Why bother sweating in the gym to get a six-pack….when you can just have surgery!

Thai media has reported on the growing trend of men going for surgery rather than working out in gyms to get a six pack.

A poster on Facebook – along with some quite grisly pictures – explained matter and showed a model having surgery.

Atittayapa Photiya suggested it was a waste of time to go down the gym route that might give you a six pack but one that was hard to keep. 

Surgery was a great solution – and it was permanent and easy, reported Bright TV.

Other media suggested that plastic surgeons at the Masterpiece Hospital in Dusit district of Bangkok were charging about 120,000 baht a time for the procedure. 

And there were plenty of takers – 20 to 30 customers a month were applying. 

The surgery is said to not be dangerous and involves sucking fat from the abdomen and repositioning certain structures in the stomach area. 

It means going under the knife for up to 4 hours but few people – perhaps as little as one in five – experience any complications. 

And most customers are reasonably satisfied with the results that can be achieved with surgery. 

Bright TV said many men were no longer wasting their time in the gym and going for six pack surgery instead.

Here at Thaivisa we think a straw poll is in order: What would you do for that flat manly abdomen?

1. Sweat it out in the gym
2. Go for surgery and to hell with the cost
3. Try to impress the ladies with what you’ve got!
4. Sit back, have another beer and feed that belly regardless!
