The Etch™: Microliposuction of the Abdomen in Coral Gables, Miami by Dr. Soler-Baillo
Subtle Definition. Sculpted by Hand. Naturally You.
At Soler-Baillo Plastic Surgery, The Etch™ is Dr. Jose Soler-Baillo’s signature microliposuction technique that defines and sculpts the abdomen to reveal natural, athletic contours. Using small cannulas and a meticulous, hand-sculpted approach, this procedure enhances your core’s shape—not by exaggeration, but through precise, subtle artistry that respects your natural anatomy.
The Etch is ideal for patients who are already fit or close to their goal weight but want to refine the abdominal area with cleaner lines, visible definition, and a more confident silhouette.
What Is The Etch™?
The Etch™ is a form of microliposuction of the abdomen that targets superficial and deep fat layers with extreme precision to reveal natural muscular definition—particularly around the central abdominal line, obliques, and waist.
Unlike traditional high-definition liposuction, The Etch avoids over-sculpting or sharp, artificial edges. Instead, Dr. Soler-Baillo uses small cannulas and a hand-controlled technique to enhance the underlying structure of the abdomen, creating soft, natural-looking definition that complements your frame.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Etch™
How is The Etch™ different from traditional liposuction?
The Etch™ uses smaller cannulas and a manual, artistic approach to sculpt finer details of the abdominal wall. It doesn’t just remove fat—it shapes and defines muscle lines in a way that looks organic and personalized, unlike broader fat removal methods.
Will it make me look like I have a six-pack?
The goal of The Etch™ is not to create sharp or exaggerated definition. Instead, it enhances natural musculature, producing a subtle, toned, athletic appearance. Think refined—not extreme.
Is there any scarring?
The incisions used for microliposuction are extremely small and strategically placed in hidden areas like natural creases or along the bikini line. Scarring is minimal and typically fades significantly over time.
What is recovery like?
Most patients return to light activity within 3–5 days, with full activity resuming after 2–3 weeks, depending on the extent of contouring. Compression garments are worn to support healing and optimize results.
Can I combine The Etch™ with other procedures?
Yes. The Etch™ is commonly combined with:
-
Liposuction of the waist or flanks
-
Bikini Tummy Tuck
-
Gynecomastia correction (for men)
-
Fat transfer to the buttocks (BBL)
Dr. Soler-Baillo will create a custom plan based on your body and goals.
