In the course of time, the abdomen has come to be considered an important representation of a man’s body. Films, competitions and TV programs have reinforced the concept.

Most men exercise their bodies to shape them and give them a form which fits their tastes and needs. The abdomen is the most difficult area to work on, requiring both a balanced diet and an abdominal exercise routine, usually resulting in “washboard abs,” which every man would like to have and every woman would like to enjoy.

For some people who would like to improve their abdomen, eating properly and spending hours in a gym are not an option. Due to genetic conditions, having a flat abdomen can only be a dream which will never come true.

Fortunately, Abdominal Etching Surgery is available. This is a technique utilizing liposuction, by which fat is removed from the abdomen and the muscles are sculpted, resulting in a natural look, obtained in less than an hour.

Abdominal Etching will leave you with a flat abdomen and will also give you the self-confidence resulting from possession of a good looking body.

If you are considering having this operation, it is important to clarify that this is no substitute for losing weight, but rather a remedy for correcting that which cannot be achieved through exercise.

The ideal candidate for Abdominal Etching Surgery is a person who has failed to obtain a flat, well-formed abdomen through dieting and exercise.

The candidate must be in a good state of physical health and must have firm, elastic skin. Above all, the candidate must be prepared to adopt good habits of eating and exercising. Failure to do this may result in unwanted changes in your abdomen.

This surgery lasts 45 to 60 minutes.

After applying anesthesia, the Plastic Surgeon proceeds to remove fat from the abdomen using Liposuction. First, a small incision is made through which the laser is introduced. Then the laser is manipulated in such a way as to eliminate all the fat in the area.

Having removed the fat, he begins the etching, outlining the muscles with the help of fiber optics. Finally, the area is sutured and covered with bandages or an abdominal binder.

Before undergoing an Abdominal Etching, it will be necessary to arrange an evaluation session with your Plastic Surgeon. At this time, the doctor will go over your medical history and will evaluate the overall condition of your body and the firmness of your skin. He will also explain every step of the method he will use. In this manner, you and your surgeon will discuss options in order to reach an agreement on what is best for you.

Previous to your surgery, it is necessary for you to know which foods, drinks and medications to avoid before and after your operation. This will spare you from any complications during your recuperation.

Every step should be clear to assure your satisfaction with the final result. Have no fear to approach your doctor and to voice your uncertainties. He will resolve your every doubt. Remember that knowledge of every aspect of your surgery will result in the satisfaction of obtaining the flat abdomen which you deserve.

While few risks are likely to present themselves with this kind of plastic Surgery, some could appear. Most of these are internal and external infections in the area. These can be treated with antibiotics prescribed by your plastic surgeon. There is also a possibility that blood clots may form.

It is of great importance to take into account all of the indications made by your doctor. This will increase the probability of rapid recovery.

After surgery, elastic bandages will be applied which will help avoid excessive swelling and will accelerate the process of recovery.

It is necessary to keep the area well hydrated, so we suggest the continuous use of body creams.

The resting period will be determined by your Plastic Surgeon, but after approximately two months, you will be able to resume your routines in the gym. To maintain the results of your Abdominal Etching, it will be necessary to commit yourself to a good diet and regular exercise.
