Abstract

Background Body contouring surgery after massive weight loss was shown to ameliorate the patient's quality of life and to enhance physical and psychological well-being. However, numerous patients are still obese when presenting for body contouring surgery, not able to lose additional weight for various reasons. Data regarding general feasibility, outcome, and postoperative complications in obese patients is rare. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcome in body contouring procedures in obese patients.
