PATIENT PROFILE
Men who are slim or lean and who, despite doing sports, do not develop their abdominal muscles.
Also for men who want to increase their abdominal muscles.
Not recommended if the patient has a distended abdomen or is overweight. In such cases, we advise high definition liposuction.
You can see this link – liposuction HD or 3D
PROCEDURE
It is performed in the operating room.
It consists of making an incision at the level of the pubis and peeling off the skin up to the ribs. Once we see the muscle bellies, we open each one and between the muscle and the fascia that covers them, we place the custom-made silicone prostheses.
There are patients who have 6 muscle bellies, but there are those who have 8. They are not always identical or symmetrical. If you look at pictures of guys with their abs pulled in you will notice that they are not always the same. Therefore, prostheses must be trimmed and adapted to the size of each patient.
The type of silicone is solid but flexible, similar to cheek, chin or jaw angle prostheses. Not like biceps, triceps, shoulder, buttock or calf prostheses, which have a capsule and high cohesive gel inside them.
DURATION OF THE INTERVENTION
- 4 – 5 hours
