The procedure involves liposculpture which creates subtle ripples in the abdominal area allowing the underlying abdominal muscles to show greater detail. Fat is selectively removed through a small hollow tube inserted through one or more tiny incisions. Most incisions are hidden in the natural body creases of the body leaving very small scars.

For males a typical 36-40 inch waist can be safely reduced to 28-32 inches. For those patients who exercise on a regular basis or with excellent skin tone, a better defined washboard stomach can be obtained in just a few hours. This is not a substitute for weight loss and the best candidates are of relatively normal weight with isolated pockets of fat.
