What is Combined Ab & Pec Etching?

Combined abdominal and pectoral etching is a comprehensive body sculpting procedure that creates visible muscle definition across your entire upper body. This advanced technique uses precision liposuction to sculpt both your six-pack abs and chest muscles in a single surgery, creating a completely defined, athletic torso. This is the ultimate body contouring procedure for fit individuals who want to showcase their muscular development and achieve the look of an elite athlete or fitness model. By combining both procedures, you achieve harmonious, balanced definition from chest to waistline with a single recovery period.

The Procedure

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes 3-4 hours. The surgeon begins by etching the abdominal muscles, using specialized liposuction to remove fat along the natural lines of the rectus abdominis and obliques, creating six-pack definition. Then, pectoral etching is performed to enhance chest muscle definition and separation. Fat is strategically removed from around both the abs and pecs to create shadows and highlights that mimic natural muscle contours. VASER or laser-assisted technology may be used for maximum precision. The entire torso is sculpted to create a cohesive, athletic appearance with visible muscle definition from chest to waistline.

Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates are already fit with low body fat percentage, have good muscle development throughout upper body, maintain regular workout routine, are at stable weight, have good skin elasticity, are non-smokers, and want complete upper body definition.

Benefits

  • Complete Upper Body Sculpting: Defines both abs and chest
  • Athletic Physique: Comprehensive muscular definition
  • Single Recovery: One healing period for both areas
  • Cost Savings: More economical than separate procedures
  • Harmonious Results: Balanced upper body definition
  • Enhanced Confidence: Complete torso transformation

Risks and Complications

Risks

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We know planning surgery overseas comes with important questions. Our FAQ covers everything from pricing and insurance to travel, recovery, and aftercare, so you can feel informed and confident before your journey with Azurite.
When should I pay my oustanding balance?

Once you’ve paid a 30% deposit and have secured your surgery date. We recommend paying your outstanding balance as soon as possible so you can receive your surgery itinerary. But if you’re unable to pay straight away - we need it paid latest 30 days before your scheduled surgery date.

How much should I pay to secure a surgery date?

We ask that you pay 30% of your total invoice.

When will I receive a receipt for payment?

Receipts for payment do not happen automatically. A member of our team waits for the payment to hit banking and then have it feed to our accounting system. Generally this can take 2-4 days once you have sent your payment.

How should I pay for things overseas?

We always recommend having a credit card on hand or at least a debit mastercard or visa.

Also make sure you notify your bank you are going overseas. You can do this either via online banking, in branch or calling your bank directly. AMEX doesn’t require this.

Are meals included?

Only breakfast is included but you can eat like a King in Thailand with some of the best restaurants in the world.  Also feel is very affordable.

We do recommend you bring a protein powder and greens powder (any brand) with something like spirulina or wheat grass in it. This is because after surgery clients are generally not hungry and can become quite nauseous

Can I pay by credit card?

Yes, you can. We accept all major credit cards however you’ll incur a 3% transaction fee. If you wish to pay via credit card we will send you a payment link.

Can I get a refund?

Cancellation with 30 or more days’ notice: Cancellation before 30 days will incur an AUD 3000 cancellation fee.

Cancellation within 29 days or less: All surgery packages canceled less than 30 days before the scheduled surgery date will lose 30% of their total invoice price

Cancellation within 7 days: Cost of surgery is forfeited unless Azurite Package is rescheduled

Cancellation on the day of surgery: The cost of surgery is forfeited unless Azurite Package is rescheduled within the travel time window (departure flight window).

If a client decides to not proceed with a scheduled surgery during their stay in Thailand or another Azurite location, they will incur an additional hospital package fee if they choose to proceed with the surgery at a later date.

There are no refunds on surgeries that you choose not to proceed with if you are on a multi-surgery package due to the discount given.

Refunds will be given for medical reasons that are not pre existing.

Can I bring a companion?

Yes, you can bring one companion for free as your support person. However, to avoid additional charges generally the companion stays with you on the sofa bed at hospital. If your companion does not want to stay at hospital you will be invoiced additional nights to keep your hotel reservation while at hospital. Current rate is 150 AUD (but is subject to change)

Who is my surgeon?

At Azurite we use a select team of ISAPS accredited plastic and reconstructive surgeons and have made the decision to not be associated with a surgeon name, and results only. Full details of surgeon will be provided upon deposit payment made.

Is accommodation included?

Yes, all of our packages include accommodation at our partner hotel the Chatrium Residence Sathorn. As a One Bedroom Deluxe Suite. If you require an additional room or a two bedroom you’ll be invoiced an upgrade fee.
