Dear all, are there any vitiligo persons who have done tummy tuck or breast lift? Was there any worsening of your existing vitiligo patches after surgery? Did the surgery trauma cause new white patches to appear on the wound sites or elsewhere? I developed vitiligo after the birth of my last child. 95% of it is on my face. I did a skin graft early this year and pigments are slowly returning. Can i go ahead with TT and BL? I am 40 this year, in relatively good health. Thank you.

Answer: Bellesoma Method and tummy tuck with mesh A tummy tuck and breast lift can be done on patients with vitiligo. The breast lift technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. A tummy tuck can be done at the same time. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.

Answer: Vitiligo Patients with vitiligo have had all types of surgery, including tummy tucks. For most patient, surgery in the area of noninvolved skin does not develop more pigment loss.
