Overview

Six Pack surgery, also known as abdominal etching, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to create the appearance of defined abdominal muscles by shaping the fat in the abdominal area. Excess fat is removed using liposuction techniques, and the natural lines of the abdominal muscles are revealed. This procedure is preferred by men who cannot achieve the desired abdominal muscle appearance through diet and exercise or who want to achieve faster results.
