Abdominal Etching
Liposuction can remove excess fat from the midsection, but alone cannot produce muscular definition. Abdominoplasty can firm and tighten stomach muscles but, as with liposuction, will not necessarily accentuate the appearance of core muscles. Even with strenuous core exercises following another form of body sculpting, achieving six-pack abs is often just shy of impossible.
Abdominal etching goes beyond liposuction, tummy tuck surgery, and strenuous exercise to produce a highly defined midsection. With this advanced liposculpting technique, Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Vasdev Rai can produce a dramatic transformation of the abdominal area, helping you achieve a toned midsection that begs to be shown off.
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your stomach muscles, please contact the Cosmetic Surgical Center to schedule your Dallas abdominal etching consultation.
Sculpting Your Abdominal Muscles
To properly sculpt your abs, Dr. Rai will place nick incisions and insert small liposuction cannulas. Through these strategically placed incisions, our Dallas abdominal etching surgeon will carefully remove the fatty layer over and around your core muscles.
Following initial sculpting, muscle segments are individually defined through another layer of superficial fat removal. When appropriate, Dr. Rai will also liposculpt the waistline and other abdominal areas to ensure optimal muscular shape is revealed.
For a complete upper body transformation, this procedure may be combined with pectoral etching. What will most enhance your frame can be discussed during your initial consultation with our Dallas plastic surgeon.
Abdominal etching is performed in our accredited Dallas plastic surgical suite under general anesthesia and take around two hours to complete. Exercise can generally resume within three weeks, but final results may take up to six months to be completely obvious. Dr. Rai will work closely with you following your abdominal etching to ensure proper healing.
