[Plastic surgery in the treatment of the outcome of intestinal bypass for obesity: a clinical case report].
The authors report the case of a 39-year old woman who had a fast and dramatic weight loss after an intestinal bypass performed elsewhere. The result was a generalized skin flakiness which caused dissatisfaction and psychological unbalance of the patient. Three plastic surgeries were therefore programmed and performed at different moments: mastopexy, abdominoplasty and upper thigh dermolipectomy. No immediate or late complications were observed, even after 2 years. The authors stress the importance of a correct planning of a plastic surgery as a solution to the generalized tissue flakiness in the formerly obese patient.
