CONVENIENTLY LOCATED TO SERVE FRISCO, DALLAS, & PLANO.

A well-defined six-pack gives a man that undeniably athletic look and a boost in confidence. At Sculpt Men’s Center, we offer Male Abdominal Etching, a cosmetic procedure that utilizes hi-definition liposuction to sculpt a more defined six-pack. This procedure is ideal for men who have been frustrated in achieving their desired definition, even with dedicated diet and exercise.

What is abdominal etching?

Abdominal etching sculpts a more defined six-pack. This cosmetic procedure uses a special type of liposuction called hi-definition liposuction. It specifically targets the fat deposits between your abdominal muscles, revealing your existing muscle definition and creating a more sculpted look.

Think of it like this: abdominal etching removes the “hiding blanket” of fat, allowing your natural muscle lines to shine through.

Who is a candidate for abdominal etching?

Good candidates for abdominal etching and hi-definition liposuction are the 99.9% of us who aren’t blessed with a steady 3% body fat. Even for the most dedicated men, a well-defined six-pack is hard to achieve because fat that accumulates around the midsection and chest is highly resistant to diet and exercise. Inevitably genetics and eventually age makes it more and more difficult to maintain a trim, well-defined appearance. At some point, long hours at the gym and meticulous control of your diet wont cut it and the only way to eliminate the fat and reclaim your physique is to physically remove the fat. So, if you have been frustrated in achieving the definition you’re after, abdominal etching is the perfect way to address those problem areas full of stubborn fat or as the final touch for that most difficult to lose last bit of excess, creating a confident, lean and muscular look.

Will abdominal etching create a fake six-pack?

No, true abdominal etching and hi-definition liposuction will bring out and highlight your natural abdominal muscles. The goal is to emphasize the muscles you have and allow even more improved definition through continued diet and exercise. The abdominal etching we do should not be confused with a similar procedure, sometimes referred to by the same name, where the shape of a six-pack is “etched” out and the look of muscles is created with fat.

What can I expect during the consultation?

During the consultation, your medical history and any previous surgeries will be reviewed to ensure you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. Your aesthetic goals will be discussed to understand and align with your expectations. This is followed by a physical examination of your abdominal area to evaluate skin quality, muscle tone, and fat distribution. The procedure details, including the use of anesthesia and the expected recovery process, will be explained.

How is abdominal etching done?

Treatment planning begins with an in-depth consultation to evaluate your individual fitness level, body type, and goals. In line with the patient’s goals, the body areas are mapped out for a three-step process: 1) VASER liposuction to loosen up and break down both the deep and surface layers of fat, 2) fat removal by power assisted liposuction, and 3) etching to highlight the surrounding contours and muscle edges. This process gets rid of unwanted fat and creates sharp definition to provide a distinctly trim, masculine look.

How long does the abdominal etching procedure take?

The duration of the abdominal etching procedure typically ranges from one to two hours, depending on the extent of fat removal and sculpting required to achieve the desired results. It can take longer if there are combination procedures performed.

Is the recovery from abdominal etching different from traditional male liposuction?

Since abdominal etching is a specialized form of male liposuction the recovery process is similar. Most patients describe the post-procedure sensation as soreness similar to the day after going through a real strenuous workout. Maintaining the high-definition and sculpted look from abdominal etching during recovery is very important, therefore adherence to the aftercare routines and activity restrictions designed to minimize swelling is critical.

Can other procedures be done at the same time as abdominal etching?

Abdominal etching can be performed alone, but is often combined with other male chest and body procedures including pectoral implants, gynecomastia excision, male liposuction and male tummy tuck.
