Are you looking to achieve a trim, well-toned waistline and abdomen?
Many men and women tend to spend hours in the gym and do rigorous dieting, but fail to achieve a well-toned abdomen. Abdominal etching in NYC is a safe and effective option that helps remove excess abdominal fat and create chiseled abs or a “washboard stomach”. By precisely sculpting the abdominal fat in both the superficial and deeper layers, this liposuction technique provides the natural “six-pack” lines in men and a chiseled but softer look in women.
Performed using minimally-invasive power-assisted liposuction modalities such as VASER Lipo and BodyTite, this procedure helps achieve a well-sculpted body with excellent muscle definition. The procedure removes superficial fat, enhances the underlying musculature and tightens the skin, while leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Abdominal Etching?
Abdominal etching provides optimal results for the right candidate. The best results are seen in patients who exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet, but have “certain resistant areas of fat” that make it difficult to achieve the muscle definition they desire. Other criteria of ideal candidates include –
- Have a moderate amount of abdominal fat and strong underlying muscles
- Have stubborn tummy fat that is resistant to diet and exercise
- In good physical shape and close to their ideal body weight
- Have an athletic build and good skin tone
- Non-smokers
- Do not have any pre-existing medical conditions that could hinder the healing process
How Is the Procedure Performed?
Abdominal etching begins with the plastic surgeon marking the areas to be sculpted and administering local anesthesia to numb these sites. Small incisions are made in the navel or the natural creases of the abdomen to insert the energy-assisted cannula. The laser energy melts the fat so that it can be easily removed. The surgeon will then sculpt the body in a way that the ab muscles look much more prominent. The procedure enhances the underlying musculature and tightens the skin, while leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed. The time taken to complete the procedure depends on the technique used.
Most patients can get back to their normal activities in 24-48 hours. Even though the procedure is minimally-invasive, minor swelling is quite common, which will subside soon. Patients may be recommended to wear compression garment by the plastic surgeon after the surgery. This helps reduce the chances of bleeding, swelling and minimize the chances of fluid accumulation that can occur in the body after surgery. Final results will become visible within six months after the procedure or after the body has completely healed. Following a healthy lifestyle is crucial for maintaining the surgical outcomes.
