Objectives: The aim of this work is to evaluate the different modalities of post-bariatric breast reshaping in females and their aesthetic outcomes and rate of complications.Background: The post-bariatric breast is a real problem after massive weight loss especially in females. Different modalities for the reshaping of post-bariatric breast were used. Patients and Methods:This a prospective cohort study statistical technique, descriptive statistics as numbers and percentages were used, conducted over 20 post-bariatric breast patients requesting breast contouring in the period from January 2016 to January 2019. Operations were done in Menoufia University and Railways Hospitals. Patient's age ranged from 21-49 years. A total of 20 procedures were performed; reduction mammoplasty in 5 patients, auto augmentation in 8 patients, augmentation mastopexy in 5 patients, and implant augmentation in 2 patients.Results: Patient's satisfaction was measured by aesthetic rating scale as follow; 1-Very satisfied, 2-Satisfied, 3-Fair, and 4-Dissatisfied regarding improvement in size, shape, and quality of scar. 14 patients were very satisfied (70%), 4 patients were satisfied (20%), and 2 patients were fairly satisfied (10%). And out of the 20 patients, the overall complication rate was 30%.Conclusion: Breast auto augmentation for breast reshaping in post bariatric patients is an ideal and long life technique comparable to other techniques used to address this issue.
