This lady has previously had a breast augmentation procedure performed elsewhere. With pregnancy and the weight of the implants, she developed additional skin stretch and widening of the nipple-areola complex with excess skin. She wished to remove her implants and it is important for patients to discuss the pros and cons of lifting and mastopexy at the same time as implant removal. This lady opted to have the excess skin tightened and the stretched skin used to auto-augment the breast. Due to the amount of excess skin, it will take a number of months for this to settle and it can take 6-12 months but the improved aesthetics are easily seen even at this stage.

This lady has previously had a mastopexy implant procedure and wished to remove her implants. It is always difficult to predict how the breasts will appear after removal especially when a mastopexy or breast lift has previously been performed. It is important to consider the pros and cons of removal only and the pros and cons of removal and replacement. This lady has also considered a further breast lift and the use of autologous fat transfer. Her prime aim was to remove the implants and during surgery the capsules were very thin. Thus, only a partial capsulectomy was performed and the tissue sent for pathological analysis. Everything has settled well after 6 weeks and she is very happy with the result.

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.

The scar of a tummy tuck is best placed as low as possible next to the pubic hair.

The postop picture has been taken at 6 weeks and this lady is back doing everything she normally does alongside looking after her 4 children.

A tummy tuck strengthens the abdominal wall, allows removal of skin excess and removes excess fat.

Through pregnancy and weight gain and loss the abdominal wall can be expanded in an irregular fashion. Excess skin can be unevenly distributed and the abdominal wall can be weaker on one side than the other. Abdominal wall tightening helps to improve the contour and once the excess skin has been removed the scar can be placed as low as possible. Although the scar is placed as low as possible and the umbilicus placed in the midline the scars can be pulled in different directions postop and the scar may end up being asymmetric. The scar in this lady is 5 months postop and will continue to fade. Scars can be unpredictable and the position is often dictated by the starting point. Patients need to be aware that scars can be irregular and also the umbilicus can move off the midline.
