Abstract
Background: The number of patients with obesity is rising, along with the desire for bariatric and postbariatric surgery. Applying a single surgical technique to all patients is challenging due to the body deformities that result from massive weight loss and the variety in body shape.
Methods: Due to the large number of postbariatric patients who wish to have body contouring surgery, the Catharina Hospital in Eindhoven has been perfecting its techniques for years.
Results: This article describes standardized preoperative markings and techniques of the fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty, lower body lift, inner thigh lift, and brachioplasty.
Conclusions: This article offers an overview of standardized techniques for body contouring surgery. These techniques save time and help to teach residents and colleagues.
