What is the usual downtime for abdominal etching ?

hello dr scarYour plastic surgeon would usually give details on your recovery period and activities yo can take part in. #recovery #result

I appreciate your question.

Vaser assisted liposuction utilizes ultrasound to emulsify or melt felt prior to removal. It is also used to etch or define the muscles and normal anatomy to enhance the results. I use a specialized technique to remove the deeper fat areas and sculpt the superficial fat, so that one can achieve the goal of having not only a flatter stomach but also a more defined and curvaceous body if wanted. I can use this technique on the arms as well.

I also use the fat removed to graft into the pecs for men or breasts for women as well as into the arms and other areas to further enhance muscle definition.

The best candidates for the procedure already have a good muscular base.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery and high definition body contouring.

 

Best of luck!

In my practice i have patients wear double compression for 4 weeks 24/7 for ab sculpting, especially since most of my patients are getting chest, arms, shoulders and stomach/back/flanks done all at the same time. we have everyone do lymphatic massage, hyperbaric oxygen and radiofrequency treatments to ensure best results and quick healing.  this is not traditional liposuction and cannot be performed by just anyone .  do not be fooled by people claiming to do this, make sure you go to an expert who is hi def VASER trained and does this frequenly..  Best, Dr. Emer.
