BACKGROUND: Pregnancy and vaginal delivery result in irreversible damage to the abdominal wall and skin. In the article, we present a new method for treating major skin laxity, rectus muscle diastasis, and umbilical hernia.
METHODS: A 38-year-old woman with rectus muscle diastasis, umbilical hernia, and major skin laxity was treated with the scarless ab-lift procedure. The extent of diastasis before the surgery, on day 5 after surgery, and 3 months after surgery were measured. Skin laxity was evaluated 5 days and 3 months after surgery.
RESULTS: The rectus muscle diastasis was restored on day 5 after surgery and remained unchanged 3 months later. Only minor supraumbilical folding was visible on day 5, and this disappeared after 3 months. The patient had only mild postoperative pain on day 5, and peroral non-steroid anti-inflammatory analgesics provided sufficient relief. Three months after surgery, she was without pain. No sensory defects were noted on the mobilized skin, and no seroma developed.
CONCLUSION: The scarless ab-lift is a minimally invasive method that completely restores the abdominal wall and skin integrity in patients with rectus muscle diastasis and skin laxity after pregnancy.
