Are you struggling with loose skin in your upper abdomen that no amount of exercise or diet seems to fix? For many people, especially after significant weight loss or aging, this area can become a concern. That’s where reverse abdominoplasty, also known as a reverse tummy tuck, comes in.
If you’re considering body contouring surgery in Bangalore, Dr. Pinky Devi Ayyappan a leading plastic and cosmetic surgeon in India, Bangalore offers specialized expertise in reverse abdominoplasty tailored to your unique aesthetic goals.
What is Reverse Abdominoplasty?
Unlike a traditional tummy tuck that targets sagging skin in the lower abdomen, a reverse abdominoplasty focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the upper abdominal area.
The incision is typically made along the natural crease beneath the breasts, making scars discreet and easy to conceal even in swimwear or low-cut tops. This procedure is often combined with a breast lift or liposuction, creating a more harmonious and balanced look for the upper body.
Why Choose Reverse Abdominoplasty?

- Have excess skin in the upper abdomen due to major weight loss.
- Experience skin laxity from aging, resulting in upper abdominal sagging.
- Want a more sculpted and youthful body contour.
- Are looking for combination surgeries like breast lift with tummy tightening.
If you feel self-conscious about your upper abdominal area, a reverse abdominoplasty in India , Bangalore could be the perfect solution for you.
Reverse Abdominoplasty vs. Traditional Tummy Tuck: What’s the Difference?
While both procedures aim to tighten and contour the abdomen, their approaches and focus areas differ:
