BACKGROUND: Massive weight loss can often lead to skin redundancy and affect a patient's quality of life. Abdominoplasty has grown in popularity due to its cosmetic and functional effects. There is currently a paucity in the patient-reported outcome measures literature in low-resource areas. As such, this study aimed to apply the BODY-Q measure to evaluate factors impacting abdominoplasty outcomes in Kenya. METHODS: Patients undergoing abdominoplasty were asked to complete BODY-Q scales before and after surgery. Patient demographics, medical history, and postoperative care were retrospectively collected from patient records. Inference statistics were used to assess predictors of improvement in postsurgical BODY-Q scores and seroma formation. Student RESULTS: Thirty-nine patients underwent abdominoplasty, of whom 38 answered both surveys. Mean age and body mass index (BMI) were 38.30 (±6.35) years and 30.80 (±6.35) kg/m CONCLUSIONS: Kenyan patients seem to be highly satisfied with abdominoplasty procedures, which result in significant improvements in quality of life. Factors significantly associated with higher satisfaction include concurrent liposuction, higher preoperative BMI, and postoperative scar quality.
