ABSTRACT

Body contouring post massive weight loss (MWL) is a considerable task and is often a functional rather than esthetic operation. Clinicians are often encouraged to solve multiple issues in a single setting that can be difficult in the MWL patient. A simple abdominoplasty often does not provide a satisfactory outcome in such patients and may result in disharmony of the esthetic unit of the trunk. Trunkoplasty is a technique that combines a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty and reverse abdominoplasty. This is a one-stage operation to address the extra skin of the whole trunk esthetic unit. The average operation time was 4 h with a 3-surgeon team. No blood transfusions were required. There were 3 out of 15 patients with wound-related problems and no incidence of postoperative hematomas. There were no returns to theat ers. Seromas formed were not symptomatic and no interventions were required. The average inpatient stay was 6.9 days and a return to work after 4 weeks. It can improve abdominal contour, define the waist, and improve mons ptosis in one stage without any change in position. This procedure has some specific advantages (accommodates preexisting abdominal scars), but also has shortcomings as compared to "standard" circumferential body contouring.
