Outcome of Multiple Combined Post-bariatric Surgery in Massive Weight Loss Patients.
Article 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
introductionThe growing popularity of bariatric surgery has resulted in a rising demand for body contouring procedures to address excess skin and reshape the body after massive weight loss (MWL). Performing multiple procedures in a single operative session may shorten the overall recovery period and enhance patient satisfaction. The aim of this study was to present our outcomes with combined body contouring procedures in post-MWL patients, evaluate long-term aesthetic results, and compare our findings with outcomes reported in the literature. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 75 patients who experienced significant weight loss underwent multiple combined body contouring surgery from May 2018-May 2024. Each patient received two or three procedures as a single stage. The surgical interventions included lower trunk lift with or without gluteal autoaugmentation, upper trunk lift (brachioplasty combined with mastopexy or gynecomastia correction), and thigh lift. Patient satisfaction was assessed six months postoperatively using a structured questionnaire.
resultsPatients ranged in age from 17 to 58 years, with a mean age of 32 years. The overall complication rate was low: minor wound dehiscence occurred in 9.33% of cases (n=7), seroma formation in 8% (n=6), wound infection in 5.33% (n=4), and hematoma in 2.66% (n=2), the latter requiring readmission. No operative time exceeded 4.5 hours. Patient-reported satisfaction with aesthetic outcomes was high across all domains assessed.
conclusionPatient satisfaction with multiple combined body contouring procedures following MWL was good/excellent. Performing these surgeries in a single stage proved to be efficient and well-tolerated. Successful outcomes require careful patient selection, detailed surgical planning, and seamless multidisciplinary collaboration to minimize complications and optimize recovery.
