Abdominal Etching

This is a feature most often desired by men that want more definition to the abdominal area. It is a perfectly reasonable request. I often hear that “No matter how much I work out I still don’t see enough definition”. I understand this complaint and can help you achieve what you want.

Commonly the features I see here consist of excess fat in the abdomen and often in the hips especially on the sides and even in the back adjacent to the spine. The treatment areas may involve only the central abdomen but may be the entire abdomen even up to the chest area. I will coordinate the features of your anatomy with your expectations, formulate a plan with you, and guide you through this. Abdominal definition is created by careful liposuction of the abdomen and there are a number of different techniques and devices that I must apply exactly to your precise anatomic features and to what you see, in order for us to achieve your best possible result in creating definition. Surgery involves a light general anesthetic, performed where I do surgery, which is in a hospital setting. The surgery is safe and predictable. There is some very mild swelling after surgery. There are a few tiny stitches, with return to work in as little as the next day, and to some physical exercise in the first week. The surgical result obtained in abdominal etching relies on the fact that your fat layer, which forms the foundation for your skin, can be comfortably and artistically removed, then your skin shrinks and molds down around your reduced fatty framework. Definition occurs as you exercise and now the reduced fatty layer allows the muscle definition to show through.

I have great expertise in liposuction for creation of definition and have performed many of these operations with never any problems. You can expect very natural results that create a defined, athletic, and very trim look. I spend a great deal of time discussing your anatomy, listening to your expectations, and interpreting for you what your anatomy and tissues will allow me to do in a safe and predictable way. In addition, I consider your body as a whole when I build a system into all body contouring surgeries that, initially, allows you to recover much quicker and, secondly, it serves to preserve your surgical results. This system includes a special diet, special attention to blood clotting, vitamins, supplements, special garments, skin products, physical training and knowing what to avoid. Together, all of this allows me to create results that are consistently very beautiful, quick to heal, exceptionally natural, and with minimal incisions. I am delighted to surgically provide you with such a profound yet natural body image change, and one that has consistently so pleased my patients and changed their lives.
