What Is the Recovery Process After Ab Etching?

Unlike a tummy tuck, ab etching is a minimally invasive procedure, but it does require at least some downtime. After the surgery, you’ll be sent home with compression garments on the treated areas. You will need to take at least a couple of days off work, as well. During the first few days, you should limit your activities. However, most patients can return to normal routines within a few days/weeks. You can resume working out within four to six weeks in most cases.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Silhouetch℠, the Abdominal Etching Surgery?

The ideal candidate for Silhouetch℠ high-definition lipo is in good health and is no more than 20% away from their ideal target weight. Good physical fitness is a plus, as it provides more defined results. Skin with good elasticity will also help showcase your musculature better. Your medical history and any medications, such as blood thinning medications you are currently taking, will need a further in-depth review by our surgeon and medical team.

Do You Need to Work Out Abdominal Muscles Before Surgery?

No, you do not need to work out before you undergo ab etching. However, it’s important to understand that high-definition liposuction highlights your existing muscle, but it does create new ones. Exercise and workouts will ensure you are getting the results possible.

Also, ab etching is not a weight loss solution.

How Long Does Abdominal Etching Last?

Worried that your ab etching will eventually fade? We understand. No one wants to see their new physique disappear. The good news is that ab etching is a permanent procedure. The fat cells removed during high-definition abdominal liposuction will not return. That means you get long-lasting results.

However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle afterward is important to optimize your results and help prevent pre-existing fat cells in other areas from growing. We especially want to prevent deep belly fat called visceral fat from growing. That area is not treatable by liposuction but only by diet and exercise. Therefore, we highly recommend that you follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen after having ab etching surgeries. We can provide you with advice and guidance on creating a diet and workout strategy to begin after your procedure.
