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. Liposuction is frequently performed on the flanks and helps in the abdominal recontouring. The scars seen in this patient are seen after 6 weeks postop and the swelling above the scar and the quality of the scar will still take a number of months to settle and mature.

This lady wished to improve the jowl area and redefine her jaw and improve the appearance of her neck. Elevating the skin away from the underlying tissues allows access for the platysma muscle to be tightened directly via a lateral platysmaplasty. The repositioning of this muscle allows the jaw to be better defined and then the SMAS lifted higher to give extra volume to the midface. The results are shown at 6 weeks and the scars will continue to improve over the coming months. At 6 weeks, the scars have healed very well and have faded considerably. The scars then run into the scalp with no disruption of the hairline. The scars will continue to improve over the coming weeks.

This lady has previously had a breast augmentation performed elsewhere. She had developed unusual symptoms and had become very concerned that these were linked to her breast implants. She had a significant amount of bottoming out of her breast implants preoperatively and after removal the excess skin has been elevated onto the chest wall to try and prevent the scar becoming visible. She had a complete en bloc removal even though her skin was thin. There is always more chance in this scenario of there being skin irregularities although at 6 weeks everything has settled. She is overjoyed with the result and feels a lot less anxious about her breast implants and her quality of life has improved.

A tummy tuck strengthens the abdominal wall, allows removal of skin excess and by stretching the remaining skin the skin wrinkling and stretch marks are often improved. This lady is seen 3 months following an abdominoplasty showing the improvement in contour even at an early stage. Mr Ross does not use any drains and patients are mobilised immediately following surgery. Mr Ross finds that early mobilisation often means that patients do not require DVT and PE prophylaxis in the form of pharmacological agents and thus reduces further the chances of bleeding postop.

This lady wished to remove her breast implants as she had developed some discomfort. She has had the breast implants in place for over 10 years and wished to remove the implants only. The results are shown at 6 weeks.
This lady wished to improve the jowl area and redefine her jaw with facial rejuvenation surgery. Mr Ross believes that for one to be able to access the neck and the jaw sufficiently that often a full-face incision is required. Elevating the skin away from the underlying tissues allows access for the platysma muscle to be tightened directly. The repositioning of this muscle allows the jaw to be better defined and then the midface lifted higher using the SMAS tissue to give extra volume. The results are seen after all the swelling has settled showing an improvement in the jowl and jaw area.
