FAQ’s
AirSculpt® is patented, precision-engineered technology only available at Elite Body Sculpture. It removes unwanted fat through a freckle-sized hole cell by cell with no needle, no scalpel, and no stitches all while you’re awake. This revolutionary technology also tightens your skin while it removes your fat, providing dramatic, smooth, and natural results.
AirSculpt® procedures are minimally invasive compared to traditional fat removal and body sculpting methods thanks to our advanced technology. Our patients are fully awake, and we avoid scalpels or overly abrasive tools to maximize safety and be gentler on the body. Unlike noninvasive methods that require multiple sessions over several months, our AirSculpt® procedure permanently removes the fat cells from your body right away, so it’s a “one and done” treatment.
Anyone over 18 who has unwanted areas of stubborn fat is a perfect candidate for AirSculpt®. We like to say “If you can pinch it, we can take it” because AirSculpt® plucks away the fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise—whether it be a tablespoon or a gallon—all with no needles, no scalpel, and no stitches.
AirSculpt® is gentler and easier to recover from than traditional liposuction. AirSculpt® is comparable to plucking grapes from a vine while traditional lipo can be compared to scraping with a cheese grater. Traditional lipo often requires general anesthesia, but AirSculpt® is always performed while you’re awake. Far less downtime is involved with AirSculpt®, only 1-2 days compared to the 4-6 weeks of downtime after traditional lipo. Since more manual work is required with conventional lipo, damage to your lymphatic system—which is responsible for skin smoothness—is very likely to occur. This excessive damage is avoided with our gentle technology, minimizing many of the risks that come with liposuction.
Only one treatment is required in most cases because the fat is permanently removed during your AirSculpt® session. Patients can also combine different AirSculpt® procedures during their treatment, which can reduce costs while getting more done in just one session.
Because AirSculpt® is minimally invasive, downtime is much quicker than with traditional liposuction. Most patients are back to their normal activities in 24 to 48 hours. After the procedure, there may be some minor swelling, which is normal. To address this, a compression garment is worn under clothing for about 14 days to ensure optimal results.
AirSculpt® pricing depends on the areas treated and the amount of fat that will be removed, which is determined by the doctor at the consultation.
AirSculpt can treat the entire arm, from the elbow and forearm junction up to the armpit, front bra rolls, and armpit region.
Most patients do not have enough fat in their arms alone to achieve butt or breast augmentation, but the answer depends on the individual patient. Smaller amounts of fat are needed for a hand rejuvenation or Hip Flip, so the arms typically have enough fat in these instances.
Patients can keep breastfeeding up until their procedure but will have to abstain from breastfeeding after any AirSculpt treatment until their surgeon gives approval.
