Abdominal Etching
Abdominal etching, more commonly referred to as the rippled or washboard look, is a liposuction procedure designed to give patients a new abdomen and waist contour. Men find this procedure especially helpful in defining the subtle abdominal muscles producing the six-pack muscle ripples so popular today. We are proud to say that physicians at The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery originated and developed this specialized technique and have led the nation in performing these cases receiving national and international recognition for their efforts.
The procedure involves liposculpture which creates subtle ripples in the abdominal area allowing the underlying abdominal muscles to show greater detail. Fat is selectively removed through a small hollow tube inserted through one or more tiny incisions. Most incisions are hidden in the natural body creases of the body leaving very small scars.
For males a typical 36-40 inch waist can be safely reduced to 28-32 inches. For those patients who exercise on a regular basis or with excellent skin tone, a better defined washboard stomach can be obtained in just a few hours. This is not a substitute for weight loss and the best candidates are of relatively normal weight with isolated pockets of fat.
