Abdominal Etching - Do they feel real?

raystanz333
Been considering abdominal etching or liposcuplture of some sort to really make my abs POP. What worries me is the following: 1: Do they feel real? Because I know the idea is to shape the fat around the natural muscles, but still...they're fake fat pads that look like abs right? I imagine they feel pretty soft and not hard at all. 2: If you gain weight back (say 10-20 pound) does that fat grow out all gross? If so...then let's say you lose the 20 pounds again; are you back to normal?
