BMI and Revision Surgery for Abdominoplasties: Complication Definitions Revisited Using the Clavien-Dindo Classification.

Unlabelled: After body contouring surgery of the lower trunk (CSLT), the definition, rate (4%-70%), and documentation of complications vary.

Objectives: We analyzed the effect of risk factors on the outcome based on the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) after CSLT surgery and polled postoperative satisfaction among patients.

Methods: All patients undergoing CSLT from 2001 to 2016 were included and were classified according to the CDC for postoperative events.
