What is Abdominal Etching in Birmingham (High Definition Liposculpture)?
Abdominal etching, also known as ab etching or high-definition liposuction (HD Lipo), is a refined cosmetic surgery technique designed to enhance the natural definition of the abdominal muscles. This advanced form of liposuction (Using VASER Liposuction technology) precisely removes small, targeted deposits of fat from the abdominal area to create a more contoured, athletic appearance.
During the procedure, Dr. Fasano uses specialised surgical instruments to meticulously sculpt the abdomen by removing fat between and around the muscles. This process accentuates the natural muscle lines, creating the appearance of a well-defined “six-pack” or enhanced abdominal contour. The technique can be tailored for both men and women, depending on their aesthetic goals and body type.
Abdominal etching is considered a minimally invasive surgical procedure, typically performed under general anaesthesia. Recovery is generally swift, with most patients experiencing mild swelling and bruising in the days following surgery. Light activities can usually be resumed within several days, and most individuals return to work within about a week.
Results from abdominal etching are long-lasting, provided that patients maintain a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle to prevent new fat accumulation. For individuals seeking a more sculpted and athletic abdominal appearance, this procedure offers a highly effective and precise enhancement option under the expert care of Dr. Fasano.
How Does VASER Liposuction in Birmingham Work?
VASER liposuction is a minimally invasive body-contouring procedure designed to remove unwanted fat with precision and minimal trauma. The process typically begins with the surgeon marking the areas to be treated, ensuring accurate targeting of fat deposits.
A local anaesthetic is administered to numb the area, although sedation can also be offered if needed for comfort. Once the anaesthetic takes effect, tiny incisions are made near the marked areas, and tumescent fluid is injected to expand the tissue layer, helping to protect surrounding structures.
Next, a small ultrasonic probe is inserted, which emits targeted ultrasound energy to break down fat cells. The liquefied fat is then gently removed using a thin hollow tube called a cannula.
After fat removal, the incisions are closed, and the treated areas are dressed. A compression garment is applied to support healing, reduce swelling, and help the skin conform to the new contours.
Overall, the procedure is designed to deliver precise sculpting, minimal tissue trauma, and faster recovery compared with traditional liposuction techniques.

Am I a Candidate for High Definition Liposculpture?
To be eligible for abdominal etching, patients must already be fit, healthy, and have a low body fat percentage. Plastic surgeons typically recommend this procedure for individuals with less than 2 cm of pinchable fat on the abdomen. During consultation, the surgeon will assess fat thickness and overall muscle tone to determine suitability. It is important to note that abdominal etching is a sculpting procedure, not a fat-removal or debulking surgery, and is best suited for those who exercise regularly but have a small, resistant layer of fat obscuring their muscle definition.
What If You Do Not Qualify for Abdominal Etching?
Candidates may be declined for surgery if they have excess abdominal fat or insufficient muscle development. In such cases, achieving a toned midsection naturally is entirely possible through targeted exercise and proper nutrition. Combining regular cardiovascular workouts, strength training, and a balanced diet supports fat reduction and muscle growth, helping individuals build visible abdominal definition without surgery.
During your consultation, Dr. Fasano will evaluate your specific goals, discuss the treatment plan, and determine if High Definition Liposculpture is right for you.

Long-Lasting Results: Delivers durable results when paired with a healthy diet and active lifestyle, maintaining a well-defined, toned abdomen.
Improved Confidence: A more athletic and contoured appearance often enhances body image and self-esteem, contributing to greater overall confidence.
Abdominal Etching: Step-by-Step Surgical Process
1. Administration of Anaesthesia
At the start of the procedure, the patient is given either local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on their health, treatment scope, and the surgeon’s professional assessment. This ensures comfort and safety throughout the operation.
2. Abdominal Marking
Once anaesthesia takes effect, the surgeon carefully marks the natural muscle lines on the abdomen. These guide markings serve as a blueprint during the procedure, ensuring precise sculpting of the abdominal contours.
3. Targeted Liposuction
Small, discreet incisions are made in the belly button or natural skin folds to minimise visible scarring. Through these openings, a fine cannula (a slender suction tube) is inserted and connected to a vacuum device. The surgeon uses this tool to selectively remove fat along the marked lines, enhancing the visibility of the underlying musculature and creating a defined, athletic appearance.
4. Final Contouring and Closure
Once the desired sculpting is achieved, the incisions are closed with sutures, and a compression garment is applied. This garment helps to reduce swelling, support healing, and encourage the skin to adapt smoothly to the new abdominal contours.
5. Duration and Recovery
The entire procedure typically takes two to three hours. Most patients can return home the same day, once the anaesthetic has worn off and initial recovery checks are complete.

Six Pack Liposuction (High Definition Liposculpture) Faqs
During your consultation with our expert Doctors you will learn all about the treatments suitable for you and your body. Patients sometimes visit our London and Birmingham Clinics with multiple areas of concern.
Just as the standard VASER liposuction, the tumescent numbing solution is infiltrated across the area we wish to treat. This will allow the ultrasound energy and heat to propagate, melting the fat while stimulating the skin to produce more collagen and structural proteins.
Dr Fasano will contour, define and sculpt the areas, allowing your muscles to appear more defined.
In case there is the need, the harvested fat will be used to minimize previously existing indentations, cellulite dips, sunk scars and other aesthetic issues.
Dr Fasano is proud to be one of the few cosmetic aesthetic doctors in the UK who takes over the care of patients who were left with visible botched results from previous liposuctions and he tries his best to offer revision surgeries at very reduced prices.
Following your procedure, you will come in for several follow up appointments.
The first one, after 7 days after the operation will allow us to remove any drain that was inserted at the end of the procedure as well as monitoring your healing process.
The second one, after 6 weeks, will allow Dr Fasano to evaluate the treated areas free of any swelling and post-operative transient complication.
The third one, after 6 months, will enable us to appreciate and discuss the final results.
We pride ourselves on the best post-operative management. That is why, after your operation we guide you onto the treatment that you should have to best enhance your recovery period, such as lymphatic massages with our well-trained masseuse, micro needling or radiofrequency treatments, always taking advantage of the latest technologies that will allow you to recover at best.
Patients seeking a high definition of their muscles through VASER liposuction have to understand that multiple aspects come into play when thinking about the final result.
Factors that need to be taken into consideration are:
- The volume of fat covering the muscle print to the procedure.
- The skin quality and the muscle tone of the patient before the procedure takes place.
- The compliance with wearing the compression garments and elastic binders following the procedure.
- The intrinsic ability of the treated tissue to produce more structural proteins in reaction to the heat and ultrasound energy of the VASER probe, as well as the RF energy and Helium Plasma released by the Renuvion Machine in case it’s used during your high definition liposculpture procedure.
