What is a 6-pack abdominal etching?
This is a specialized form of liposuction that creates a 6-pack muscle definition. A good candidate is someone with minimal abdominal fat and good muscle tone. It is a one hour procedure that is done under general anesthesia in the hospital. After the procedure, 2 x 7 inch strips of cotton are laid down in carefully outlined areas of the abdomen. The taped cotton dressing is changed after one week and kept there for another week, after which the patient can gradually resume activity. Back to Top Email Dr.
