title: [Abdominal plasty and liposuction].
abstract: The changes in the abdomen due to pregnancy, aging and overweight are responsible for functional and aesthetic disorders. Aesthetic surgery is suitable in selected cases. The abdominal plasty procedures can be of long or limited extension depending on the case. Their purposes are to strength the muscle-aponeurose layers, take out the excess of fat and leave the skin with normal tension. These procedures make disappear the stretch marks only within the skin area that is excised. The liposuction has transformed these abdominal plasty procedures by diminishing the length of skin to be resected, and so, reducing the aesthetic disorder.
