I’m 30 years old weighing 62kg and very active (weight lifting) I had my breast implants removed 6 months ago and fat transfer to breasts using tickle Lipo. I am looking into a second stage fat transfer as my breasts are tiny. I’m wondering am I a good candidate for abdominal etching (lines). My stomach feels squishy and I have been told that I have very fibrous fat which is difficult to remove. I’m wanting to create a more feminine and athletic shape to my body! How can I achieve this? Thanks
Answer: Am I a good candidate for abdominal etching? (photos) Thanks so much for your question, Determining whether you are a good candidate for abdominal etching involves assessing several factors related to your overall health, fitness level, and expectations. You should be in good general health with no serious medical conditions that could impair healing. A stable weight is important; significant weight fluctuations can affect the results. Good skin elasticity is crucial for achieving optimal results. This helps the skin retract and adhere to the new contours after the procedure. A commitment to maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen is essential to sustain the results. the best way to determine if you are a good candidate for abdominal etching is through a thorough consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. They can provide personalized advice based on your individual anatomy and goals, helping you make an informed decision. Sincerely, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

Answer: Abdominal Etching "Thank you for sharing your pictures and question. Given your active lifestyle and goals, abdominal etching could potentially help you achieve a more defined, athletic appearance. However, the fact that you've had prior liposuction (tickle lipo) may complicate things. You may have reduced fat stores to harvest for a fat transfer to the breast. Plus, previous liposuction can cause internal scar tissue, which can potentially affect the outcome of abdominal etching. As such, a face-to-face consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential. "

Answer: Abdominal Etching Great questions. The short answer is abdominal etching via VASER assisted liposculpting of the abdomen and flanks with Renuvion J plasma vs BodyTite skin tightening. This will bring your underlying abdominal muscles to life and show case your inscriptions (four/six pack muscles) and your vertical lines (linea alba and semilunaris lines). VASER will allow for removal of far more fat (especially fibrous fat, and break down scar tissue from previous lipo). This will also allow for more available fat for either a transfer to the breasts or buttocks. . Best, Dr Satey, Beverly Hills, Ca.

Answer: Abdominal etching VASER hi DEF abs abdominal lipo 6-pack ab surgery ab six pack surgery abdominal lipo for 6 pack muscles Hi Good426378, Thank you for your questions regarding whether you are a good candidate for abdominal etching. Based on your history and your pictures, I think you would be a good candidate for abdominal etching. Abdominal etching is also called VASER high-definition liposuction or body contouring. Typically, I perform abdominal etching or VASER hi-definition abs under general anesthesia. Your abdominal contouring can be taken to the extremes. You could sculpt the three vertical lines to include the two semi lunaris lines as well as the linea alba. The semi-lunaris lines are the lines on the sides of the rectus muscle. What does linea alba lime is thr vertical line in the middle of the rectus muscle. In addition, you could also go for the horizontal transcriptions which of the horizontal lines defining the six pack muscles. You do not necessarily have to have these horizontal lines defined, but it would give you the most athletic abdomen. Also, the fat that is harvested from the abdomen can be used for fat transfer to the breasts. Good luck!! Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Answer: Abdominal etching Hello! Thanks for your question, if you have a previous lipo is more difficult to etch your abdomen, but always is possible, for etching we depend on the fat amount and the skin quality of each patient. I can use ultrasonic lipo for improve the etching and give more retraction to skin. This surgery is accomplished under general anesthesia, and you should stay one night at hospital, and using some special foams for improve the etching process and a compression garment as well. The surgical time is around 2.5 hrs. Recovery time 1 week for back to your daily activities. 3 weeks for back to gym. I hope this info is helpful for you. Don't hesitate to reach me if you have more questions.
