" 08/18/2023 - "Females exhibited a significantly greater desire for body-contouring surgeries (P = .000), which was also related to the percentage of total weight loss following bariatric surgery (P = .025). " 04/01/2016 - "The 134 weight loss patients who completed the BODY-Q twice, either 6 weeks (weight loss/nonsurgical body contouring program) or 6 months (bariatric program) later, improved significantly on 7 appearance and 4 HRQL scales. " 06/01/2022 - "The lower body lift represents an effective and safe body contouring procedure to treat massive weight loss patients with multiple regions of concern.

" 07/01/2008 - "This study demonstrates two points: (1) it confirms that there is a significant increase in the occurrence of complications among morbidly obese and severely morbidly obese patients undergoing a single body contouring procedure, and (2) it shows there is an increase in the occurrence of complications with worsening degree of obesity.
