| Abstract | ||
| Background: One of the most common procedures for changing the shape of a person's body is abdominoplasty, which often includes monsplasty. It is one of the top five procedures in cosmetic surgery. Abdominoplasty and body lift operations may begin with a monsplasty. Here, we detail a novel method for treating pubic deformities triggered by massive weight reduction. Aim of the Work: The purpose of this research was to evaluate how happy our patients were with the results of their monsplasty and abdominoplasty procedures following significant weight loss. Our team also tried to develop a surgical care decision-making system. Patients and Methods: This prospective study involved 30 cases designed to assess the outcome of a combination of both abdominoplasty with monsplasty in patients with massive weight loss either dietary or post bariatric surgery. The 30 patients were divided into two groups: Group A: 19 patients who had undergone monsplasty with abdominoplasty, and Group B: 11 patients who opted for standard abdominoplasty without monsplasty. Results: Every individual in group 1 was quite pleased with their surgical outcomes. At the 6-month follow-up, the surgical correction had appeared permanent, with no signs of residual or recurrent deformity. In Group A, all participants underwent monsplasty and were 100% satisfied. In contrast, none in Group B had monsplasty, and only 18.2% were satisfied. The difference in Satisfaction between the groups is statistically significant [p<0.001]. There was no residual or recurrent deformity at the 6-month follow-up. And the results of the surgery seemed to be long-lasting. Conclusion: The findings of this research provide evidence that modifications to the conventional treatment for pubic deformity following large weight reduction are safe, readily repeatable, provide a high degree of aesthetic and functional outcome, and have long lasting effects. | ||
