Visualize Your Results
With Vectra 3D imaging, you can preview your potential pectoral etching results before undergoing surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Marosan will use this advanced technology to create a detailed, three-dimensional model of your chest. This allows you to see how different sculpting options could look on your body, helping you make informed decisions about your procedure. By visualizing the outcome in advance, you can ensure that your expectations align with the realistic, natural-looking results that pectoral etching can offer.
During Surgery
Dr. Marosan administers intravenous sedation and tumescent anesthesia to ensure your comfort. He then makes small, strategically placed incisions in discreet areas of your chest. Using the VASER technology, Dr. Marosan inserts a specialized ultrasound probe to emulsify and gently remove excess fat around your pectoral muscles. This allows him to sculpt the chest with precision, highlighting the natural contours of your pectoralis major muscles.
Once the fat is removed, Dr. Marosan carefully shapes and defines the borders of your pectoral muscles, creating the appearance of a more chiseled, athletic chest. The incisions are then closed, and you’ll be provided with post-operative care instructions. The procedure typically takes a few hours, and while you may see some immediate results, the final, fully defined look will develop as swelling subsides over the following weeks.
After Surgery
You may experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are normal side effects. Dr. Marosan will provide you with a compression garment to reduce swelling and support your chest as it heals.
Light activity is encouraged immediately, but avoid strenuous exercise for 3-4 weeks. While you may notice some definition right away, the final results will gradually appear as the swelling subsides, typically over the next few weeks. The final results can be seen in 3-6 months, revealing a more defined, sculpted chest.

Questions
How Long Does the Surgery Take?
Pectoral etching typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity and the amount of fat being removed. Dr. Marosan will provide a more specific timeframe during your consultation.
Will There Be Scars?
Dr. Marosan makes small, strategically placed incisions in discreet areas of your chest. These incisions typically heal well, leaving minimal scarring that is often barely noticeable. The scars are usually hidden in natural creases or along muscle lines.
