Body contouring surgery for loose skin after bariatric surgery: patient perceptions and attitudes

doi:10.3877/cma.j.issn.2095-9605.2022.02.010

Abstract

Abstract:

Bariatric surgery (BS) is an effective way to treat obesity and related metabolic diseases. Still, postoperative skin problems have varying degrees of impact on patients' quality of life and psychosocial function and need to be solved by body contouring surgery (BCS). However, the inability to accurately define BCS between plastic surgery and functional surgery is controversial, and there are relatively few studies on the perception and attitude of BCS. Therefore, the author analysed the current retrospective and prospective studies on the causes, sites and adverse effects of skin problems, summarised the clinical evidence on patients' attitude to BCS, influencing factors and interventions towards BCS, and proposed that BCS can improve patients' quality of life, as part of the treatment process of morbid obesity; At the same time, bariatric and plastic surgeons should pay more attention to the problem of loose skin in postoperative patients, and promote BCS correctly in clinical practice to improve the quality of life of patients.
