Abdominal Etching in Reno, Sparks & Hidden Valley, NV Reno NV

Q: How long do abdominal etching results last?

Abdominal etching patients can expect nearly permanent results from their procedure. As long as patients maintain their weight and do not gain weight after the procedure, the results will be long-lasting.

Q: What are the risks of abdominal etching procedures?

Like any surgical procedure, there are risks of bleeding and infection. Contour irregularities can also occur, which is why it is important to schedule your surgery with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience with abdominal etching.

Q: Does fat come back after abdominal etching?

Liposuction permanently removes abdominal fat cells, meaning they cannot come back. However, untreated fat cells can grow which is why it is important to maintain your weight and continue a healthy diet and exercise routine after the procedure.

Q: Does abdominal etching look real?

Abdominal etching can create natural-looking results when done properly. Our board-certified plastic surgeons use the latest surgical techniques and have extensive experience with body contouring procedure, so you can expect great results that enhance your appearance while maintaining a natural look.

Q: Can abdominal etching be done with a tummy tuck?

Abdominal etching is a surgical technique that can be combined with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) for more dramatic results. During the tummy tuck procedure, loose skin and excess fat will be removed and the abdominal muscles will be tightened to give the stomach a smoother, toned look. Abdominal etching can further enhance the contours and definition of the abdominal muscles.

Q: Who is a good candidate for abdominal etching?

The best candidates are at their ideal body weight or close to their weight goals with a BMI.

What is Abdominal Etching?

The best laid plans can sometimes lead to disappointing results. Take your abs, for instance. You can cut carbs, up your cardio, and do crunches ‘til bedtime and still not see the results you’re hoping for.

Abdominal etching, also known as abdominal sculpting, can help solve this problem. Dr. Timothy Janiga brings out the definition in your abdominal muscles, creating a chiseled appearance.

"As a patient of both Dr. Jennifer and Tim Janiga, I have the utmost praise for the care I have received. They are fantastic at what they do. The attention to detail and going "above and beyond" is very much appreciated." - JB

The Abdominal Etching Procedure

Abdominal etching is a specialized liposuction technique, and is perfect for men who already have well-developed abdominal muscles that don’t quite pop despite diet and exercise. Dr. Timothy Janiga makes port size incisions for the cannulas to enter, which minimizes any scars. Unwanted fat is then removed in some areas and thinned out in other areas. Dr. Janiga will then sculpt grooves in the remaining fat to emphasize your natural musculature. This will create that six-pack look. Abdominal etching is an outpatient procedure that takes 1-3 hours.

Recovery & Results

After your abdominal etching procedure, you will have some swelling and bruising in the abdominal area. You will need to wear a compression garment for approximately three to six weeks to reduce swelling. Strenuous activity should be avoided for about six weeks, but most patients can return to work and resume light activities after 1-2 weeks. It takes about two months for you to see the full result of your abdominal etching.
