Frequently Asked Questions
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® technology was patented in 2012.
The 48 Hour Six-Pack™ is designed to enhance and reveal your abs in just one session. As long as the patient is fit and has developed abdominal muscles, we can remove the fat and expose that six-pack look you’ve always wanted. Most patients see a defined set of abs after just two days. The 48 Hour Six-Pack™ is not only for men, and women considering this procedure should call their nearest Elite office for a consultation.
Our Power BBL™ uses AirSculpt® technology to harvest unwanted fat from areas you no longer want it like the thighs or the tummy. Our patented technology ensures high-quality fat is collected and then transferred to your buttocks. As Elite's updated version of the Brazilian Butt Lift, this process places the fat precisely where you want it, safer than any implant or injection.
Our Up A Cup™ breast augmentation uses AirSculpt® technology to harvest unwanted fat from areas where you no longer want it like the thighs or the stomach. Our patented technology ensures high-quality fat is collected and then transferred to your breasts. As a result, your breasts can go permanently up a bra size.
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.
AirSculpt® risks are reduced compared to invasive surgery but still include bruising, swelling, and the possibility of infection, as is common with any cosmetic procedure. We provide our patients with antibiotics before their treatment and for the following two weeks. The overall risk of more severe side effects is also lessened by avoiding general anesthesia.
AirSculpt® procedures last anywhere between 45 minutes and four hours. We take as much time as needed while taking each individual’s circumstances into account. The length of your AirSculpt® will usually depend on the area treated and the volume of fat removed.
AirSculpt® patients are not put to sleep. In fact, you’ll remain awake the whole time. Because we avoid the use of general anesthesia, our patients are never unconscious and can even listen to music or watch movies during their procedure.
AirSculpt® can be performed on your chin area, abdomen, love handles, bra roll (back roll), inner and outer thighs, arms, and banana rolls (underneath each buttock). Our Up A Cup™ and Power BBL™ transfer fat from your tummy or thighs to your buttocks or breasts, respectively. We like to say, “if you can pinch it, we can take it,” as you can AirSculpt® pretty much any area between your neck and ankles.
