Through liposuction and his expertise  in the art of liposcupture,  Dr. Newall  gives the abdomen the chiseled, athletic appearance of “washboard abs.”   He accomplishes this by strategically removing fat from the abdomen, waist, and love handles.  The best candidates for this procedure are those who are at a reasonably good weight, but have areas of fat that are unresponsive to exercise and diet.   Abdominal etching is often able to give the  abdominal muscles much more pronounced definition than what could be achieved by spending hours at the gym.  This procedure is usually performed in less than an hour under general anesthesia.
