Our skilled Baltimore plastic surgeon is proficient in several techniques to perform tummy tuck surgery (known medically as “abdominoplasty”). Among a number of tummy tuck strategies available at JEV Plastic Surgery & Medical Aesthetics is the “reverse” tummy tuck. This advanced method was designed specifically to contour the upper abdomen (i.e., the area above the belly button) and produce a slimmer, more proportionate silhouette.
