Sculpt Sublime- Plastic Surgery Clinic in Mumbai
Six Pack Etching
Everybody dreams of a perfect body. And if you are someone who has a decent shape, having a sculpted look of a Greek statue is the biggest dream. But getting this shape takes a lot of dedication and hard work. It involves hours of training in the gym, multiple types of diets and sometimes even periods of dehydration -especially if you are a model & you are preparing for a shoot or a competition.
Maintaining such a rigorous schedule will definitely take its toll on your body. The repeated cycles of workouts, dieting and dehydration will definitely bring out your sculpted muscles in your abdomen, but the same process will also burn away a good quantity of fat and drain away the moisture from your face too. And when you face the camera you will end up with a good body but a tired and malnourished look on your face. There is also another group of people who despite years of training are not able to reveal their “Six Packs” because of a thicker layer of fat that is adherent to the skin.
Both these category of people are ideal for what is called as the ”SIX PACK” or ABDOMINAL ETCHING PROCEDURE. At Chennai Plastic Surgery, Cosmetic Surgeons have perfected this technique that helps you bring out your perfect physique and at the same time preserve that charm and glow on your face.
Abdominal etching is a body liposculpting procedure that involves liposuction of the regular abdominal fat followed by extensive liposuction of the fat attached to the skin along the lines that would define your abdominal muscles.
People who work out regularly and have a defined core muscle structure with very limited fat or people who have limited abdominal fat and are working on their abs become good candidates for this procedure.
It is a daycare procedure done under General Anesthesia. The first part i.e., the regular liposuction is done using 3mm or 4mm cannulas while the second half that involves liposuction of the skin fat is done using 2mm fine cannulas. The results are visible in just a few weeks unlike regular liposuction that takes a few months.
Similar etching procedures are available for women who want a flat sculpted look of the abdomen. Others areas in the body where etching or liposculpting is done include your arm muscles (triceps), chest, buttock and calves.
FAQs
What is done in plastic surgery?
What is the difference between cosmetic and reconstructive surgery?
Cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve appearance and self-esteem. Cosmetic surgery is usually not covered by health insurance because it is elective.
Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease. In general, reconstructive surgery is performed to improve function, but may also be completed to approximate a normal appearance.
Reconstructive surgery is typically covered by most health insurance policies, although coverage for specific procedures and levels of coverage may vary greatly.
If I have Botox or Restylane, how often would I need to repeat the injections?
Botox lasts about three to four months, and the treatment can be repeated as needed. When it wears off, you will begin to notice increased muscle action and some reformation of the wrinkles. It appears that with repeated use, the effect of Botox becomes longer lasting.
Restylane injections last for about six months, and can also be repeated as needed.
How do I know what size breast implant is right for me?
The decision is based on a number of factors, including the patient’s desires, reasons for the surgery and overall health.
For example, are you doing it because you feel your breasts are too small relative to your body contour or are you unhappy with the size and firmness of your breasts following pregnancy, breastfeeding or major weight loss? Unevenness between the breasts can also be a motivating factor. Your surgeon can help you make the right decision during your pre-surgical appointment(s).
