Background:Massive weight loss following bariatric surgery frequently results in significant skin and soft tissue laxity requiring reconstructive intervention. Abdominoplasty represents the most commonly performed procedure in the post-bariatric patient population, addressing both functional and aesthetic concerns.Objective:This comprehensive review examines current approaches to abdominoplasty in post-bariatric patients, including patient selection criteria, surgical techniques, perioperative management, and outcomes assessment while highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary care and proper timing.Methods:A systematic analysis of contemporary literature was conducted, focusing on surgical techniques, classification systems, complication management, and outcome measures for post-bariatric abdominoplasty.Results:Post-bariatric abdominoplasty differs significantly from traditional cosmetic procedures, with higher complication rates (15-40%) but substantial functional and psychological benefits. Modern surgical techniques and improved perioperative management have enhanced patient outcomes and satisfaction rates.Conclusions:Successful abdominoplasty in post-bariatric patients requires specialized expertise, careful patient selection, and comprehensive perioperative management. The procedure offers significant quality of life improvements despite increased complexity and complication risks
