Nearly 70% of US adults are overweight or obese (body mass index, BMI a parts per thousand yen 25 kg/m(2)), and more such patients are seeking aesthetic surgery. Previous studies have evaluated surgical risk in obese (BMI a parts per thousand yen 30) or morbidly obese (BMI a parts per thousand yen 40) patients, with mixed results.This study evaluates BMI 25 to 29.9 and BMI a parts per thousand yen 30 as independent risk factors of major complications following aesthetic surgery in a large, prospective, multi-center database.A prospective cohort of patients undergoing aesthetic surgery between 2008 and 2013 was identified from the CosmetAssure database (Birmingham, AL). BMI was evaluated as a risk factor for major complications, defined as complications requiring an emergency room visit, hospital admission, or reoperation within 30 days of the procedure. Multivariate analysis controlled for variables including age, gender, smoking, diabetes, combined procedures, and type of surgical facility.Of the 127,961 patients, 36.2% had BMI a parts per thousand yen 25. Overweight patients were more likely to be male (12.5%), diabetic (3.3%), nonsmokers (92.8%), or have multiple procedures (41%). Complication rate steadily increased with BMI: 1.4% (BMI < 18.5); 1.6% (18.5-24.9); 2.3% (25-29.9); 3.1% (30-39.9); 4.2% (a parts per thousand yen40). Infection (0.8%), venous thromboembolism (VTE, 0.4%), and pulmonary dysfunction (0.2%) were twice as common among overweight patients. Incidence of hematoma was similar in the two groups (0.9%). Complications following abdominoplasty (3.5%), liposuction (0.9%), lower body lift (8.8%), or combined breast and body procedures (4.2%) were significantly higher in overweight patients. On multivariate analysis, being overweight (BMI 25-29.9) or obese (BMI a parts per thousand yen 30) were independent predictors of any complication (Relative Risk, RR 1.17 and 1.51), especially infection (RR 1.63 and 2.73), and VTE (RR 1.67 and 2.56).Overweight (BMI 25-29.9) and obesity (BMI a parts per thousand yen 30) are both independent risk factors for post-operative infection and VTE in aesthetic surgery.
