Abdominoplasty procedures are common operations. Plication of the abdominal muscles is important to improve the contour of the abdomen and restore the abdominal domain to its original dimensions. The psychological impact of this physical change can be quite powerful. Frequently the patient returns to exercise with greater energy and zeal, the diet improves significantly, and often reminders of past eating behaviors are placed in the "rear view mirror". It is not uncommon for the patient to develop extremely healthy habits and continue to have significant improvement in health and well being.
