Six Pack Surgery: Symptoms, Classification, Diagnosis & Recovery

Abdominal etching is a liposuction technique that shapes and improves the look of your waistline as well as produces six-pack abs. Although abdominal etching is generally done as outpatient surgery, it does need some recovery time. It is also essential to ensure that your treatment is performed by a qualified and licensed practitioner with abdominal etching experience.

The procedure is done under either local or general anesthesia (as per the doctors advice). A unique tumescent liposuction method is used for abdominal etching. Fatty tissue beneath the skin is removed and sculpted throughout the treatment. The patient's flexed abs are meticulously marked before the operation. Small incisions are created inside the natural curves of the abdomen during the procedure.

Postoperative complications and risks-

There are several postoperative complications and risks such as

  • Damage to the nerves and blood vessels

  • Discoloration of the skin

  • Skin that is rough or that heals irregularly

  • Swelling

  • The collection of fluid

  • Bruises or headaches as a result of anesthetic

Follow-up care-

Post wearing off of the anesthetic, you must wear the compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks, or until your doctor says it's okay to take it off. 2 weeks following abdominal etching, you should be ready to resume most of your usual activities. Do not undertake any vigorous activity until your doctor says it is okay. Crunches and planks are examples of exercises that engage the ab muscles and must be avoided till the physicians go ahead.
