Are there any procedures that can give you an ab crack?

Thank you for your question regarding what to do to achieve an AB crab. What you are desiring is creation of the linea alba. With your body type, this can be achieved with lVASER HI-DEF liposuction. During this procedure,  a small incision is made in the belly button. The scar is completely hidden.  Once the incision is made, tumescent solution is injected from your lower sternum to the top of your belly button. Once the solution has been set in place for about 20-30 minutes, a VASER cannula is inserted. The VASER cannula melts the fat around a rectus abdominal muscle. It also helps to melt the fat in the area and maximize skin contractility.  I think your results will be awesome! And your abdomen will look spectacular! Please consider VASER HI-DEF liposuction to achieve an AB crack or linea alba. Thank you for your question on how to achieve a high definition abdominal wall. 
VASER HI- DEF abdominal sculpting or etching is a technically difficult procedure.  Your plastic surgeon must know his abdominal wall anatomy. When seeking initial or revision VASER HI-DEF abdominal etching, please seek an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon with significant experience performing the VASER HI-DEF procedure.  Not all plastic surgeons own a VASER machine and most plastic surgeons do not perform the VASER HI-DEF procedure. Do your research.  Make sure your selected plastic surgeon has performed at least 100 VASER HI-DEF abdominal etching surgeries and have the before and after pictures to prove it.  Carefully examine their before and after pictures and check their reviews on RealSelf.   If you cannot find an experienced, VASER HI-DEF plastic  surgeon in your neighborhood, consider traveling, if you must. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Hi, thank you for your question. It is difficult to say whether this is the optimal procedure for you without a photo or an in person exam, however, generally speaking, if you are relatively in good shape without excess skin, you will be able to achieve definition. HD Vaser Liposuction may be a great option for you to get the “line down the middle” aka linea alba. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and can go over your options. I hope this helps. Best of luck! 

The term "ab crack" typically refers to a visible separation or defined line between the abdominal muscles, creating the appearance of a vertical line down the center of the abdomen. Achieving a well-defined ab crack is largely influenced by genetics, muscle development, and overall body composition. While there is no specific surgical procedure that creates an "ab crack," certain interventions may contribute to enhancing muscle definition and sculpting the abdominal area:

Abdominal Etching:

Procedure: Abdominal etching is a liposuction-based procedure that selectively removes fat deposits to enhance the visibility of the underlying muscle contours.
Results: Abdominal etching can create the appearance of more defined abdominal muscles, including the rectus abdominis (the muscles that can form an ab crack).
Consideration: Individual results can vary, and the extent of muscle definition depends on factors such as muscle tone and the amount of subcutaneous fat.
Body Contouring Procedures:

Liposuction: Liposuction can be used to target and remove localized fat deposits, contributing to a more sculpted appearance in the abdominal region.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): While a tummy tuck primarily addresses excess skin and muscle laxity, it can also provide a smoother and more toned appearance to the abdominal area.
Diet and Exercise:

Core Strengthening Exercises: Engaging in targeted exercises that strengthen the core muscles, such as planks, crunches, and leg raises, can contribute to overall muscle definition.
Low Body Fat Percentage: Achieving a lower overall body fat percentage through a combination of a balanced diet and regular cardiovascular exercise can enhance the visibility of muscle definition.
Non-Surgical Treatments:

Muscle-Stimulating Devices: Some non-surgical treatments use electrical stimulation to induce muscle contractions, contributing to muscle toning. These are not a substitute for traditional exercise but may complement fitness efforts.
It's important to note that while surgical and non-surgical procedures can enhance the appearance of muscle definition, they are not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a balanced diet. Additionally, individual results can vary based on factors such as genetics and baseline muscle development.

Before considering any cosmetic procedure, it's crucial to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or a qualified healthcare professional. They can assess your anatomy, discuss your goals, and provide personalized recommendations based on your unique situation.

Yes, abdominal etching (or selective liposuction) can create the look you are trying to achieve. As always, be sure to research the surgeon doing your procedure to increase the chances of a favorable result.

you would need female 360 degree HD lipo with Vaser and Renuvion.  You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.

Dear Dani966,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Great questions. The short answer is YES! The best procedure 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). I'd be happy to go over this with you in further detail. Best, Dr Satey, Beverly Hills, Ca.

A high definition lipo could be recommended to you, however the results will depend on the components of your body because everyone is different.

LOL..... never heard it called that! But, Yes! I do it all the time. It's part of my every day liposuction of an abdomen as well a when I do a Tummy Tuck as well as when I create 6-Pack Abs for my patients. It is done with Liposuction. And, since liposuction removes your fat cells and you don't make new fat cells, the results last forever!

Yes, we can definitely create a groove down your abdomen and achieve the same look as Emily Ratajkowski.Abdominal etching is a procedure that is part of a larger group of procedures known as High Definition Liposuction. The premise of these procedures is to enhance the definition of a persons natural musculature, all without having to work out. The key to this surgery is having a surgeon that understands the muscle antomy, as well as understanding how to selectively enhance the different muscle groups in men and women to achieve optimal results. The aesthetic look is different in males and females.
