The Upper Abdomen Lift
I developed this procedure after years of frustration with seeing abdominoplasty patients who had laxity of the upper abdomen, even though the lower abdomen was nice and firm after the procedure.
I've been obtaining nice results with the Upper Abdominal Lift procedure, which can be done at the same time as the abdominoplasty (or later) through an incision in the inframmary crease of the breasts. It has flattened out the upper abdominal area very well and all of my patients have been quite pleased with it.
The Upper Abdomen Lift adds about 30 minutes to the operating room time when performing a standard abdominoplasty. It can also be done during breast surgery where it enhances the result of a breast lift or breast reduction.
