With the increasing demand for body contouring procedures in the United States over the past 2 decades, more surgeons with diverse specialty training are performing these procedures.

However, little is known regarding the comparative outcomes of these patients.

The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes of body contouring procedures based on the specialty training of the surgeon.

Data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (2005-2015) were reviewed for all body contouring procedures.

Patients were stratified by surgeon training (plastic surgery [PS] vs general surgery [GS]).

Descriptive statistics and regression analyses were used to evaluate differences in outcomes.
