چکیده

I reviewed this book with interest, which I found invaluable in many aspects. This book falls in 214 pages and divided into 11 chapters, and has a good hard paper cover. The book starts with a brief description of the most common bariatric surgical procedure, which is well illustrated to provide vast information on these procedures. It guides the reader through the aftermath of the bariatric surgery, describing the assessment process of post bariatric surgery patient, post-operative body changes, describing all body region changes, how they are assessed, and how the body contouring is timeplanned. Each chapter has been dedicated to a body region, and each chapter has adequate information, and well-organized preand post-operative illustrations. This book covers most of the post bariatric surgery body contouring known in plastic and re-constructive surgery. The book is well-organized, well-illustrated, wellindexed, and considered an invaluable addition in the field of post weight loss body contouring surgery. It has a simple language which made this book well addressed to medical student, surgical trainee and advanced practice surgeon. I, therefore highly recommend this book to all those interested in the field of patient weight loss surgery.
