Abstract
Numerous papers and articles have been written about the different techniques of the abdominoplasty procedure and date back to the 1800s. Body sculpting and contouring have been a fascination of many plastic and cosmetic surgeons. With the advent and popularity of the liposuction procedure these days and with a better understanding of skin retraction post-liposuction surgery, many of the previous abdominoplasty procedures are now less invasive. The authors recount the history of esthetic abdominal plastic procedures.
