Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Bariatric Surgery Outcomes
  • Body Contouring

Background:

  • Rising obesity rates increase demand for plastic surgery in formerly obese individuals.
  • Significant weight loss post-bariatric surgery can lead to excess skin and fat, impacting quality of life.
  • Abdominoplasty addresses these aesthetic and functional concerns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the experience with functional abdominoplasty in post-bariatric patients.
  • To evaluate the impact of abdominoplasty on patients' quality of life and psychological well-being.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 25 patients (18 women, 7 men) who underwent functional abdominoplasty between January 2012 and December 2014.
  • Eligibility criteria included being at least six months post-bariatric surgery.
  • Data collected on patient demographics, pre-operative weight and BMI, and quantity of tissue removed.

Main Results:

  • Average patient age was 51 years, with an average pre-surgery weight of 83.5 kg and BMI of 31.
  • Average tissue removed was 1.765 kg.
  • Minor complications were consistent with literature; no mortality or major complications occurred.
  • The majority of patients reported improved quality of life and psychological well-being post-surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Functional abdominoplasty is effective in improving quality of life and psychological well-being for post-bariatric patients.
  • A multidisciplinary approach (surgical, psychological, dietological) is crucial for maintaining long-term aesthetic and functional results.
