Abdominal Etching In Atlanta

Introduction

Abdominal Etching

A toned 6-pack is a cornerstone of aesthetics for a midsection. It turns heads, looks sexy, and keeps your body feeling toned and strong. Not to mention, it takes beach days to the next level when it comes to individual confidence. It’s not always easy to achieve the coveted 6-pack. For some, relentless exercise and diet still don’t do the trick. At Dr. Lissa Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA, we are proud to offer a solution to achieving the abs of your dreams. We do this with a popular process called Abdominal Etching, a cosmetic procedure that is designed to enhance the appearance of your abdominal muscles. It is also known as “six-pack liposculpture” or “laser sculpting,” as it involves the removal of excess fat from specific areas of the abdomen to reveal underlying muscle definition. If you have a stubborn layer of fat that you’re struggling to get rid of, Abdominal Etching may benefit you, helping to open a door to possibilities you thought were unattainable.

What is Abdominal Etching?

Abdominal Etching in Atlanta uses liposuction techniques to remove small pockets of fat from the abdominal area. We may also use a laser to help contour and define the underlying muscle tissues. The goal is to create more defined, and prominent abdominal muscles, especially the rectus abdominis muscle, which is commonly known as the “6-pack”.The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis and may require several weeks of recovery time.

It’s important to note that Abdominal Etching is not a weight loss procedure. While sculpted, 6-pack abs are possible, patients who already have muscle tone will see the greatest benefit from this form of strategic fat removal.

What to Expect on the Day of Abdominal Etching

On the day of your appointment at Dr. Lissa Plastic Surgery, you’ll be welcomed with confidence and reassurance that you’re taking a positive step toward enhancing your life. The procedure begins with Dr. Lissa carefully marking the abdominal area to identify the areas where excess fat needs to be removed and to define the “six-pack” muscle groups. Once the treatment site is numbed with local anesthesia, a small incision will be made to allow for the insertion of a small cannula. Smartlipo technology is used to deliver laser energy to liquefy the fat in the marked areas, making it easier to remove through suctioning. This process allows for precise control of the degree of etching on the stomach, resulting in enhanced muscle definition. Dr. Lissa uses her expertise to contour the abdominal area to create a more toned and defined appearance. Once the contouring is complete, we will supply post-operative instructions, it is crucial for a speedy recovery and optimal healing after abdominal etching.

Abdominal Etching Recovery

Your recovery is our own, and we aim to be the bridge to the best results. After the procedure, you’ll be provided with a compression garment that should be worn as often as possible to help the incisions heal and to encourage the skin to retract and conform to your new body contour. Within a few days, most patients are able to resume their daily activities, and after 6-8 weeks, they can return to workouts or more strenuous activities.
