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.
