BACKGROUND: "Postbariatric" @entity1 are at significant risk for @entity260 . This study aimed to define the risk of @entity1211 following body-contouring surgery after massive @entity353 . METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on all @entity1 who had undergone all forms of body-contouring procedures after massive @entity353 between January 2005 and August 2012 at St George's Hospital, South West London, United Kingdom. Data were collected on @entity1 demographics, comorbidities, risks factors for @entity1031 , preoperative and postoperative body mass index, and type of surgery. RESULTS: A total of 135 operations were performed on 53 @entity1 (43 females, 10 male), with an average age of 44.8 years (range, 26-56 years). Most had staged procedures including 55 abdominoplasties, 23 brachioplasties, 31 thigh lifts, 14 lower-body lifts, and 12 mastopexies. All @entity1 received @entity1211 prophylaxis postoperatively including low-molecular-weight heparin ( @entity16960 ) within an average of 22.5 hours after surgery and the application of intraoperative graduated compression stockings. @entity1 received @entity16960 for an average of 4 days (range, 2-14 days), which correlated to their length of stay. One @entity1 had a @entity1150 14 days postoperatively and then 2 days later developed a nonfatal @entity358 , giving a @entity1211 prevalence of 0.74% (1/135). CONCLUSIONS: The clinically apparent @entity1211 prevalence was low among @entity1 undergoing body-contouring procedures after massive @entity353 in this study. We provide evidence of a successful algorithm to prevent @entity1211 for @entity1 undergoing body-contouring procedures after massive @entity353 .
