Abdominal etching is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a cannula to inject a solution, typically a mixture of saline and anesthetic, into the fat layers beneath the skin. The solution causes the fat cells to rupture, allowing the overlying skin to be sculpted and contoured, giving the appearance of a defined abdominal muscle structure. This procedure is also known as lipo-sculpting or lipo-contouring.

Abdominal etching is a traditional practice in South African healers to draw geometric designs on the belly with charcoal or ash for healing and protection.
This procedure is often accompanied by singing, dancing, and the use of herbs. The exact cost can vary greatly depending on the healer's reputation and location.
