| '''Abdominal etching''', or '''Ab etching''', is a ] procedure invented by ] ] in the early 1990s that uses a special ] to contour and shape abdominal fat pad to provide patients with a flatter ]. The procedure selectively removes a small amount of ] around the patient's natural muscular contours and shapes or sculpts the abdomen to create a more athletic contour.<ref> {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080807031224/http://grande.nal.usda.gov/ibids/index.php?mode2=detail&origin=ibids_references&therow=549218 |date=August 7, 2008 }}</ref> It is very similar to abdominal ]. | |||
| Prior to the procedure, the surgeon makes detailed markings of the patient's flexed ab ]s and uses the markings to remove fat and highlight the patient's individual muscular structure. The procedure is suitable for patients who are already in shape and who have between one and two centimeters of "pinchable belly fat". It is not suitable for patients with larger accumulations of abdominal fat seeking to significantly reduce their belly size or accomplish weight reductions as the amount of fat removed is fairly small. A traditional liposuction is more suitable for those patients.<ref>Jacob Goldstein, , ''Wall Street Journal'', October 30, 2007</ref> | |||
