Abstract
Abdominoplasty is one of the most common procedures performed in plastic surgery. The authors discuss the history of abdominoplasty, anatom, surgical technique, and possible complications. “SMILE” plication is a new technique of plication of the abdominal flap with good waist improvement without intra-abdominal pressure compromise or respiratory function compromise. The technique has a very short learning curve.
