Quality of Life after Postbariatric Abdominoplasty in Females: Interest of Age, Current Weight and Weight Loss

“…The majority of the population was satisfied with the intervention despite occasional scar troubles, and reported better quality of life after abdominoplasty. Such findings are consistent with other studies, pointing out 75-90% satisfaction with abdominoplasty [10,11].…”

“…The lack of validated questionnaires targeted for this population is a common criticism [3]. As a consequence, discrepancies between different protocols are not infrequent, some centers reporting lack of response in general psychosocial functioning, such as self-esteem, satisfaction with life, and social anxiety [4].…”

“…Standardized psycho-social questionnaires are also complex and time-consuming to develop and validate. Nevertheless, in daily practice, most complaints are quite objective and concern body contour, mobility, personal hygiene, sexual activity and satisfaction with dressing (choice of clothes) [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”

Plastie abdominale en deux positions

“…L'apport de la lipoaspiration combinée à l'abdominoplastie a déjà été largement décrit dans la littérature [5,6]. La lipoaspiration permet une meilleure définition de la silhouette en traitant les lipoméries non accessibles à la résection.…”

“…Dans notre expérience, l'ajout de la lipoaspiration postérieure augmente souvent la gêne postopératoire ressentie par les patientes. Cependant, il nous semble que ce phénomène reste facilement contrôlé par les antalgiques de palier II [5]. De plus, nous réalisons fréquemment cette intervention sans prise en charge par l'assurance maladie (38 patientes dans cette série), avec une seule nuit d'hospitalisation.…”
