Abstract：In recent years,the incidence of obesity has been on the rise.Bariatric surgery is widely recognized as a safe and effec-tive method for treating obesity.In the short term following bariatric surgery,a significant reduction in body weight can be achieved,but this is often accompanied by excess skin and soft tissue,which not only affects appearance but also impairs daily activities.Skin diseases are more likely to occur in areas with skin folds.Abdominoplasty is one of the most commonly performed body contouring procedures for post-bariatric surgery patients.This article summarizes the characteristics of abdominal wall deformities following bariatric surgery and re-views the anatomical basis and current surgical treatment methods for abdominal contouring after bariatric surgery.
