Abdominal Etching

SCOTTSDALE, AZ – MAY 7, 2007 – Aldo Benjamin Guerra, MD, a local plastic surgeon in Arizona was notified today by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons that both papers he submitted have been accepted for presentation at the annual meeting held in October later this year. The first presentation summarizes Dr. Guerra’s experience with soft tissue augmentation in rhinoplasty over the past 24 months. His second presentation focuses on the use of liposuction for the enhancement of the abdominal muscles, a technique called “abdominal etching”, which Dr. Guerra has utilized for the past 5 years.

In the rhinoplasty presentation, Dr. Guerra plans to discuss the use of fascia, a soft tissue he obtains during surgery from the back of the patient’s ear to rebuild the nose. Dr. Guerra notices that some patients require augmentation as supposed to reduction of the nose to improve the appearance of the individual. Dr. Guerra stresses that he prefers a more natural result with all his procedures, but is especially interested in achieving the “most natural” results with nasal reshaping surgery.

“I have always had a great interest in nasal surgery and this paper describes a technique which I believe will assist many surgeons and patients alike to achieve a natural result with augmentation rhinoplasty,” said Dr. Aldo Guerra, Medical Director of the AB Guerra Plastic Surgery Clinic, Scottsdale, AZ.

In his second presentation, Dr. Aldo Guerra plans to discuss his experience with abdominal etching, a procedure used to enhance the appearance of the abdominal muscles. He plans to summarize, for the members of the society, the steps he takes to achieve an effective enhancement of the abdominal muscles while reducing potential side effects.
“Abdominal etching is a challenging procedure for most plastic surgeons. I believe that the steps outlined in my study will help surgeons and patients achieve better and more predictable results in the future,” said Dr. Aldo Guerra.
