Poor body image is common among individuals seeking bariatric surgery and is associated with adverse psychosocial sequelae. Following massive weight loss secondary to bariatric surgery, many individuals experience excess skin and associated concerns, leading to subsequent body contouring procedures. Little is known, however, about body image changes and associated features from pre-to post-bariatric surgery and subsequent body contouring. The objective of the present study was to conduct a comprehensive literature review of body image following bariatric surgery to help inform future clinical research and care. The articles for the current review were identified by searching PubMed and SCOPUS and references from relevant articles. A total of 60 articles examining body image post-bariatric surgery were identified, and 45 did not include body contouring surgery. Overall, there was great variation in standards of reporting sample characteristics and body image terms. When examining broad levels of body image dissatisfaction, the literature suggests general improvements in certain aspects of body image following bariatric surgery; however, few studies have systematically examined various body image domains from pre-to post-bariatric surgery and subsequent body contouring surgery. In conclusion, there is a paucity of research that examines the multidimensional elements of body image following bariatric surgery.

Introduction: Massive weight loss in obese, has beneficial health effects, however patients usually presents excessive adiposity and redundant skin, that generates physical and psychological problems. The body contouring surgery helps to modify the contour of the body to achieve aesthetic harmony. There are few national studies that describe the epidemiology of body contour surgery in patients with massive weight loss. Objectives: Describes a series of patients with massive weight loss with body contour surgery and its complications. Materials and Methods: A prospective series of patients with body contouring surgery with a history of low body mass, between January 2013 and June 2016, in a university hospital. Patients with incomplete information or operated at another center were excluded. Descriptive statistics was used. Results: 120 patients with body contouring surgery and low weight mass were included. Age of 38.4 ± 10.4 years, 105 (87.5%) were women. 110 (91.67%) were bariatric patients. BMI of 26.56 ± 3.26 kg/m 2 and a weight loss of 39.06 ± 14.17 Kg were reached previous the contouring surgery. The most frequent surgery was the standard abdominoplasty 79 (65.83%), followed by mastopexy with implants 21 (17.5%). 1 (0.83%) presented major complication and 33 (27.5%) had a minor complication during the postoperative period. Discussion: This series presents results similar to other authors, with a lower rate of postoperative complications. Conclusion: The Body contouring surgery are safe procedures, which provides a solution to the bodily sequels after massive weight loss according to our experience.
