Six-Pack Abs Plastic Surgery

Posted by Alex in Medicine on November 9, 2007 at 3:00 am


Want a six-pack abs but too lazy to do cruches? Well then, do it the American way: with plastic surgery!

The technique, called abdominal etching, is a kind of precision liposuction. The doc sucks out the fat that’s standing between the patient and, if everything goes well, the six-pack.

The suction six-pack costs between $4,000 and $7,000 and is only suitable for certain patients, Aldo Benjamin Guerra, the Arizona plastic surgeon who authored the abstract, told us. "I probably turn down about twice as many patients as I work on," he said. "You have to have a certain amount of fat. If you have too little or too much you’re not going to get the definition."

    Someone's gonna want to touch the six pack, and then they will be disgusted to realize that its very soft. Ugh. Molded fat. nasty.

    What's funny is that the abs are the only thing with any definition (albeit fake). He looks like a 30 year old computer programmer with plastic abs.

    It's quite normal nowadays.
    Good when men are having a six-pack abs done, not buttock implants.

    It shows to the doctor's credit that he turns down potential plastic surgery patients for the right reasons. You can't promise a particular result if you won't be able to achieve it with the patient's body type.

    Kudos to the Dr.

    When will people ever learn that there are no shortcuts... If you spent even half the amount of time actually working your way to a healthier lifestyle rather than trying to think of a way to get there you'd save yourself a lot of cash and from a lot of disappointments, thats for sure.
