Abdominoplasty is the first-choice conventional surgical procedure to correct abdominal laxity, associated or otherwise with localized fat. In addition to being a highly complex procedure requiring downtime, one of the main complications of abdominoplasty with umbilicoplasty is the appearance of an unsightly scar on the navel. Consequently, the demand for minimally invasive procedures in this area has considerably increased in recent years.

Secondly, we found that among patients undergoing abdominoplasty procedures, diabetic patients were 3.4 times more likely to develop postoperative complications than non-diabetic. In addition, abdominoplasty patients with hypertension were 4.9 times more likely to develop Clavien-Dindo grade II complications than those without hypertension. No significant results were found regarding other grades. As mentioned above, the increased risk found in diabetic abdominoplasty patients is not surprising due to the nature of the surgery and the characteristics of the disease. Regarding the relationship between hypertension and grade II complications in abdominoplasty patients, it may be a coincidental error due to a small number of hypertensive patients in the sample (n = 29, of whom 6 are younger patients and 23 are aging patients).

A total of 69 patients received abdominoplasty only up to the end of 2013, while 94 patients received abdominoplasty and monsplasty between 2014 and 2018, for a total of 163 patients. All patients met specific inclusion and exclusion criteria prior to the surgery, as recommended by the latest massive weight loss patients’ international guidelines [13,14]. Inclusion criteria in the study were represented by: BMI 30 Kg/m2; minimum 6-month pre-operative weight stability (at least 18 months after bariatric surgery); excess skin with persisting fat deposits and lipodystrophy at the abdomen and the mons (Grade 2 and 3 on Pittsburgh Rating Scale [15]; adequate nutritional status. Exclusion criteria were: severe comorbidities, precluding general anesthesia and major surgery, serum Hb level less than 11 g/dL, smoking habit (more than 5 cigarettes/day), uncontrolled psychological disorders or unrealistic expectations.

Abdominoplasty is one of the most common aesthetic procedures performed by plastic surgeons throughout the world [1]. Due to significant soft-tissue undermining and incision length involved in this procedure, the postoperative pain is a major concern both for the patient as well as for the surgeon. Previously various studies have been conducted to improve analgesia after Lipoabdominoplasty procedure using different nerve blocks [2,3]. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block was first introduced in 2001 by Rafi [4], and since then it has been successfully utilised in various surgical procedures like appendectomy, herniorraphy, colorectal surgeries and in many gynecologic procedures [5–10], but in plastic surgery it is yet to be applied widely.
