Tech/Engineering - Medical (general) / Plastic/cosmetic surgery
Italian term or phrase: continua ricerca della raffinatezza
I suppose this isn't strictly a medical question, since it concerns the aesthetic aspects of cosmetic surgery.

This is a text from the website of a plastic surgeon, from the section on abdominoplasty.
I'm struggling with finding an elegant wording for the part in asterisks - I'm probably going to refer to the abdomen earlier in the sentence.
Many thanks in advance!
