Abdominal Muscle Aesthetics

Abdominal Procedures

Achieving a 6-pack can be quite challenging, even with a dedicated exercise routine and healthy eating habits. It can be disheartening when stubborn pockets of fat refuse to go away despite our best efforts. However, there are procedures available that can specifically target and remove these troublesome fat pockets. In addition, there is a technique where the extracted fat can be transferred to the abdominal muscles, providing a permanent 6-pack appearance without the need for extensive exercise. It's an option worth considering if you're looking for an alternative approach to achieving your desired physique.

Abdominal Sculpting using Vaser liposuction

VASER, short for "vibration Amplification of sound energy resonance," is an innovative liposuction technique that uses state-of-the-art ultrasonic technology to break down and liquify fat cells. Unlike traditional liposuction, VASER liposuction involves the use of a needle instead of a tube for fat removal. This technique is particularly effective in targeting smaller pockets of fat around the abdomen, which can help accentuate the underlying muscles and give you that desired 6-pack look. It's a fantastic option to consider if you're looking for a way to sculpt your physique without relying solely on exercise.

Six Pack Fat Transfer

The surgeon will begin by drawing lines on your muscles to determine their location. They will then select the most suitable fat source, which may include areas such as the belly, thighs, buttocks, or back. After collecting enough fat, it will undergo filtration and preparation. The surgeon will then inject the fat into specific areas under the skin to enhance and define your abdominal muscles. Following the procedure, minor stitches will be performed, and you will be wrapped with an elastic corset for a few days to aid in the stabilization of the injected fat. This approach offers a way to achieve a well-defined 6-pack without relying solely on exercise.

Post-op Care

• • The corset you have been provided with should be worn for at least a month.
• • Make sure that your corset is on correctly and comfortable while you are wearing it. It should not crease up.
• • Any corset worn should be washed every 3 days. You may remove the corset for 2-3 hours in order to wash it, but it should be worn again as soon as possible.
• • It is normal to experience seeping from the wound. It is no cause for concern.
• • You should not attempt to remove any stitches. They will dissolve by themselves in time.
• • If there is no drainage put in place, you may take a shower 2 days after the procedure.
• • If you have drainage in place you may only take a shower 24 hours after it has been removed.
• • The operation area should be lightly patted dry with a clean towel after you have taken a shower.
• • After a period of 2 weeks has passed you should conduct a lymphatic massage on the affected area. This will accelerate both the recovery time and improve the shape of the body.
• • Swelling post-op may continue up to 6 months after the procedure and the results of the procedure may not become evident until that time.
• • You may start walking at a brisk pace 3 weeks after the procedure has taken place. However, if you experience any pain the activity should be discontinued immediately.
• • You can start doing heavier sports 6 weeks after the procedure has taken place.

Book a free consultation with one of our expert advisors at Ames today, in order to assess your BMI so that we make sure that the procedure is appropriate for you. As there are medical and physical limitations as to how much fat can be safely removed, the procedure may not be suitable for those who are overweight. The procedure itself is best suited for body sculpting as opposed to weight loss.

People who get an Arm Lift with us often have some of the following procedures done too:

Vaginoplasty

Vaginoplasty can take on many different forms surgically and the type of procedure you recieve really depends on your goals or medical needs and may include the reconstruction or recreation of the vaginia using a multitude of techniques. Vaginoplasty is often sought after by those who are seeking to address defects caused by birth or trauma in order to improve sexual function as well as by those who need vaginal reconstruction after undergoing radiation therapy for cancer and other conditions. Vaginoplasty is also used to help address congenital abnormailities which may have affected the development of the vagina.

Crowns (Dental)

Crowns, which are also sometimes called caps, are carefully fitted sleeves that sit over an existing tooth in order to protect it from further damage or to improve your smile. Often applied as part of a root canal treatment, they can also hold together teeth that are cracked and support bridges. Not only this, they can also be used to cover and improve the look of teeth that have become discolored.

Dental implants (Dental)

Unlike other tooth replacement procedures, implants actually help promote healthy bone growth as they are osteoconducive. Generally, it is a small surgical procedure, carried out under local anaesthetic, in which a titanium screw will be fitted into your jaw. Dental implants are usually used where patients have more than one missing tooth and using a bridge is no longer possible.

Liposuction

As we age, lose weight or after we give birth, we may find certain pockets of fat are harder to remove than others through exercise and diet alone. Liposuction can help remove this fat by extracting it with a very strong vacuum. Outside of traditional liposuction, we also provide vaser liposuction which uses ultrasonic waves first to breakdown fat cells before extracting them. This often leads to less damage being done to the remaining tissue and thus enabling a quicker recovery time. Liposuction is a procedure which can be performed on all body parts.

Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Some of us are left with an excess of skin around our tummy area after losing a lot of weight or giving birth. As this skin cannot be lost through exercise or diet alone, a ‘tummy tuck’ can be used to surgically remove the excess skin to give your tummy a thinner more defined look. It is important to remember that a tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure and may not be a suitable procedure for everyone.
