Reverse Tummy Tuck in Chicago, IL

Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) is one of the most popular plastic surgeries in the world, helping millions of individuals deal with loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy for a smoother, tighter appearance. While a traditional tummy tuck smooths out loose skin by making an incision at the waist and stretching the tissues down, a reverse tummy tuck involves making an incision just underneath the chest and pulling the skin up into a taut position. Also called upper abdominoplasty, reverse tummy tuck surgery might be ideal for Chicago, IL patients who are concerned about loose skin located in the upper abdominal area. It can also serve as a follow-up for conventional abdominoplasty if you want to maximize your results. At Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery, our talented plastic surgeons specialize in both traditional and reverse tummy tucks, allowing our patients to choose the procedure that's right for them. To learn more about upper abdominoplasty, contact our office today and set up your private consultation.

The primary difference between a traditional tummy tuck and a reverse tummy tuck is where the incision is made. For a reverse tummy tuck procedure, we'll make a single incision in the folds beneath the chest. Any extra skin will be pulled up and carefully trimmed away. Finally, we'll stitch the incision tightly together for a "lifted" appearance. Depending on your overall goals, this treatment can pair well with liposuction to remove any stubborn fat in the area. We can discuss the details of your surgery and any add-on procedures during your consultation at our Chicago, IL practice.

Regaining your old look after weight loss or pregnancy is a long and difficult journey for many, and it can be frustrating for that journey to end in loose, saggy stomach skin. In most cases, the only way to effectively eliminate loose skin is with abdominoplasty. Some of the benefits of reverse tummy tuck surgery at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery are:

  • Scars can be neatly hidden under the breasts
  • Lifts the skin to create a taut look and feel
  • Reduces wrinkles and sagging around the midsection
  • Eliminates uncomfortable chafing
  • Improves your overall proportions and figure
  • Empowers you to feel more confident in a wider variety of outfit options

I had chin lipo done by Dr. Simon and had the BEST experience. I’ve wanted to do this my whole life and finally made the choice because of how comfortable I felt going into the process. During the surgery it was painless and we were actually cracking jokes and laughing the whole time with Monica who is also WONDERFUL. Don’t get me wrong it’s not the most comfortable thing in the world but there was no pain at any point. My recovery has gone super well and In just 3-4 days you can live your life totally normal. I already have friends who have seen my results that are going to Dr. Simon now.
