Hi, H am planning to have liposuction to the abdomen area. I want to have Abdominal Etching. Some surgeons say this will be included as part of a Vaser and HD/Power liposuction procedure. One doctor is telling me that the etching would incur a higher cost as a distinct process, to standard + vaser/power lipo, Is this correct?

In your case, abdominal etching would be possible and would yield good results, combined with a 360 liposculpture to improve the back and abdominal area together.”
If you are looking to define your abdominal muscles more, abdominal etching is certainly a reasonable option for you. You wouldn't need much, and if you do too much it tends to look a little masculine, but some mild etching would look great on you.
Ideally would need to see a preop photo, and better current photos more than just one angle to really give you a true opinion (without an in person exam) - but the lower etching seems to follow the lower V cut line (internal obliques) - I'm unsure what you looked preop to versus now. So its hard...
