Body Contouring & Abdominal Etching

The procedure for abdominal etching involves making a few incisions around the umbilicus (Belly button) and the waist line where scarring will be most minimal and using suction cannulas to scrape out the extra fat. Abdominal etching is an artistic procedure because the abdomen is sculpted to better reveal the muscles. It can be combined with liposuction of other areas like the flanks and the love handles.

Following the procedure patients can be discharged the same day or the following day if liposuction is done on other areas.

The results will be shown only after six weeks to six months. Abdominal etching will only work if the patient keeps fit.

“THE END RESULT OF ABDOMINAL LIPOSUCTION DEPENDS ON THE SCULPTING SKILLS OF THE SURGEON AND NOT ON THE DEVICE USED”

Abdominal liposuction was performed on the patient seen above using the tumescent technique. Excellent results can be achieved with this time tested technique and the results depend not on the device used but on the sculpting skills of the surgeon. Even though diet and exercise can contribute to weight loss, Stubborn fatty deposits such as these can be corrected only with liposuction. Some amount of skin retraction can be expected after the procedure as a result of the healing process.
