Pregnancy leads to many changes in a woman’s
body, mainly through the interaction of steroid
hormones, lactogen and cortisol on the underlying
tissues and structures. The growing foetus itself
causes mechanical change also by stretching
skin, muscle and fascia and demanding an increased
calorific supply. The amount of extra weight gained
during pregnancy varies among women.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body. During the procedure, a small incision is made, and a thin tube called a cannula is used to suction out the fat. Liposuction can be used to contour and reshape the body, but it is not a weight loss solution or a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.

The role of bariatric surgery in the managementWafaa Benjamin
Despite the fact that bariatric surgery does not reduce absolute BMI to within normal range in most patients, studies suggest it improves some important markers of fertility including hyper-insulinemia and ovulation in polycystic ovary syndrome.
Moreover, maternal outcomes and morbidity in pregnancy are better than for women who are similarly obese and are comparable with that of the general population.
Obese women who have weight loss surgery before becoming pregnant have a lower risk of pregnancy-related health problems and their children are less likely to be born with complications.
Life-long vitamin supplementation is advised.
It is advised against falling pregnant during the initial weight loss phase (1 year)

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

[ABVS follow-up of women undergoing autologous fat implantation ]
should be standardized to ensure reproducibility
improve patient safety.
Approximately 5 to10 million women worldwide have breast implants.
There were 296,203 breast augmentation procedures and 93,083 breast reconstruction procedures performed in the United States in 2010.
Approximately half the procedures used saline-filled implants and half used silicone gel-filled implants.
Breast implants are medical devices that are implanted under the breast tissue or under the chest muscle to increase breast size (augmentation) or to rebuild breast tissue after mastectomy or other damage to the breast (reconstruction). They are also used in revision surgeries, which correct or improve the result of an original surgery.
There are two types of breast implants approved for sale in the United States: saline-filled and silicone gel-filled. Both types have a silicone outer shell. They vary in size, shell thickness, and shape (contour).
The treatment involves injecting stabilised hyaluronic acid into the breast, buttock or other areas, and then moulding to the desired shape.[4] The procedures requires a local anaesthetic, and will likely cause bruising, swelling and discomfort for a few days. The effect only lasts for 12 months, after which further injections are required.
Before Surgery
Your surgeon may ask that you have a mammogram or breast X-rays prior to surgery in order to identify any breast abnormality and so the surgeon has a preoperative image of your breast tissue.
You will usually be asked to not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before surgery and to bring loose clothing, including a loose-fitting bra without underwire, to wear after surgery. If you are going home the same day as the surgery, you will need to plan for someone to drive you home.
Your surgeon should discuss with you the extent of surgery, the estimated time it will take and how they plan to treat for pain and nausea.
During Surgery
Once you have been given anesthesia and it has taken effect, the surgeon will make an incision (cut) in one of the following areas:
along the underside of your breast (inframammary)
under your arm (transaxillary)
around the nipple (periareolar)
through the mastectomy scar (for reconstruction)
The FDA-approved labeling warns surgeons NOT to place breast implants through the belly-button (peri-umbilical approach).
Female torso showing three incision points: under arm transaxillary incision, breast fold inframammary incision, and around nipple periareolar incision.
Illustration from INAMED Patient Labeling.
A woman covering her breasts with her hands, showing a small incision scar on the underside of the breast.The location of the incision can affect how visible the scars are, as well as any complications you may experience after surgery.
Cutting the underside of the breast is the most common location used since it is where the skin naturally folds. Your scarring with this type of incision may be a bit more visible, especially if you are younger, thin and have not yet had children.
Placing the implant through an incision under the arm will likely require your surgeon to use an endoscope, a tool with a camera and other surgical instruments inserted into the incision site to help the surgeon guide the implant into place. While there will likely be no visible scar around your breast, you may have a scar on the underside of your arm.
Cutting around the edge of the nipple (areola) may cause problems with loss or change of sensation in the nipple.
The surgeon will place the implant above (subglandular) or below (submuscular) the chest wall muscles. Be sure to discuss the pros and cons of the implant placement selected for you with your surgeon prior to surgery.
If you are getting silicone-gel filled implants they will already be filled with silicone gel when inserted. If you are getting saline-filled implants and the implant is not pre-filled, the surgeon will insert the silicone shell and then fill the implant to the desired level with saline.
The incision is then closed with stitches. Your surgeon may place temporary drains in the incision prior to closing it to prevent fluid or blood accumulation. Catheters to deliver pain medicine at the site of the incision may also be placed prior to closing the incision. The drains or catheters would be removed during a follow-up visit after surgery.
After Surgery
After surgery you will be taken to a recovery area to be monitored. Your breasts will be wrapped in gauze or a surgical bra.
Your surgeon should describe the usual after surgery (postoperative) recovery process, the possible complications that may occur, and the recovery period. Following the operation, as with any surgery, you can expect some pain, swelling, bruising and tenderness. These effects may last for a month or longer, but should disappear with time. Scarring is a natural result of surgery. Prior to surgery, ask your surgeon to describe the location, size and appearance of any expected scars. For most women, scars will fade over time into thin lines. The darker your skin, the more prominent the scars are likely to be.
Your surgeon may prescribe medications for pain and/or nausea. If you experience bleeding, fever, warmth, redness of the breast, or other symptoms of infection, you should immediately report these symptoms to your surgeon. Your surgeon should tell you about wound healing and how to care for your wound.
You may need a postoperative bra, compression bandage or jogging bra for extra support as you heal. At your surgeon’s recommendation you will most likely be able to return to work within one to two weeks, but you should avoid any strenuous activities that could raise your pulse and blood pressure for at least two weeks.
Ask your surgeon about a schedule for follow-up visits, limits on your activities, precautions you should take, and when you can return to your normal activities, including exercising. If you received silicone gel-filled breast implants, the FDA recommends that you receive MRI screening for silent rupture 3 years after receiving your implant and every 2 years after that.
Continue to get mammograms to screen for breast cancer. Be sure to tell the person giving your mammogram that you have breast implants. Breast implants may make it difficult to see breast tissue on standard mammograms, so they may need to use different techniques.
If you are enrolled in a clinical study, be sure to ask your surgeon for a schedule of follow-up examinations set by the study plan.
