ABSTRACT
After massive weight loss (MWL), patients present with deformities that are more severe and often different than those observed in standard cosmetic abdominoplasty. The first step is careful consideration of the special factors involved in preoperative screening of patients with MWL presenting for body contouring surgery. Once these patient factors are optimized and surgery is considered, careful analysis of anatomic deformities should ensue. Technical variations of standard abdominoplasty are often required. With proper attention to safe screening, analysis of the anatomic deformities, and application of relevant techniques, plastic surgeons can have a positive impact on the lives of these patients.
