Abdominal Etching
Differing from a tummy tuck, abdominal etching is strictly the removal of excess fat and skin from the middle section, creating a flatter stomach with more muscle definition.
The Best Candidates
The best candidates for abdominal etching are those with naturally more firm and athletic underlying muscles that can be accentuated with the procedure. It can also be performed in conjunction with liposuction and abdominoplasty procedures, on patients with confined fat deposits that are resistant to exercise, to obtain additional improvements and a more athletic-looking middle section.
