Ab-etching is a specialized liposuction technique that accentuates abdominal muscles by removing fat layers, creating a defined six-pack appearance. While it was developed in the 1990s, its popularity surged recently, particularly among men in their 30s to 50s who desire a more sculpted waistline. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Giselle Prado-Wright notes that this procedure gained traction during the pandemic as more men became influenced by social media images of idealized physiques. Though occasionally recommended for women, the demand primarily stems from male clients seeking enhanced body aesthetics.
How it works Ab-etching was invented in the early 1990s by Dr. Henry Mentz, a Houston-based plastic surgeon. However, it took time for the technique to gain traction.
It's not clear exactly what drove this trend into turbocharge, but Prado-Wright thinks a lot of guys who come into her clinic ended up spending more time on social media during lockdowns, and started to obsess over having six-packs.
