Abdominal VASER Liposuction (Abdominal Etching Technic)

Treatment details: Abdominal VASER Liposuction (Abdominal Etching Technic)

The result of etching depends on how much fat is left, not only on how much is taken. Fat was removed along the midline and the horizontal intersections and feathered into the surrounding areas so the transition is smooth rather than carved. This six month photograph is late enough to show the stable long term result after all swelling and skin retraction have finished. By six months the compression phase is long finished and any residual firmness in the treated planes has resolved, so what is seen here is what the patient keeps provided weight stays stable.

Recovery involves several weeks of swelling and firm, lumpy areas under the skin that soften with massage and time, so the definition seen at six months differs from the early appearance. Numbness of the abdominal skin can last for months. Irregular contours, asymmetry, or lines that look artificial may require correction, and weight gain blurs the shaping. Fluid collection, prolonged induration, and infection are uncommon, while fat embolism and deep vein thrombosis are rare but serious.
