Six-Pack Surgery
The technique, called abdominal etching, is a kind of precision
liposuction. The doc sucks out the fat that's standing between the
patient and, if everything goes well, the six-pack. The suction
six-pack costs between $4,000 and $7,000 and is only suitable for
certain patients.
The procedure takes an hour or two. But pain can persist for days
afterward. Swelling can last for weeks or even months. (The after
picture was taken a little over a year after the surgery.) And
there can be complications, such as infection and
bleeding.
Who's tempted?
