Sumario: | With the increase in obesity in the world, we observe more and more bariatric surgeries. Simultaneously, the incidence of breast cancer increases. The reverse abdominoplasty has been essentially described to lift the upper part of the abdomen for the individual who has loose excess skin in the supraumbilical region. The application of reverse abdominoplasty flap has been extended beyond aesthetic procedures to breast reconstructive interventions. We present an innovative option of postbreast cancer reconstruction by reverse abdominoplasty advanced flap following massive weight loss. |
