Grade III and IV obese patients had higher levels of depression than grade II obese patients, lower self-esteem, and lower quality of life. Thus, an important but often overlooked outcome is the assessment of the impact of surgery on mental health. This is an important outcome measure because it can contribute to a patient's concept of overall well-being. Although British Columbia has an edge in managing obesity, psychosocial and behavioral factors can influence postoperative outcomes. According to some authors, mental illness severe enough to require treatment may be a negative predictor of surgical outcome. This review reviews the literature on the impact of liposuction surgery on the psychological functioning of patients with obesity. Most studies have shown that people with obesity, especially those requiring surgery, report significantly worse quality of life. This may be due to impaired physical and psychosocial functioning, discrimination and psychiatric consequences, or it may be due to overweight and associated morbidity. Finally, most research and clinical experience shows that people with obesity who seek surgical treatment for obesity are more likely to have psychological problems, abnormal eating behaviors, and quality of life. Life declines more than the average person, but bariatric surgery can help improve your mental state. Patients, improve the patient's quality of life.
