Risk of Concomitant Abdominoplasty and Breast Surgery versus Isolated Procedures: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundConcomitant abdominoplasty and breast surgery has gained popularity among women seeking comprehensive esthetic rejuvenation. However, concerns remain regarding whether combining procedures increases perioperative risk compared with performing them in isolation. PURPOSE: Compare complication rates following concomitant abdominoplasty and breast surgery versus isolated procedures. MATERIALS AND
methodsA systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library was conducted. Eligible studies included patients undergoing abdominoplasty, breast surgery, or both, with direct comparison of complication rates. Risk of bias was assessed using ROBINS-I, and certainty of evidence was graded with GRADE. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed to calculate pooled odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals.
resultsEight studies encompassing 138,020 patients were included. Of these, 9,422 underwent concomitant procedures, 11,700 underwent abdominoplasty alone, and 106,898 underwent isolated breast surgery. Pooled analysis showed no statistically significant difference in overall complication rates between concomitant and isolated procedures (OR 1.11; 95% CI 0.63-1.96; I
conclusionConcomitant abdominoplasty and breast surgery carries a complication profile comparable to abdominoplasty alone but elevated relative to breast surgery alone. These findings suggest that combined procedures are generally safe in carefully selected patients.
