Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Bariatric Surgery
  • Body Contouring

Background:

  • Massive weight loss post-bariatric surgery frequently leads to excess skin, causing appearance-related stigma and physical/psychological impairments.
  • This review examines the evidence for plastic surgery following bariatric procedures and available treatment options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evidence base for post-bariatric plastic surgery.
  • To discuss available treatment options for excess skin after massive weight loss.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search of PubMed using keywords 'bariatric surgery' and 'plastic surgery'.
  • Inclusion of authors' clinical experience with numerous patients.

Main Results:

  • Body contouring surgery addresses troublesome skin conditions, improving quality of life and function.
  • Limited scientific evidence exists for surgical indications, techniques, and complication risks, with surgeon experience often guiding decisions.
  • Many surgeons restrict body contouring to patients with BMI < 28 kg/m², often denying requests from bariatric patients with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m² unless medically necessary.

Conclusions:

  • Post-bariatric plastic surgery can enhance functioning and quality of life.
  • Further prospective studies and a patient registry are needed to strengthen the evidence base for indications, methods, and outcomes.
  • Specific attention is required for documenting outcomes in patients with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m².
