Six-Pack Abs Plastic Surgery

By Alex in Health on Nov 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.
you unathletic bloggers are hilarious

WELL, TIME TO STRAIGHTEN OUT FEW MORON POSTINGS REAL QUICK. FIRST OFF, THE TYPICAL ABDOMINAL PLASTIC SURGERY PATIENT IS IN ATHLETIC SHAPE. THE MAJORITY OF DOCTOR’S OFFICES WON’T EVEN ACCEPT YOU FOR AB ETCHING OR ANY AB SURGERY IF YOU HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF EXCESS FAT OR ARE NOT PHYSICALLY ACTIVE. THE PHOTOS SHOWN ARE CLEARLY OF SOMEONE NOT IN GOOD SHAPE WITH HARDLY NO MUSCLE DEFINITION THAT GOT AB SURGERY (WHICH LOOKS SURPRISINGLY GREAT CONSIDERING HE HAS A BIRD CHEST AND LITTLE ARMS). THE POINT IS, MOST OF THE BLOG SITES FOR THESE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS DO NOT SHOW STATISTICS ON HOW MANY VERY HEALTHY ATHLETIC PEOPLE WORK OUT THEIR WHOLE ADULT LIVES AND NEVER CAN REACH A 6 PACK EVEN CLOSE TO THE ONE IN THE PICTURES. TINY FAT DEPOSITS COVERING MUCH HARD EARNED AB MUSCLES ARE COVERED IN MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE SLIGHTLY TOO MUCH FAT CELLS COVERING THE MUSCLE DEFINITION. LOOK AT SOME OF THESE MORON’S COMMENTS. “THEY LOOK LIKE FLABS NOT ABS”. AM I THE ONLY PERSON THAT SEES A HOLLYWOOD STOMACH. JUST IN CASE NO ONE WAS PAYING ATTENTION THE MAJORITY OF MODELS, ACTORS, BODYBUILDERS, AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTY AFFICIONADOS HAVE AT SOME POINT SOME TYPE OF PLASTIC SURGERY. ALSO WORTH MENTIONING, IS THE FACT THAT MANY HEALTHY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE THAT HAVE TRIED TO OBTAIN ABS FOR DECADES WILL NEVER ACHIEVE PICTURESQUE RESULTS WITHOUT AB ETCHING, LIPOSCULPTURE, AB IMPLANTS, ETC. THERE ARE NUMEROUS HELATH BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH HAVING EXCESS BODY FAT REMOVED FROM THE WAISTLINE. I’M SURE MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT WRITE NEGATIVELY ON THESE BLOGS DO NOT WORK OUT REGULARLY, EAT STRICT HEALTHY DIETS, NOR HAVE THE MONEY TO EVEN GET ANY TYPE OF PLASTIC SURGERY AND ARE JUST JEALOUS THAT THEY’RE LITTLE FATTIES THAT AREN’T SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE AND NEVER WILL BE REGARDLESS OF LOOKS.
