Factors and barriers influencing the decision to undergo body contouring surgery after bariatric surgery: A cross-sectional study.

This study found that female gender, achieving optimum weight within 2 or more years post-bariatric surgery, and a smaller median change in body mass index were significant predictors of future body contouring surgery. These findings are important for advising and educating post-bariatric patients regarding their options for body-contouring procedures.
