Background

An increasing number of women are presenting for mastopexy after massive weight loss. The authors analyzed data from a prospective registry of massive weight loss patients who underwent the dermal suspension and parenchymal reshaping mastopexy alone or with concomitant operations to assess safety and efficacy.

Methods

One hundred eight female massive weight loss patients underwent mastopexy. Variables included operative time; time since gastric bypass; body mass index; revision; and complications such as seroma, dehiscence, hematoma, and infection. Univariate analyses were performed to assess outcome measures.
