Psychosocial Effects and Appearance Expectations in Women Having Body Shaping After Weight Loss from GLP-1 Compared to After Weight Loss Surgery

Updated

Abstract

Significant improvements in body satisfaction were observed after surgery in patients with GLP-1-induced and post-bariatric weight loss.

  • Patients using GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight loss are increasingly seeking body contouring surgery.
  • Both groups, those with GLP-1-induced weight loss and those post-bariatric surgery, reported enhanced body satisfaction after surgical procedures.
  • The findings suggest that weight loss from different sources may lead to similar psychosocial outcomes post-surgery.
  • Considerations for interpreting these outcomes are important for patient counselling and assessing surgical results.
