What is abdominal etching?
Six-pack abs can be extremely difficult to achieve. Sometimes specific pockets of fat become resistant to exercise, since even well-conditioned muscles can be hidden by a thin layer of fat. Abdominal etching is a surgery to achieve highly coveted “six-pack” appearance. Liposuction is not recommended for people who suffer from restricted blood flow, diabetes, coronary artery disease or a weak immune system.
The surgeon takes a medical history and performs a physical exam, lab tests and, in some patients, an EKG or Mammogram 30 days prior to surgery. Patients should avoid certain medicines include Aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplement prior to the surgery. They should stop smoking two weeks prior to and post-surgery.
