What is abdominal etching?

Abdominal etching (Ab sculpting) is a type of liposuction procedure that claims to sculpt and enhance the appearance of your waistline. Liposuction is the second most popular cosmetic procedure in the United States, with over 250,000 liposuction procedures performed in 2018.

Like traditional liposuction, abdominal etching uses a suction technique to remove fat deposits from underneath your skin. What makes abdominal etching unique are the results that it aims to achieve.

Instead of removing fat from your midsection with the simple goal of a slimmer appearance, ab sculpting removes fat deposits in an advanced and strategic way. This type of liposuction molds and shapes your abdominal wall so that your ab muscles look more prominent.

Ideal candidate for Ab sculpting

As with any surgical procedure, abdominal etching carries a risk of complications. The ideal candidate for abdominal etching is a healthy person who doesn’t smoke, has no life threatening health conditions, and doesn’t have obesity.

Ab sculpting works best for people who are less than 30 percent over their ideal body weight, with healthy muscle and skin tone. Your age and your skin’s elasticity should also be considered when being realistic about the results of abdominal etching.

People who undergo any type of liposuction must be healthy enough to safely go under anesthesia.

Target Areas for Ab Sculpting

Abdominal etching focuses exclusively on the waistline and midsection, primarily targeting the rectus abdominis and obliques through liposuction.

Risks and Side Effects

While abdominal etching is considered a low-risk cosmetic procedure, potential complications and side effects still exist.

Common side effects include:

Nerve and blood vessel damage
Skin discoloration
Uneven or bumpy skin
Swelling
Fluid buildup
Bruising or headaches from anesthesia
