Plastic surgery effectively corrects disabling skin issues after bariatric surgery for morbid obesity. This study shows favorable outcomes and patient satisfaction following these reconstructive procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Bariatric Surgery Outcomes
  • Obesity Medicine

Context:

  • Morbid obesity treatment often involves gastric volume reduction surgery.
  • Post-surgical cutaneous sequelae (skin issues) can be disabling.
  • These sequelae frequently require corrective plastic surgery.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical correction for cutaneous sequelae after gastroplasty.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of plastic surgery in patients with significant weight loss.

Summary:

  • A series of 21 patients underwent surgical correction for skin deformities after gastroplasty, averaging a 42% body mass index loss.
  • Sixty-three anatomical sites were treated across 27 operative sessions using a simultaneous multiple surgical team approach, minimizing complications.

  • Minor local complications occurred in 11 cases, but overall patient satisfaction with aesthetic results was high.

    • Impact:

    • Demonstrates the successful management of challenging post-bariatric surgery skin deformities.
    • Highlights the utility of a multi-team surgical approach for efficiency and patient safety.
    • Provides evidence for high patient satisfaction with reconstructive plastic surgery following massive weight loss.
