• Subjects who are medically acceptable candidates for abdominoplasty (BMI approximately 25-35 kg/m2) as determined by per-study laboratory assessment and clinical evaluation.
• Willingness to provide informed consent and to comply with the requirements of this protocol for the full duration of the study.
