This study will evaluate a new dressing to be used for post-incision care for abdominoplasty patients. The hypothesis is that this dressing will minimize scar formation.
This study will evaluate a new dressing in up to 30 patients who have undergone an abdominoplasty procedure. They will wear the dressing through 8 weeks post surgery and the scar will be evaluated at 3 months post surgery.

Scar Evaluation at End of Treatment Period Comparing Treated to Standard of Care (Control)
Professional photographs were taken 12 months postsurgery and evaluated by lay and professional panels. A 100 point Visual Analog Scale (VAS), ranging from a score of 0 for a better outcome to a score of 100 for worse outcome, will be used to assess both the Treated and Control scars at the same timepoint.
Time frame: through 12 months
