Medical Procedure: Abdominal Etching

Medical Name: Liposculpture

What to Expect from Abdominal Etching: The abdominal etching procedure not only improves the contour of the waist, but also gives an athletic “washboard” appearance. It is ideal for those who already have underlying muscle tone, and want a more chiseled appearance.

Description of the Abdominal Etching Procedure: The first step is a detailed consultation with your surgeon, who will discuss with you the method he or she will use, your goals and desired end result. After an anesthesia is administered, several incisions are made around the naval or natural creases of the abdomen, where icision lines would be the least visible. Fat deposits are removed with a tube-like instrument called the “cannula.” A different tool, or a variant of the cannula may be used to sculpt the abdomen, creating a more muscular appearance.This procedure is outpatient, which means that the patient can return home the same day.

Good Candidates for Abdominal Etching Surgery: 18 should be the minimum age requirement for this procedure. People who already have underlying muscle tone are ideal candidates for this surgery that enhances muscle definition. People who have undergone liposuction or tummy tuck surgery who desire a more defined and athletic appearance.

Average Duration of Abdominal Etching Surgery: about 1 hour

Estimated Recovery Time: a few weeks. Patients may need to wear a compression garment to better support and keep previously sagging skin from loosening. This garment also reduces swelling, as it compresses the liquids in your body. Strenuous activity and lifting of heavy objects should be avoided during the first couple of weeks following your procedure.

I can return to work within: a few weeks. Normal activities can be resumed a few weeks after the surgery, yet it will take about 6 months to fully see the effects. If your job requires strenuous activity that may affect your blood pressure, it is important that you refrain from them until you have fully recovered.

I should see the complete result of my Abdominal Etching Surgery within: It will take the body about 6 months to fully heal from this procedure. It is important to note that this procedure does not prevent weight gain. If weight is gained, the abdomin may loose the sculpted appearance it acquired after the operation.

Pain Factor: Patients may be under local or general anesthesia during this procedure. Bruising and swelling are to be expected. Wearing a compression garment for the first several weeks will help reduce swelling.

Potential Side Effects/Risks associated with Abdominal Etching Surgery: Allergic reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, unwanted scarring or continuous scarring, infection, nerve injury
