Pectoral Etching in Thailand

Pectoral Etching is a surgical option for men who would like to enhance their chest but don’t like the idea of implants.

Pectoral Etching IN BANGKOK, THAILAND

Pectoral etching is an outpatient procedure that generally takes 1-2 hours and does not require an overnight stay. The surgeon will use liposuction to strategically remove fat and accurately define the muscles in the chest area.

After surgery, you’ll need to wear a compression garment for 2 weeks to reduce bruising and swelling. Depending on how much work was done, your chest may feel tight or sore for several days after the procedure but should improve as time passes.

The scarring from pectoral etching tends to be minimal due to the small incisions used during liposuction, resulting in nearly undetectable scars once healed. If you believe pectoral etching could be right for you, contact the expert team at Interplast Clinic today.

This technique is suitable for patients who have fat in between the pectoral muscles. Liposuction may be performed at the edge and also in between the affected pectoral muscles.

3. Technique 3

This is a unique technique for patients with a large amount of fat or patients with gynecomastia. The patient may need liposuction around the edge of the chest muscle as well as gynecomastia surgery, which involves a reduction of the male breasts.

4. Technique 4

This is for patients with small pectoral muscles. Liposuction is performed with the pectoral implant by using small-sized implants.
