In order to investigate the effect of leaving a thinner or slightly thicker layer intact during a tummy tuck, patients who are already planning to undergo the surgery, and who agree to participate, will be randomly assigned to two groups in a manner similar to flipping a coin. The first group will have their abdominoplasty performed with a thinner layer of abdominal wall left in place while the second group will have the surgery with a slightly thicker layer left in place. Both methods of doing a tummy tuck meet acceptable standards of care, and the aesthetic outcomes will not be negatively impacted by either of the options.
