Impact of Weight-Loss Methods on Post-Bariatric Body Contouring Surgery Outcomes: A Comparative Analysis

Highlight

• Post-weight-loss body contouring surgery complication rates are independent of the weight-loss modality used, including bariatric surgery, injectable GLP-1 receptor agonists, combination therapy, or lifestyle modification.
• Patients’ BMI at the time of surgery and the presence of diabetes are significant independent predictors of postoperative complications.
• Procedure-specific expected complication patterns remain consistent regardless of the weight-loss method employed.
