure typically involves:
- An incision made below the lower breast crease, where the scar is naturally concealed
- Removal of excess skin from the upper abdominal area
- Tightening and lifting of the remaining skin for a smoother appearance
- Renuvion treatment for skin tightening
- Closure of incisions with meticulous suturing to minimize scarring
Most patients experience some swelling and bruising after the procedure, with recovery typically lasting a few weeks. Dr. Trussler provides detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth healing process and optimal results.
