Abstract
After massive weight loss, former obese patients have adipose and cutaneous excess, the skin has lost all its elasticity. Functional and psychological consequences can be significant. Between January 2000 and January 2005, 122 patients underwent some kind of plastic surgery following massive weight loss. In more than 90% of thecases, patients underwent abdominoplasty, associated with liposuction, breast surgery, thighs or arms dermolipectomy or facelift. Multiple simultaneous body contouring surgeries on a single patient is often performed because it's convenient and does not increase morbidity, as long as operative time and blood loss is limited. Overall patient's satisfaction is good, and a favorable impact on quality of life is demonstrated.
