Abdominal prosthesis surgery | six pack surgery

This is an operation to insert an abdominal prosthesis and to better define the “six pack”. It is ideal for men who are slim or slim and who, despite doing sport, do not develop their abdominal muscles.

Clínica Sanza, in Barcelona, with more than 30 years dedicated exclusively to plastic surgery, is a reference centre for this type of surgery.

PATIENT PROFILE

Men which are thin and toned, however, even with the practice of sport they do not develop abdominal muscles.

Also, men that wish to define their abdominal muscles.

Not recommended if the patient has a distended abdomen or is overweight. In such cases, we recommend a high definition liposuction.

PROCEDURE

This surgery is held in an operating room.

It consists in making a pubic incision and separating the skin until the ribs are reached.

Once the abdominal muscles are seen, we then place each silicone prosthesis under the fascia that covers the 6 abdominal muscles, some people have 8. They are not always identical or symmetrical. If you see photographs of men with their abdominal six pack defined, it is easy to see that they are not symmetrical. This is why we have to shape them and adapt them to the patient’s specific size.

The type of silicone is solid but flexible, similar to cheek, chin or mandibular angle prosthesis. Other Prosthesis, such as, biceps, triceps, shoulder, buttocks or calves, have a high cohesive gel recovered by a capsule.

DURATION OF THE SURGERY

4 to 5 hours.
