At Washingtonian Plastic Surgery in Chevy Chase, Maryland, we offer advanced abdominal etching for patients who want a more defined, sculpted midsection. This specialized liposuction technique enhances the natural lines of the abdomen, creating the look of a toned and chiseled “six-pack” without requiring countless hours at the gym.
What Is Abdominal Etching?
Abdominal etching is a highly precise form of liposuction that removes fat from both the superficial and deep layers of the abdominal area. By strategically sculpting around the natural muscle lines, the procedure highlights definition and contour, giving patients a naturally athletic appearance.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Abdominal etching is best suited for men and women who are already close to their ideal body weight but struggle with stubborn fat deposits that hide muscle tone. Many of our Chevy Chase and Bethesda patients choose this procedure when diet and exercise alone aren’t enough to achieve their desired look.
You may be a candidate if you:
- Have good skin elasticity
- Want to enhance muscle definition in the abdomen
- Recovery After Abdominal Etching
Following the procedure, patients wear a compression garment for about three to six weeks to reduce swelling and support healing. Mild bruising and discomfort are common in the first few days, but these typically improve quickly. Most individuals can return to light activities within a few days, while heavy lifting and strenuous workouts should be avoided for at least three weeks.
Why Choose Washingtonian Plastic Surgery?
