What is Six-Pack Surgery?
Six-Pack Surgery, medically known as Abdominal Etching represents a specific approach within liposuction procedures. It aims to achieve more prominent abdominal muscles, with well-defined abs and obligues. It is one of the most sought-after cosmetic interventions.
Much like its traditional counterpart, six-pack surgery employs a suction technique to eliminate fat deposits residing beneath the skin. What distinguishes six-pack surgery is the trimmed outcome it seeks to deliver. Unlike conventional liposuction, where the primary objective is a generally slimmer appearance, six-pack surgery takes a more sophisticated approach.
At Cayra Clinic, this specialized liposuction method strategically targets and removes fat deposits. Our board-certified surgeons aim to sculpt and contour the abdominal wall. The ultimate goal is to enhance the visibility and definition of the abdominal muscles. As a result it fosters a more pronounced and toned aesthetics.
For individuals who have tirelessly attempted to attain six-pack abs through diet and exercise, six-pack surgery holds considerable appeal.
It is crucial to note that results can still vary significantly. While some individuals express satisfaction with the results, others do not share the same sentiment. Achieving desired outcomes through six-pack surgery remains a subjective experience, influenced by factors such as individual body response and expectations.

How does Six-Pack Surgery work?
Six-pack surgery is similar to traditional liposuction, with a notable distinction. In six-pack surgery, the cosmetic surgeon delicately carves the abdominal muscles off of excess fat deposits and aim for a more defined outlook. We strategically place small incisions around the belly button to provide increased access.
Precision is important to achieve the natural grooves in your body, making your abdominal muscles more prominent. And this is where decades of expertise comes in of our cosmetic experts. Furthermore, we may remove fat deposits from the sides, overlaying the oblique abdominal muscles, to refine and narrow the midsection. As the swelling diminishes and the area heals, the result is a more visibly toned and sculpted abdomen.
Procedure for Six-Pack Surgery
The surgical procedure typically lasts about an hour and involves several key steps:
- Marking the Target Areas: While standing, your doctor will mark and outline the areas for sculpting and enhancement. Once you and the doctor are satisfied with the planned outcome, the preparation for the operating theatre will commence.
- Anesthesia administration: We will apply a foam dressing, mirroring the earlier markings, to your body. Depending on your doctor’s recommendation, they will administer either general or local anesthesia.
- Incisions and Fat Removal: The doctor will make incisions (ports) to access and extract fat deposits. For this, he will use a scalpel and a cannula pump, keeping the ports open throughout the surgery to facilitate drainage of fat, fluid, and blood
- Closure and Compression Garment: After removing fat deposits, we close and dress the incisions. We then apply a compression garment to your midsection to aid in the healing processThe foam dressing applied earlier remains in place beneath the compression garment.
- Post-Surgery Care: Following your surgery, you will wear the compression garment until about 4 to 6 weeks. This ensures proper healing and optimal results.
Targeted areas for Six-Pack Surgery
