PY - 2010 T2 - Cosmetic Surgery AB - Abdominal contouring is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures today. In 2008, 121,653 abdominoplasties were performed in the United States. The standard abdominoplasty continues to be the mainstay of midline reshaping for patients with an obvious skin deformity; however, recent advances in liposuction and surgical technique allow for a re-adaptation of the procedure to suit individual needs. Through careful evaluation of skin, fat, and muscle quality, patients can be stratified into different treatment groups, each with a customized surgical plan.
