With pregnancy, the layers of the abdominal wall are stretched. Following child birth the layers do not go back into the same position and the abdominal wall is often weakened. The muscles that once sat together in the midline are often split apart and this leads to the formation of a gap. An abdominoplasty not only aims to remove the excess skin but also aims to improve the gap and the abdominal contour by repairing the various layers of the abdominal wall. Mr Ross uses a number of layers of repair to strengthen the abdominal wall. The scars seen in this patient are seen at 6 weeks postop but already one can see the improvement in the abdominal contour and the abdominal wall.
