Background. Only some studies provide sufficient data regarding the effects of nonpostbariatric (aesthetic) abdominoplasty on various aspects of quality of life. Nevertheless, when considering the effects on eating habits, publications are lacking. Therefore we decided to assess the effects of nonpostbariatric abdominoplasty on @entity1277 symptoms, @entity458 , and quality of life. Materials and Methods. 64 consecutive @entity1 underwent nonpostbariatric abdominoplasty. Three outcome measures were completed: the @entity1277 Inventory (EDI), Raitasalo's modification of the Beck Depression Inventory (RBDI), and the 15D general quality of life questionnaire. Results. The mean age at baseline was 42 years and the mean body mass index (BMI) 26.4. Fifty-three (83%) @entity1 completed all the outcome measures with a mean follow-up time of 5 months. A significant improvement from baseline to follow-up was noted in @entity1 's overall quality of life, body satisfaction, effectiveness, sexual functioning, and self-esteem. The @entity1 were significantly less @entity308 and had significantly less drive for thinness as well as @entity6426 , and their overall risk of developing an @entity1277 also decreased significantly. Conclusions. Abdominoplasty results in significantly improved quality of life, body satisfaction, effectiveness, sexual functioning, self-esteem, and mental health. The risk of developing an @entity1277 is decreased significantly. This trial is registered with Clinicaltrials.gov NCT02151799.
