BACKGROUND: Abdominal contour deformities after massive weight loss are highly
variable, ranging from a mild upper protuberance to multiple rolls. Correction of
these deformities is challenging and may require advanced surgical techniques.
Evaluating the incidence of patients presenting with various abdominal
deformities and the factors influencing these deformities could aid patients
undergoing weight loss. METHODS: All massive weight loss patients presenting for
abdominal contouring from 2002 to 2012 were reviewed, and abdomens were graded
using a modified Pittsburgh Rating Scale. Data collected for each patient
included body mass indices, history of bariatric surgery, and type of abdominal
contouring surgery. RESULTS: One thousand six patients were evaluated, with a
mean age of 44.2 ± 10.5 years. The mean maximum body mass index was 51.7 ± 9.6
kg/m2, mean current body mass index was 30.0 ± 6.4 kg/m2, and mean change in body
mass index was 21.7 ± 7.0 kg/m2. Sixty-four percent had a high-grade deformity.
Patients with a larger change in body mass index had higher deformity grades (p <
0.001). Patients with higher deformity grades were more likely to undergo a
fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Most patients presenting
for body contouring after massive weight loss have high-grade abdominal
deformities with multiple rolls. Change in body mass index is positively
correlated with deformity grade and more aggressive contouring procedures.
Patients interested in massive weight loss should be counseled that, depending on
desire for eventual outcomes, more complex procedures may be required to correct
the resultant abdominal deformity.
