Safety of body contouring surgery in an aging patient population
Conclusions: When undergoing body contouring procedures, we found that patients over the age of 60 are not at increased risk for postoperative complications than those under that age. Although age as a continuous variable was found to increase the overall postoperative complications, no optimal age could be defined as a cut-off point.PMID:34709107 | DOI:10.1080/2000656X.2021.1990937 (Source: Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery)
