Abdominal etching defines the muscles that give men the “washboard” abs or “six pack” stomach. Liposculpture is the term for the procedure that creates subtle ripples in the abdominal area by accentuating the underlying abdominal muscles. Fat also is suctioned from specific areas through a small hollow tube inserted through one or more tiny incisions. The incisions are hidden in the natural creases of the body and leave very small scars.
A typical male waist that is 36-40 inches around can be safely reduced to 28-32 inches with this procedure. However; this procedure is not a substitute for a weight loss program. The ideal candidates are those who are not extremely overweight, but just have isolated pockets of fat within the waist and abdomen.
