Medial thigh lift free flap for autologous breast augmentation after bariatric surgery.
Obesity Surgery 2002 December
BACKGROUND: Massive weight loss following bariatric surgery frequently results in body contour deformities like ptotic and hypoplastic breasts, redundant abdominal tissue and loose skin especially in the medial thigh area. This redundant tissue can be used for breast augmentation in the case of hypertrophic ptotic breasts.
METHOD: In 3 patients who underwent a vertical banded gastroplasty and consecutively lost more than 60% of their body weight, a breast augmentation with a transverse gracilis myocutaneous free flap was performed.
RESULTS: Bilateral myocutaneous gracilis free flap breast augmentation resulted in an esthetic, pleasing result, with additional correction of the redundant skin from the medial thigh region.
CONCLUSION: Autologous breast augmentation with a simultaneous medial thigh lift can be performed safely, after successful weight loss following bariatric surgery.
