Would I be a candidate for abdominal etching? 5’ 5” 105 lbs. (photo)

Thank you for your inquiry regarding your suitability for abdominal etching. Based on the details you've provided, I believe you would be an ideal candidate for Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction, which can achieve the desired abdominal etching results.

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take three hours or more. Here's a brief overview of the procedure:

Tumescent Solution Application: Initially, a tumescent solution is applied, which creates an aquatic medium. This minimizes bleeding and optimizes the application of the Vaser's ultrasonic frequency.

Fat Liquefaction: During the next stage, cannulas are inserted, and the fat is liquefied using ultrasound technology. This process not only removes fat but also helps tighten the skin over the underlying muscles.

Fat Sculpting: In the third stage, the fat is meticulously sculpted to accentuate and define the underlying muscles, giving the etched appearance.

Depending on the amount of fat removed, drains might be used postoperatively. Additionally, you'll need to wear a compression garment to facilitate healing and reduce swelling. Post-operative lymphatic massages will be essential to further enhance results and minimize complications.

Please note that the results from this procedure are usually permanent, as long as there isn't significant weight gain. You can expect to see the final results approximately 12 weeks after the procedure.

Thank you for considering abdominal etching. If you have further questions, feel free to reach out. Take care.

Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Based on the info from the photo, you appear to be a great candidate for etching. There is minimal fat to start and good appearing skin tone. As always, be sure to research who is doing your procedure to increase the chances of getting a desirable result.

I think you are a good candidate for Abdominal etching. A good candidate is a person with fair amount of fat and good skin elasticity.  The photo is kind of limited but from what I can see, you have fair amount of fat and you skin seems like to have good elasticity. You next step is to have a proper consultation.
