With the growing popularity of gastric bypass surgery to treat morbid obesity, postbariatric body contouring has become a focus of the plastic surgery community. Previously, many plastic surgeons would not perform body-contouring procedures after gastric bypass surgeries because of the high complication rates. However, newly developed or improved surgical techniques make the procedure safer and are definitely increasing its popularity.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), over 100,000 body-contouring procedures were performed in 2005. Massive weight loss patients accounted for over 50,000 of those procedures and continue to drive the growth of body-contouring surgery. Body contouring after gastric bypass surgery is safe and can be performed with significantly fewer complications than previously thought.

For most severely obese people, bariatric surgery is not aesthetic, it's life saving.
