Abstract
The abdominal region is characterized as an esthetic functional unit that is relevant to define the body contour. Contour affections from the abdominal wall can cause significant alterations from the esthetic and functional point of view and have negative impact in the quality of life. Between the most frequent causes of contour alteration, we can list obesity, skin and muscle flabbiness, localized lipodystrophy, multiple pregnancies and previous surgeries, and hernias in the abdominal wall [10, 11].
