Communicating and implementing a weight management program for dogs and cats can be a challenging endeavor for veterinarians, but a rewarding one. An effective individualized weight loss program provides a consistent and healthy rate of weight loss to reduce risk of disease, prevent malnutrition, and improve quality of life. Weight loss is achieved with appropriate caloric restriction, diet selection, exercise, and strategies to help modify behavior of both the pet and client. This document offers guidelines and tools for the management of weight loss and long-term maintenance of healthy weight.

Prior weight loss by surgical means is another predisposing factor for postoperative complications following body contouring. This study aims to examine these previously identified variables, and several others, in the context of a spectrum of abdominal body contouring techniques following bariatric surgery.

Background: Obesity is a growing global epidemic, with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists emerging as effective pharmacological solutions for weight loss. However, these medications raise concerns in the context of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery due to their effects on wound healing, adipose tissue metabolism, and their potential impact on surgical outcomes.
Objective: To report two cases of delayed wound healing and fat necrosis in patients undergoing breast surgery while receiving GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight management.
