Abstract
In the past, liposuction was a procedure dedicated only to removing unwanted fat. There was no surgical option for slimming or creating an athletic form. In men, the “six-pack” abdomen defines an athletic and masculine appearance. In reality, few men have the combination of genes, dietary habits, and exercise required to develop and reveal the bellies of the rectus abdominis that produce the “six-pack.”
