Abstract
Plastic surgery is increasingly common for individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery and suffer from excess skin and tissue laxity. A literature review of studies from the past decade found that over 50% of bariatric surgery patients experienced excess skin in the arms and 75.5% experienced it in the abdomen. Plastic surgery can improve the quality of life for these patients by improving appearance and self-esteem. However, potential risks and complications such as infections, bleeding, and poor wound healing should be taken into account before the procedure. The most common plastic surgery procedures include abdominoplasty, breast surgery, brachioplasty, thigh lift, and face and neck lift.
