| Body Contouring | |  Abdominal etching is a cosmetic body procedure is usually best used by people who have strong abdominal muscles that may be obscured by a little extra fat overlying the tummy or a bit of sagging skin. Unlike the abdominiplasty or Tummy tuck where muscles may be slightly tightened and some partially removed, abdominal etching aims at the surface area above the muscles, creating a smoother and more muscular look to the abdomen.This procedure has become a rage among the young men in India
The procedure for abdominal etching involves making a few incisions around the umbilicus (Belly button) and the waist line where scarring will be most minimal, and using suction cannulas to scrape out the extra fat. Abdominal etching is an artistic procedure because the abdomen is sculpted to better reveal the muscles. It can be combined with liposuction of other areas like the flanks and the love handles.
Following the procedure patients can be discharged the same day or the following day if liposuction is done on other areas.
The results will be shown only after six weeks to six months Abdominal etching will only work if the patient keeps fit.
