Thank you for your review and comments. We had some doubts about the safety of abdominal surgery after abdominoplasty, but were able to complete laparoscopic surgery at our own institution. Thank you for the opportunity to report our experience.
Reviewer 2 Report
All in all not very excitung content.
The authors present their cses of breast reconstruction
and followed up patients how had abdominal surgery later on
I can not find the major problem of abdominal surgery after
a DIEP and I can not find the evidence for the authors
recommendations of port placement (experience of 7 cases is not much)

Thank you for the peer review.
As you pointed out, we have a small number of cases and cannot provide statistical evidence.
As in the previous report, we reported that we were able to complete the laparoscopic surgery after abdominoplasty. Since there has been little mention of the considerations for port placement after abdominoplasty, we have given our opinion here.
