How is it different from abdominoplasty ?
An abdominoplasty involves removing sagging skin from the abdomen to tighten it and make it firmer.
However, an abdominal etching works only on the surface area above the muscles to create a smoother tummy with indentations. It works best on people with a moderate amount of fat and strong underlying abdominal muscles.
Who can benefit from abdominal etching ?
Men and women with one to two inches of emerging power belly fat and looking for a sculpted abdomen can undergo this procedure. If you have a greater accumulation of belly fat, then it is advisable that you reduce your belly fat first before going in for the procedure.
Individuals who already have well-toned underlying abs may be the best candidates for abdominal etching as it helps emphasize those underlying abs by removing excess fat. Good candidates also include patients who have undergone abdominoplasty or liposuction surgery and want to opt for abdominal etching to achieve a more fit and chiseled appearance.
It is for patients in a good health and wih realistic expectations.
