A six-pack is considered by many as the epitome of fitness. This is also largely due to the media’s portrayal of the ideal body image as one with a chiseled look. However, having a six-pack requires a lot of work and dedication. Though one thing to note is that some may not be able to achieve a six-pack naturally, no matter how much diet and exercise they do. For those individuals, the abdominal etching surgery might be an option. Keep reading to know more about how this six-pack abs surgery is done and who is a good candidate for it.
🏥 What Is Six-Pack Abs Surgery?
The six-pack surgery in Turkey is also referred to as abdominal etching. This is a cosmetic surgery that helps patients achieve a contoured look in the muscles of their abdominal region. This six-pack abs surgery procedure involves the use of liposuction, which helps eliminate the excess fat in the stomach area, which then leaves the patient with sculpted abs. By the end of the procedure, the patient is left with much more defined muscle lines and a chiseled abdominal area.
The surgeon uses a cannula, which is a tube, to eliminate any extra fat from the sides of the abs as well as the upper and lower abs. It also targets the middle section of the abs. Next, the surgeon also works on reshaping the muscles, resulting in the abs becoming more prominent.
📌 One of the main differences between this procedure and the traditional liposuction is that the traditional liposuction procedure eliminates extra fat to improve the contours of the body. On the other hand, abdominal etching focuses on the abdominal region to give a patient more definition and create a “six-pack”.
⚕️ How Does It Work? Step-by-Step
The very first step is always the consultation with the cosmetic surgeon. This step involves a physical body analysis, skin quality analysis, a check of the patient’s existing health, discussions on the patient’s aesthetic goals, and tests for allergies. At times, 3D imaging is also used to provide the patient with potential results so they can have realistic expectations of the procedure’s outcomes.
The surgeon uses general anesthesia to perform this procedure so the patient does not feel anything. Moreover, the surgeon makes the incisions in the abdomen and inserts the cannula to begin suctioning out the excess fat. The cosmetic surgeon carries out the liposuction with immense precision, focusing on the natural lines of the muscles. This helps reveal the natural structure of the muscles, leaving the patient with a more defined abdominal area. The whole procedure only takes about 2 to 3 hours to complete.
After the liposuction, the cosmetic surgeon closes the incisions. The next step is to put a compression garment on the patient. This will help expedite the healing process and control the swelling and bruising. As part of the recovery from the abdominal etching procedure in Turkey, the doctor will prescribe pain medication to help the patient manage their discomfort better. Furthermore, early recovery will take about one to two weeks, after which the patient can return to work. Additionally, the patient will have to avoid any heavy lifting or extreme exercises for about 4 to 6 weeks. They will also have to keep wearing their compression garment to guarantee successful results.
👨⚕️ Who Is the Ideal Candidate for the Abdominal Etching Procedure?
Here are some of the requirements for the best candidate for this six-pack abs surgery:
- For starters, the ideal candidate should be at their ideal weight. It is essential that the candidate does not have a lot of body weight. Having less body fat will ensure the best results.
- Great skin elasticity is essential for good results, as loose skin means that the skin won’t adjust properly to the changes after surgery. Typically, younger individuals have better skin elasticity.
- The candidate should also exercise and follow a healthy lifestyle. Avoiding sugary and unhealthy foods will help the patient heal faster after surgery.
- In addition to being healthy, the best candidate is also one who is a non-smoker. This is because smoking will get in the way of the patient’s healing properly after the surgery.
- Those who do not have any serious health conditions.
📌 It should be noted that the Six Pack Surgery in Turkey is not a weight loss surgery. This procedure is meant to get rid of excess skin and sculpt the belly area to make it more chiseled. It won’t make one slimmer. Its purpose is to improve the contours of the mid-section of one’s body to give the abs more definition when they have already reached their ideal weight.
💪 Male vs. Female Results of Abdominal Etching
There is a massive difference between the male vs. female results of the six-pack abs surgery. The results of abdominal etching for men include a much sharper appearance of a six-pack that is a lot more muscular, resembling that of a bodybuilder. On the other hand, women desire a much subtler appearance of a toned abdominal region. The results for women include giving a more athletic appearance to the mid-section. The focus is still on the natural feminine curves of the body without making the individual too muscular.
