Abstract
Introduction. Over the past 50 years, bariatric surgery methods have been increasingly used to treat obesity. However, a marked decrease in body weight leads to a sharp loss of subcutaneous fat and the formation of hanging skin folds, the so-called "aprons", which forces patients to seek help from plastic surgeons in order to correct this pathology.
The purpose of this study is to identify the frequency of patients seeking help from plastic surgeons and to evaluate the results two years after performing plastic surgery.
Materials and methods. In the course of a retrospective study, 154 patient medical records were analyzed and clinical observation was performed.
Research results and discussion. To optimize the study, all patients were distributed according to the degree of obesity before bariatric surgery, by age and group affiliation. The analysis of postoperative complications in the immediate postoperative period, long-term results of scar condition and patient satisfaction with aesthetic operations performed was carried out.
Conclusion. Performing aesthetic correction after bariatric surgery is the method of choice for restoring the patient's mental and physical comfort.
