Abdominal etching, also known as six pack abs surgery or ab sculpting, is a specialised liposuction technique that enhances the natural muscle definition of your abdomen. However, not everyone is an ideal candidate for this procedure. The success of abdominal etching depends on several physical, medical, and lifestyle factors that Dr. Neel Gupta carefully evaluates during your consultation at NG Plastic Surgery Centre.

This precision technique demands careful patient selection to achieve optimal results while maintaining patient safety.
