Six pack surgery, also known as abdominal aesthetics, is a surgical operation that aims to absorb excess fat in order to obtain a better appearance in the abdomen.
Since it's a popular area of the body, women and men do intense exercises to have an ideal appearance. It is very difficult to reveal the abdominal muscles known as “six pack”. Exercises are often insufficient in this regard. People who cannot get the desired result with exercise may prefer six pack surgery. The operation can be combined with liposuction.
Who Can Have Six Pack Surgery?
Those who are over the age of 18, have good general health, do not have excessive weight, cannot get the desired look with exercise, or who want to get fast results in a short time can choose six pack surgery.
How is Six Pack Surgery Performed?
During the six pack surgery, one of the anesthesia options is applied according to the prefer of the patient, as in other plastic surgeries. Sedation or general anesthesia is mostly preferred. How the incisions are made depends on the extent of the treatment and the preferences of the patient and the surgeon. These incisions are micro incisions and do not leave scars after the operation. The operation time is about 1 hour and the recovery process is also very fast.
Six Pack Surgery: Before and After
There are certain issues in a six pack surgery, as in other cosmetic procedures. The person who wants to have six pack surgery should stop smoking before the process, have a good general health condition, and not use medicine with blood thinners. The person should also wear a corset for a while.
Six pack surgery has an easy and painless procedure, but painkillers can be used for mild pain that may be experienced. Within a few days after the operation, the person can continue her/his daily life. It is important to avoid heavy exercise for a while and not to start smoking immediately in order to shorten the healing process.
Six pack surgery results are mostly permanent. However, in order to maintain these results, it is necessary to pay attention to one's life, nutrition and harmful habits.
The price of six pack surgery varies from person to person, depending on the scope of the operation. Therefore, it is not possible to give an exact fee. The type of liposuction, the fat ratio of the person, the additional treatments to be performed are decisive on the price of the six pack surgery.
Since there are some anatomical differences in men and women, operations performed in the abdominal area also differ. In women, this is performed by highlighting the muscles on the right and left sides of the abdomen and so it is called two pack.
