This procedure is normally only used on patients
who need substantial skin excision and waist tightening, or if a
previous vertical scar exists. This is used most often in post bariatric
patients who have undergone an open gastric bypass. The procedure
is suggested for patients with massive weight loss, obesity with
a panniculus, and supra-umbilical dermatochalasis with or without
multiple abdominal scars. The vertical Scar abdominoplasty procedure
involves a transverse surgical incision in the lower abdomen and
a midline vertical incision up the abdomen. The resulting scar has
the shape of an inverted T and the abdominal tissue can be pulled
very tight with this approach.
