Forget Exercising: Surgeons Can Make the Stomach Look Muscular
The ideal body is often presented as one with a stomach having no fat, or better yet, defined muscles.
Many have tried to reach that goal by spending time exercising and paying money to join a gym. Some change their diet or simply eat less. Others just give up and gain weight as a result. Now doctors at the University of Miami's Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine think they have found an answer. They have created a new plastic surgery process that could replace all that hard work.
It is called abdominal etching.
The process is explained in a recent study in the Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The study followed 26 men and 24 women who already had a healthy diet and got some exercise, but all had unwanted stomach fat. The average age of the patient was 36.
During the surgery, doctors removed fat from different parts of a body using a process called liposuction. Then they moved the fat around and etched lines in the stomach to make them appear to be the outline of muscles. Men usually have six muscle lines and women have three. Patients could choose to have the muscles more defined or more rounded for a softer look. After the surgery, the patients appeared to have the stomach of a person who spends hours exercising every day.

Stomach fat is the hardest fat to lose on the body. It is deeper inside the body than leg or hip fat, and it often increases with age. Recently, several non-surgical, fat-reducing processes have become popular in the United States. Called "body sculpting," they include freezing fat or hitting it with radio waves. Both processes supposedly kill fat cells in the body. But they cannot get to that deep stomach fat that abdominal etching removes.
After the surgery, patients had to follow a lot of rules. They had to cover their surgery scars with pieces of tight foam for several weeks to keep the lines in place. They also needed many appointments with doctors to check for problems. One month after the surgery, they still have to exercise every day and keep to a diet for up to six years.
So, if you hate exercise or diet, this surgery might not be the one. You cannot simply walk out of the hospital with great abdominal muscles and go home, sit on a chair and do nothing.

忘掉锻炼吧 外科医生能让腹部显现腹肌
人们通常认为,理想的身材应该是腹部没有脂肪,最好肌肉线条分明1VeIaLykAdAK,
许多人曾试图通过锻炼以及花钱去健身房来达到这一目标Fv+8)g2nPSo&maHRan。有些人会改变饮食或者只是少吃一些utGfSL-@E_Hkt。其他人则会放弃这一目标,而这些人的体重往往会增加V.@;D5V_KbbqYH。现在,迈阿密大学莱昂纳德.M.米勒医学院的医生认为,他们找到了方法_J,+,7[XbzMW%^zxlbd@。他们创造出了一种新型整形手术,可以取代这些辛苦锻炼DBKo#6aJ8rU3m
这个手术名为“腹部蚀刻”4acSTMHXFrfL,fxJ2z|
一项描述了手术过程的最新研究刊登在《美国整形外科学会》期刊上k=gUf5k5!%Z。这项研究对26名男性和24名女性进行了追踪,这些人饮食健康而且坚持锻炼,但是他们都有多余的腹部脂肪[Wq1tVgK;A.^.S。这些患者的平均年龄为36岁%!Lqg4i*caR_#9
在手术中,医生通过吸脂术去除患者身体不同部位的脂肪ys=v*xDFI3N)onny87^。然后移动脂肪,并在腹部刻线,让腹部看上去拥有肌肉轮廓TJ0&]db;BWD2]meMPxW。通常,男性有6条腹肌线,而女性有3条&Kra!cNEV8m.X。患者可以选择是让肌肉轮廓更为分明还是让肌肉线条更为圆润柔和KYW_(z[.MF+0+。手术之后,患者的腹肌看上去和那些每天锻炼数小时的人一样iKM&DbDH!NMeK6TW
腹部脂肪是最难消除的脂肪Cxg@bni_(3Xyt_q(FJ&。腹部脂肪存在于身体深处,比腿部脂肪或臀部脂肪都要深,而且通常会随着年龄的增长而增加mZbq[#6d!,。最近,多种非手术减脂方法风靡美国bjIY@a(q^JqzC5。这些方法名为“身材雕刻”,包括冷冻脂肪或用无线电波击碎脂肪Sx^,Iu2m&5kW2。据说,这两种方法都能消除身体里的脂肪细胞HJhmW!dHUxC。但是不能像腹部蚀刻手术那样去除身体深处的腹部脂肪t)OoZTbvhbxj+Mlp.
手术之后,患者必须遵守多项规定ftbbaM9^L;bdg2L1K。他们必须用切成适当大小的泡沫敷料紧紧盖住手术疤痕数周时间,以保持肌肉线条J;0.rfcX8Q&6B。患者还要多次复诊,让医生检查是否有问题1W;+]aNqskv@*jJ=(.7K。术后一个月,患者仍要每天锻炼并保持饮食习惯,而这要坚持6年6=h#5e!~-,!et+C3Iz
因此,如果你讨厌锻炼或节食,这个手术可能并不适合你aQ@pElS^s7Ek_8!fQK。原因是,带着完美的腹肌走出医院,回家之后就坐在椅子上什么都不做,这是不可能的Z3h|dVJxZ*d]U
