What is Six Pack Surgery? (Abdominal Etching)
Six Pack Surgery, commonly referred to as Abdominal Etching, is a specialized form of liposuction designed to accentuate the abdominal muscles and create a more defined appearance. While regular liposuction focuses on removing larger quantities of fat, Abdominal Etching is all about precision. The goal is to reveal the natural contours of the patient’s abs, giving the illusion of a well-toned and sculpted midsection.

Why is Abdominal Fat so Difficult to Eliminate?
Abdominal fat is extremely resistant to traditional weight loss methods, but it is not impossible to eliminate. Determining the underlying cause behind its accumulation is the first step to dealing with it. Bear in mind: despite bad marketing, fat is not bad under healthy levels. Here are some reasons of the main reasons for abdominal fat accumulation:
Evolution: abdominal fat evolved as a way to survive in times of scarcity, because the abdomen is an optimal fat storage area, allowing to also protect vital organs: the stomach, pancreas and liver.
Biology: the abdominal area contains a higher concentration of fat cells compared to other parts of the body, making it more prone to storing excess fat.
Genetics: Some people may be predisposed to storing fat in their abdominal area, making it more difficult to eliminate.
Hormones: Cortisol and insulin can influence the accumulation of abdominal fat. This can be determined, diagnosed and treated.
Age: Metabolism slows down with aging, making it more difficult to burn fat. Additionally, hormonal changes that occur with age can lead to an increase in abdominal fat.
Lifestyle factors: Poor diet, lack of exercise, and high stress levels can all contribute to an increase in abdominal fat.
