Frequently Asked Questions
AirSculpt® FAQ
- AirSculpt® is a next-generation body contouring treatment designed to optimize both comfort and precision, available exclusively at AirSculpt offices. The minimally invasive procedure removes fat and tightens skin, while sculpting targeted areas of the body, allowing for quick healing with minimal bruising, tighter skin, and precise results.
If you want to tighten loose or overhanging skin on the abdominal region, we recommend the Tiny Tuck. For permanent stomach fat removal, we recommend AirSculpt.
We can’t guarantee a six-pack, but patients with even marginal abdominal muscles often end up with a fully defined six-pack after their treatment.
Stomach AirSculpt removes stubborn fat from the upper and lower abdominal regions, the waist, and love handles. The 48-Hour Six Pack specifically targets fat concealing and surrounding the stomach muscles to etch a permanent set of sculpted abs.
As long as you have trouble with fatty spots in or around your abdominal area that you want to remove, this is the procedure for you. We have no BMI or age restrictions, so don't hesitate to schedule your free consultation today! .
Regardless of your goals, our surgeons make sure only to target the pockets of fat preventing you from looking your best. See for yourself in both our testimonials and before-and-after photos.
AirSculpt is not a weight-loss procedure, but patients commonly lose weight following their procedure. This stems from the newfound motivation they often experience to maintain their new proportions and accentuate their sculpted figure following AirSculpt.
For the upper stomach, we create entry points on the side of either torso. Entry Points for the lower stomach and waist are created near the belly button, just above the waistline in the front of the stomach, and on the flanks just above each hip bone.
Because AirSculpt only requires a minuscule entryway two millimeters wide, the incision heals far more quickly and seamlessly than traditional liposuction. Patients do not require stitches, and once fully healed, their perfectly symmetrical scars wind up looking like tiny freckles.
Yes! We have no BMI requirement, so high BMI patients can absolutely receive AirSculpt.
The amount of time required to complete a full abdominal AirSculpt can vary depending on the amount of fat to be removed. In general, this procedure takes between 90 minutes and four hours.
Yes! Our Mommy Makeover procedure includes AirSculpt of the full abdomen, pubic, and lower back/tailbone regions, plus a Tiny Tuck™ and Up a Cup™ Breast Augmentation. Patients can pick and choose between any of these procedures for their mommy makeover.
Being able to consistently and precisely deliver the hourglass figure was one of the core reasons we invented AirSculpt. We sculpt the hourglass figure whenever requested by strategically removing stomach, flank, and waist fat, as well as performing an all-natural Power BBL™ or HipFlip™ when deemed necessary.
Absolutely! The stomach is one of the most popular areas patients combine with a fat transfer, as large amounts of fat from regions like the abdomen are needed for transfers to the breasts or buttocks. Patients can also transfer stomach fat to just their hips or their hands as well.
Stomach AirSculpt will help address the stomach fold to a certain degree, but the Tiny Tuck would be a more direct solution for loose or overhanging belly skin.
You can absolutely target just the lower stomach. Typically, we treat the upper and lower abdomen together but if requested specifically we can target them individually.
You can absolutely target just the upper stomach. Typically, we treat the upper and lower abdomen together but if requested specifically we can target them individually.
AirSculpt will absolutely provide you with a flatter, more toned stomach. However results do depend on where a patient is starting from, so we cannot guarantee a flat stomach after AirSculpt. The best results are achieved among those who are in moderately good shape before their procedure.
Swelling is normal and to be expected after AirSculpt. Swelling should dissipate within a couple of weeks, though it may take up to a month for it to fully subside.
Bruising is completely normal and to be expected after AirSculpt. Every patient's body heals differently but bruising typically only lasts a couple of weeks to a month.
With AirSculpt, there are no sessions – every procedure provides permanent results with a single one-and-done treatment.
AirSculpt was designed to help patients heal with only a freckle-sized mark to show at each entrypoint! Scars are also made in creases or folds when possible, allowing patients to easily conceal them even when wearing bathing suits!
Patients require three post-op appointments. The first appointment takes place within one week of the procedure, the second about three months afterward, and the last roughly six months after.
Fat transfers using traditional liposuction are riskier than AirSculpt® fat graft treatments, as they are far more abrasive, less precise, and may involve general anesthesia. Because traditional liposuction-based fat transfers use manual tools to graft fat, such as a syringe, they tend to result in lumpy, asymmetrical changes that can make patients cringe. AirSculpt's power-automated technology ensures symmetrical results are achieved, even if a patient had unbalanced body features coming into treatment. Patients always stay awake and avoid painfully unnecessary elements like needles, scalpels, and stitches.
No. Patients must always use their own fat to achieve a successful fat transfer, which is why we advise that a sufficient amount of harvestable fat is needed for such procedures.
Yes, entry points depend on which or areas are first targeted for fat removal, then secondly which areas are enhanced with an AirSculpt fat transfer.
Patients should first and foremost follow their surgeon’s specific instructions. Blood thinners, aspirin, ibuprofen, and omegas must be avoided prior to treatment (take Tylenol for pain if needed instead). Patients should avoid applying lotion or body cream to the treated area, and refrain from consuming caffeine and tobacco on the day of the surgery, plus no alcohol the night before or day of AirSculpt. If you are diabetic, please bring your glucose testing meter and testing strips so we can test your levels before the procedure. Patients should pick up medication before coming in but not take any. Finally, we recommend wearing dark, loose clothing and eating a large meal before arriving so medication is not taken on an empty stomach.
Fat transferred during an AirSculpt procedure will begin to settle instantly. Because AirSculpt technology can pluck out fat one cell at a time, more survives to be grafted into the desired area. A small amount of fat will be naturally absorbed by the patient, but our surgeons always account for this re-absorption by injecting additional material. Most patients can return to work within three to five days of their procedure, but you should refrain from exercising or going to the gym for up to two weeks unless advised otherwise by the surgeon. Patients will also be asked to avoid sleeping on and applying pressure to the treated area for two weeks.
No, AirSculpt does not offer injectables. Our specialty is stubborn fat - both removing and transferring it.
Fat transfers using traditional liposuction are riskier than AirSculpt® fat graft treatments, as they are far more abrasive, less precise, and may involve general anesthesia. Because traditional liposuction-based fat transfers use manual tools to graft fat, such as a syringe, they tend to result in lumpy, asymmetrical changes that can make patients cringe. AirSculpt's power-automated technology ensures symmetrical results are achieved, even if a patient had unbalanced body features coming into treatment. Patients always stay awake and avoid painfully unnecessary elements like needles, scalpels, and stitches.
During an AirSculpt fat transfer, you’ll feel some vibration but not pain. We provide painkillers, numb the treated area beforehand, and give the patients the additional option of laughing gas if they feel like they need it. Patients describe the actual fat removal and transfer steps as similar to a deep-tissue massage or electric toothbrush-like sensation. Since AirSculpt® is minimally invasive and takes extra steps to be gentle on the body, recovery is far less painful than traditional options.
The quality of the fat collected, how well the material is processed, and a patient's physical characteristics can all affect the survival rate of grafted fat. The use of patented AirSculpt technology and our fat treatment approach helps ensure quality cells are harvested, reducing the risk of infection and increasing the fat's survival rate. Surgeons will also talk with patients beforehand to understand their treatment goals and plan how much extra fat to graft when accounting for natural reabsorption. Patients generally reabsorb about 50 percent of the fat transferred after the procedure.
No, compression garments do not interfere with an AirSculpt fat transfer, as they were specially designed to quicken recovery and optimize results.
We only use syringes to extract fat for our AirSculpt Lift, as this is characteristic of traditional liposuction. Our surgeons exclusively use the patented AirSculpt approach using a power-automated device that plucks fat cells one by one in a gentle plucking motion.
Yes, we can treat patients of any body size. The only caveat with fat transfers is that the patient must have sufficient harvestable to perform a successful graft; hence petite patients may not qualify for a fat transfer to the breasts or buttocks.
Fat removed during an AirSculpt® session is permanently removed and will not come back to that body part. If you gain weight after your procedure, the fat will appear anywhere but the treated area, so your new proportions tend to be preserved even in this scenario. We, therefore, recommend a healthy diet and exercise following your AirSculpt® treatment.
Regarding the area that was enhanced during an AirSculpt fat transfer, results will be permanent after the initial reabsorption that ensues any natural fat graft. Dramatic weight fluctuations can also affect results, although newly achieved proportions should remain relatively intact.
All patients will experience a certain degree of fat reabsorption that varies from person to person, but typically the percentage of fat reabsorbed tends to fall around 50 percent. The use of patented AirSculpt technology and our fat treatment approach helps ensure high-quality cells are harvested, further reducing the risk of infection and increasing the fat’s survival rate. Surgeons will also talk with a patient beforehand to understand their treatment goals and plan how much extra fat to graft when accounting for natural reabsorption.
If they do form, scars will appear as two-millimeter-wide freckle-sized marks wherever an entry point was made.
AirSculpt's power-automated technology provides proportional results, even if a patient had unbalanced body features coming into treatment. The rapidly spinning mechanism of AirSculpt technology means that surgeons never have to guess when removing or transferring fat with mechanical precision. We also take special care to ascertain each patient's body goals or pre-existing asymmetries to ensure balanced proportions are achieved.
Yes, men can receive any AirSculpt fat graft procedure, including a fat transfer from the abdomen to the buttocks, hands, or hips.
Patients require three post-op appointments. The first appointment takes place within one week of the procedure, the second about three months afterward, and the last roughly six months after.
As long as you have enough harvestable fat you want to remove and transfer to the buttocks, then you are a good candidate for an AirSculpt fat transfer butt enhancement. We have no BMI or age restrictions, so don't hesitate to schedule your free consultation today!
Regardless of your goals, our board-certified plastic surgeons make sure only to target the pockets of fat preventing you from looking your best. See for yourself in both our testimonials and before-and-after photos.
Any area with enough excess fat can be used as a donor site. The most common areas are the stomach and back, as these are larger enough for most patients to complete a fat transfer to the buttocks. Other popular options for this procedure are the inner thighs and arms.
AirSculpt fat transfers to the buttocks are superior to implant-based plastic surgery in every regard – safety, results, and longevity. Thanks to our gentle technique, AirSculpt patients avoid being put under, skip the painful recovery, and enjoy faster healing. Butt implants, comparatively, require general anesthesia and result in noticeable scarring. Patients receiving saline or silicone implants incur added risks of autoimmune diseases if the body rejects the foreign material within it, and aesthetically, they tend to look eerily unnatural. Butt implants can also move around over time and cause rippling, whereas a patient's fat will settle in a balanced manner that accentuates one's natural contours.
The amount of fat needed depends on the patient's specific goals and the amount of volume they have in their buttocks coming into the treatment. Patients with more prominent backsides and those looking for rounder buttocks will require less fat than those with flatter backsides and those aiming to add projection and fullness to their buttocks.
The Power BBL requires an entry point on the side of each leg just under the hip, near where the cheek meets the thigh. Another entry point is needed underneath each buttock around the banana roll, and then a final one just above the crease of the buttocks.
No AirSculpt procedure, including the Power BBL, has a BMI requirement.
An entire Power BBL takes roughly two hours to complete.
Recommended downtime is typically around 48 hours, and because AirSculpt® patients endure far less risk, they can walk out under their own power right after the procedure. Some have even reported running errands or going out to a light dinner soon after their buttock augmentation.
Most can return to work within three to five days of their procedure, but patients should refrain from exercising or going to the gym for up to two weeks unless advised otherwise by the surgeon. Patients will also be asked to avoid sleeping on and applying pressure to the treated area for two weeks.
Patients can sit down after a buttock enhancement but should use the pillow we provide for the first few weeks and as long as the surgeon advises.
Massages are not necessary following any AirSculpt procedure.
Patients should stay off their butt for two to three weeks, which means sleeping on their stomachs and using the seat pillow whenever sitting down.
Patients should wait at least two weeks before resuming strenuous exercise after AirSculpt but can begin taking light walks right away.
No. Patients should sleep on their tummies for two to three weeks after a Power BBL.
Fat extracted during an AirSculpt® session is permanently removed and will not come back to that body part. If you gain weight after your cosmetic procedure, the fat will appear anywhere but the treated parts of the body, so your new proportions will be preserved even in this scenario. We, therefore, recommend a healthy diet and exercise following your AirSculpt® treatment.
Regarding the area enhanced during an AirSculpt fat transfer, results will be permanent after the initial reabsorption that ensues any natural fat graft. Dramatic weight fluctuations can also affect results, although newly achieved proportions should remain relatively intact.
The power-automated nature of AirSculpt technology allows our surgeons to remove and transfer fat by the cell. This means they can graft precise amounts of material needed to deliver balanced, proportional results – all while minimizing the risk of infection or side effects.
We recommend spending 48 hours in the city you were treated in before flying home.
We do not offer a buttock fat removal procedure. We do, however, target the area just underneath the buttocks called the banana roll.
No. Patients must always use their own fat to achieve a successful fat transfer, which is why we advise that a sufficient amount of harvestable fat is needed for such procedures. Most patients get this surgery to transfer fat from stomach to buttocks, though other areas can be used too.
We do not recommend gaining weight to achieve a successful buttock augmentation or any other fat transfer.
Yes, we can make the buttocks and hips wider.
Patients can target tailbone fat and augment their buttocks simultaneously, as doing so can help accentuate one's natural feminine curvature.
We can transfer fat to both the hips and the buttocks as long as enough harvestable fat is available. Doing so helps round out a patient's backside, sculpts the coveted hourglass figure, and fills in undesired hip dips.

Patients generally reabsorb about 50 percent of the fat transferred after the procedure.
If they do form, scars will appear as two-millimeter-wide freckle-sized marks wherever an entry point was made.
Yes, we can transfer varying amounts of fat or even only treat one buttock, if desired, to ultimately achieve balanced results.
Since patients should avoid putting pressure on their buttocks and refrain from sitting for at least two weeks, we advise waiting this long at a minimum.
Unless your flanks or lower abdomen were treated, in which case size could decrease, one's waist size and shape should not be impacted by a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure.
Yes, men can receive any AirSculpt fat graft procedure, including a fat transfer from the abdomen to the buttocks, hands, or hips.
An AirSculpt fat transfer to the butt will provide a subtle to moderate lift to the buttocks in addition to augmentation. However, a dedicated buttock lifting cosmetic surgery (not to be confused with augmentation) also includes cutting out and folding excess skin, which AirSculpt procedures never do.
No, age will not affect the results of an AirSculpt buttock enhancement. The only requirement is that patients are over 18 years of age.
Patients should wait at least two to three weeks before resuming strenuous activity, and entry points should be fully closed before one considers swimming.
We do as little to the grafted material as possible before transferring it, as tinkering with the fat can decrease its viability and harm one's results. All we do to the fat is add antibiotics before injecting it and use gravitational energy to separate high-quality fat from the rest of the material with our closed-loop purification system.
During an AirSculpt fat transfer, you’ll feel some vibration but not pain. We provide painkillers, numb the treated area beforehand, and give the patients the additional option of laughing gas if they feel like they need it. Patients describe the actual fat removal and transfer steps as similar to a deep-tissue massage or electric toothbrush-like sensation. Since AirSculpt® is minimally invasive and takes extra steps to be gentle on the body, recovery is far less painful than traditional options.
Patients should wait at least two weeks before resuming strenuous exercise after AirSculpt but should begin taking light walks right away to help the body's circulation. Wearing the provided garment and pillow cushion are also recommended for at least two weeks. Otherwise, recovery is the same as any other AirSculpt treatment!
Patients should first and foremost follow their surgeon’s specific instructions when preparing for a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery. Blood thinners, aspirin, ibuprofen, and omegas must be avoided before treatment (take Tylenol for pain if needed instead). Patients should avoid applying lotion or body cream to the treated area and refrain from consuming caffeine and tobacco on the day of the surgery, plus no alcohol the night before or day of AirSculpt. If you have diabetes, please bring your glucose testing meter and testing strips so we can test your levels before the procedure. Patients should pick up medication before coming in but not take any. Finally, we recommend wearing dark, loose clothing and eating a large meal before arriving, so medication is not taken on an empty stomach.
The price you'll pay for an AirSculpt Brazilian butt lift varies from patient to patient. Factors affecting your Brazilian butt lift's cost include the quantity of fat removed, which locations are treated, the number of areas targeted, and the complexity of one's treatment plan. Financing plans are available to help cover one's gluteoplasty cost as well. For those wondering what transferring fat from the stomach into the buttocks price range is like, the fat transfer is typically a $5,000 addition on top of the fat removal cost.
Yes, patients can receive a Tiny Tuck (our minimally invasive skin tightening procedure below the belly button) in conjunction with a Bazilian buttock lift fat transfer. For recent mothers, getting our "mini" tummy tuck & buttock fat transfer is a great way to shape one's figure comprehensively and get back to one's pre-baby body.
One of the most common questions we receive is, "where can I get a natural AirSculpt fat transfer from the stomach to buttocks near me?" AirSculpt fat removal and transfer procedures are only available at our clinics; we currently have 30+ offices open nationwide with the best BBL doctors in the world and plan to continue expanding shortly!
In addition to the patented technology that enables unparalleled precision throughout the body sculpting process, our surgeons are specially trained and well-seasoned professionals dedicated to their craft's artistic and medical aspects. Our Brazilian butt lift surgery is made safer and more precise by the mechanical accuracy AirSculpt provides. Still, ultimately the dramatic results we provide can be attributed to the keen eye for body contouring each of our surgeons possesses and has acquired through rigorous training.
As long as you have finished wearing your garments for the period instructed by your surgeon, patients can wear butt or "booty" lifter garments. That said, we do not believe such products will provide much of an effect compared with the dramatic results delivered by AirSculpt.
Yes, we perform a natural fat transfer breast augmentation called the Up a Cup™.
Patients always stay awake during AirSculpt procedures, including natural fat transfer boob jobs such as the Up a Cup™. A key advantage of local anesthesia is that it drastically reduces risk throughout the treatment.
By enhancing your breasts naturally with your own fat, the Up a Cup™ will provide a lifting effect in addition to augmentation. However, a breast lift also includes cutting out excess skin, which AirSculpt procedures never do.
After enough fat has been harvested and treated, entry points are made precisely above the nipples around the areola, and under the breasts in the crease for a successful fat transfer.
AirSculpt procedures reduce the visibility of any entry points by creating them where they can be easily concealed, using an exclusive, two-millimeter-wide biopsy punch tool in place of scalpels. That said, the entry points underneath the breast crease, called the inframammary fold, will not be visible at all in a bikini due to their placement location. The entry points around the nipples may be visible initially, but this area heals quite quickly and will almost always appear scarless after recovery.
No, age will not affect the results of an AirSculpt fat transfer breast augmentation. The only requirement is that patients are over 18 years of age.
There is no specific quantity of fat we can or cannot transfer to the breasts. The answer depends on how much excess, harvestable fat the patient has and how much their body reabsorbs the grafted material.
Yes, AirSculpt fat transfers always give patients a natural look. The breasts are primarily made up of fat, so a graft procedure will allow them to look bigger but feel and move naturally.
We inject about 30 percent more material than needed during the procedure to account for natural reabsorption after a fat transfer. Thus, the results will be permanent after the body reabsorbs fat, even if a patient gains weight since the breasts tend to augment following weight gain.
No, a fat transfer to the breasts with AirSculpt does not cause pain. Patients report the sensation as similar to an electric toothbrush vibration.
Yes, the breasts are numbed before they are enhanced naturally, which explains why we can perform wide-awake breast augmentation fat transfers.
Compression bras should be worn for three weeks after an Up a Cup™ treatment, but patients should always listen to their surgeon's personalized instructions first and foremost.
Absolutely! As with any AirSculpt procedure, patients can work out two weeks after their treatment and are encouraged to begin taking walks even sooner.
The areola may stretch out slightly then return to normal after a fat transfer breast augmentation, but most patients do not experience this issue. Because the breasts are enlarged during the Up a Cup™, a slightly larger nipple will still appear proportionate to the surrounding areas.
AirSculpt's power-automated technology provides proportional results, even if a patient had unbalanced body features coming into treatment. The rapidly spinning mechanism of AirSculpt technology ensures that surgeons never have to guess when removing or transferring fat with mechanical precision. We also take special care to ascertain each patient's body goals or pre-existing asymmetries to ensure balanced proportions are achieved.
Most patients can return to work within three to five days of their fat transfer procedure but should refrain from exercising or going to the gym for up to two weeks unless advised otherwise by the surgeon. Patients will also be asked to avoid sleeping on and applying pressure to the treated area for two weeks. Results will be quite dramatic after about three months, with final changes expected six months after an Up a Cup™.
Swelling and bruising are normal and to be expected after an AirSculpt fat transfer to the boobs. These effects should dissipate within a couple of weeks, though it may take up to a month for them to fully subside.
As long as the patient's cancer doctor approves, we can absolutely perform the Up a Cup™ on someone with breast cancer. We can even treat just one breast to improve any asymmetries, with the only caveat being that we need an area to place the fat that is free of scarring. Patients looking for a breast reconstruction fat transfer can also receive this treatment with doctor approval.
We do not perform any implant removals; once a patient has had theirs taken out, we can certainly fill in the pocket where the implant formerly resided to augment the breasts naturally.
Women can receive the Up a Cup™ before or after pregnancy. We cannot perform a breast enhancement during a woman's pregnancy or if they are breastfeeding, however.
Women can absolutely breastfeed after their breast augmentation with fat transfer as long as they have fully recovered. Many women also receive this procedure for help with sagginess after breastfeeding as well.
Breastfeeding can cause the breasts to sag a bit. If you have already received an Up a Cup™ and then begin to breastfeed, you may experience some breast shape changes, but they will be minimal compared to untreated breasts.
AirSculpt fat transfers are fully customizable, so patients can have any part of their breast enhanced to their exact preference. This means we can transfer fat to and focus specifically on the side or underboob area if desired.
AirSculpt primarily removes fat but will also leave the skin of treated areas tighter than before. Thus, eliminating armpit fat during an Up a Cup™ procedure will help with skin tightening in this region to a certain extent. Furthermore, women with broader upper bodies can accentuate the hourglass look by removing back and armpit fat during their breast augmentation as well.
Patients require three post-op appointments. The first appointment takes place within one week of the procedure, the second about three months afterward, and the last roughly six months after.
One of the most common questions we receive is, "where can I get a natural AirSculpt breast fat transfer near me?" AirSculpt fat removal and transfer procedures are only available at our clinics, and we currently have over 30 offices open nationwide and have plans to continue expanding shortly! Call or message us today to learn more about our technique and what your fat transfer to breast cost would be.
The entry points for a hand rejuvenation is made on the upper part of the wrist on the top of the hand, made strategically near a crease to help conceal any scarring.
We only use a patient's own natural fat. Fillers use artificial chemicals that can cause unforeseen outcomes and uneven results.
Fat transferred to the hands will provide a smoother, more plumped-up look. Veins and tendons that have become visible will be covered up for good. Our precision-engineered fat transfer technique also provides a restorative effect for older patients who have experienced lost volume and crepey hands.
Patients should wait at least two weeks before wearing rings. Always follow your surgeons' specific instructions first.
Yes, you will be able to use your hands after a fat transfer. Restrictions are relatively minimal, with only gauze wrap required on the hands for the first few weeks after treatment.
Yes, you will be able to carry your child after the procedure. Restrictions are fairly minimal following a hand rejuvenation, with only gauze wrap required for the first few weeks after treatment.
Because AirSculpt® is minimally invasive, recovery is much quicker than with traditional liposuction-based fat transfers. Most patients return to normal activities, including work, playing instruments, or light cardio, within 48 hours. Beyond that point, restrictions are relatively minimal for hand rejuvenation patients, with gauze wrap being the primary requirement for the first few weeks after treatment. Strenuous exercise and activities that could interfere with the gauze wrap should be avoided for at least two weeks.
Fat removed during an AirSculpt® session is permanently removed and will not come back to that body part. If you gain weight after your procedure, the fat will appear anywhere but the treated area, so your new proportions tend to be preserved even in this scenario. We, therefore, recommend a healthy diet and exercise following your AirSculpt® treatment.
Regarding the area that was enhanced during an AirSculpt fat transfer, results will be permanent after the initial reabsorption that ensues any natural fat graft. Dramatic weight fluctuations can also affect results, although newly achieved proportions should remain relatively intact.
Fat can and typically is transferred to the fingers with AirSculpt.
By grafting fat in precise quantities, an AirSculpt hand rejuvenation will help plump up hands that are either naturally skinny or have lost volume over time.
Veins and tendons that have become visible will be fully concealed once the fat has settled, restoring a youthful look to the hands.
Patients should not drive home after the procedure and should refrain from driving for at least 24 hours after treatment.
Only a small amount of fat is actually transferred during a hand rejuvenation. Thus, while the procedure will provide more aesthetic, natural-looking hands, the proportion to the rest of the arms should not be affected.
AirSculpt does provide some skin tightening during the procedure, but if loose skin is your main concern, you might want to consider other options like a pubic lift. If you are still looking to remove fat and take care of your loose skin, you can always do our AirSculpt procedure first and take care of your loose skin after recovery if need be.
Three entry points are made along the waistline: one directly on the pubic mound and one on each groin crease. One additional entry point is also made near the belly button.
We can use the same C-section scar to remove pubic fat and avoid creating additional entry points.
Yes, men can also treat their pubic area with AirSculpt.
You will be able to bend down after receiving Pubic AirSculpt thanks to the delicate, precise mechanism by which this technology removes fat.
Pubic AirSculpt will not affect the appearance of the labia.
An AirSculpt treatment does not cause hair loss on the pubic region or anywhere else on the body.
Tummy tucks are primarily focused on tightening loose abdominal walls and removing excess skin or tissue. Fat removal via liposuction is often included in these procedures, though such treatments are quite invasive and require general anesthesia. AirSculpt focuses solely on permanent, precision-engineered fat removal. While this patented procedure will provide minor skin tightening, it does not tighten muscle walls or remove loose skin.
Patients may have some minor bruising and swelling for about two weeks, but the pain should be mild and will begin to subside after this period. Thanks to the delicate plucking motion AirSculpt technology uses to remove fat, patients recover far more quickly than traditional pubic liposuction and often return to work the very next day.
A tummy tuck focuses on removing loose skin and tightening the general abdominal area. While fat removal is often included in these procedures, they often use outdated techniques like traditional lipo, far less precise than AirSculpt. Uneven or underdone results could necessitate a pubic or even full abdominal treatment to correct such blemishes.
Patients can combine any of our treatments for a mommy makeover, including full abdominal and pubic fat removal along with the Tiny Tuck. The typical AirSculpt Mommy Makeover also includes a fat transfer breast enhancement and Lower Back AirSculpt.
The pubic and tailbone regions are two popular options patients often target simultaneously, as doing so will provide a permanently flatter, toned look.
As long as you wish for minimal pain and maximum results, then Back AirSculpt® is right for you. We have no BMI or age limits, so if you are wondering if this treatment is the right one, schedule your free consultation today!
We use no needle, no scalpel, no stitches, and no general anesthesia, and furthermore, our minimally invasive technique allows for a faster recovery, meaning patients don't have to worry about needing months to heal. Because we are less intrusive than competitors, who often provide rough, unbalanced results, we leave patients with the smooth and balanced figure they so badly crave. This all means no more love handles, and no more pesky insecurities.
Rather than noninvasive procedures that make lofty claims they never seem to meet, AirSculpt® combines tried-and-true methods with patented technology to deliver dramatic results. Our specialized technology allows surgeons to delicately pluck your fat by the cell, providing the symmetrical results patients desire.
AirSculpt® is far safer than traditional, laser, and ultrasonic liposuction, or even other minimally invasive approaches. These all come with a slew of potential hazards avoided by the signature AirSculpt® technique. With no needle, scalpel, stitches, or general anesthesia, we avoid abundant risks. Using established methods that innovate upon the best aspects of various forms of fat removal procedures, AirSculpt® is more effective than noninvasive methods that come with significant guessowrk.

Thanks to our meticulous and gentle fat removal technique, downtime is shorter, healing is quicker, and you can walk right out of your procedure. Far less pain is involved with only minor soreness following your treatment.
Different from other clinics, we provide you with custom and comfortable compression garments—making sure your fat is gone, and your skin is tighter. These should be worn for two weeks following your AirSculpt® procedure. Most patients can return to work within one to three days, but you should avoid exercise and strenuous activity for roughly two weeks. Expect your doctor to provide additional instructions personalized to your specific requirements.
The frictional heating generated during the AirSculpt® fat removal process provides some skin tightening effects when combined with adequate use of the complementary compression garments provided. This technique can lessen the appearance of cellulite, leaving your skin looking natural and smooth. Patients seeking more dramatic skin tightening should opt for AirSculpt+.
We can take up to five liters of fat from a patient during one session. Furthermore, the way we remove fat is far more gentle than back lipo, a comparatively harsh and manual treatment that requires extensive recovery time.
AirSculpt's power-automated technology provides proportional results, even if a patient had unbalanced body features coming into treatment. AirSculpt surgeons never have to guess when removing or transferring fat with mechanical precision. We also take special care to ascertain each patient's body goals or pre-existing asymmetries to achieve balanced proportions. Furthermore, our patented back fat removal technique is far more time and cost-effective than noninvasive procedures, which requires multiple sessions and cannot remove fat directly.
A back lift surgery is an invasive procedure dedicated to removing and tightening excess skin on the back. Lipo for back fat, comparatively, focuses solely on removing stubborn subcutaneous fat. Back AirSculpt, meanwhile, also removes stubborn fat, but it does so with significantly less invasiveness than liposuction on the back. AirSculpt also provides a degree of skin tightening during the same process, which means many patients who thought they needed a lift and lipo for their back fat can often get our one-and-done treatment instead!
For the upper back area, four total entry points are made: one entry point in each armpit and one on each side of the waist. When targeting the buffalo hump, one entry point is made in the middle of the upper back. For the tailbone, one entry point is made just above the buttock crease on the back. Finally, if a patient is sculpting the entire back, we'll also usually create an entry point on each hip to provide the most dramatic results possible.
AirSculpt will provide the buffalo hump and lower back region with a permanently flatter look by directly removing fat cells one by one with mechanical precision.
One entry point is made on the upper back/buffalo hump, directly in the middle of the back.
Patients often do enjoy better posture after a buffalo hump procedure.
Fat removed during an AirSculpt® session is permanently removed and will not come back to that body part. If you gain weight after your procedure, the fat will appear anywhere but the treated area, so your new proportions tend to be preserved even in this scenario. We, therefore, recommend a healthy diet and exercise following your AirSculpt® treatment.
While AirSculpt always leaves the treated area's skin tighter than before, this is not a lift or skin tightening procedure. AirSculpt focuses on removing stubborn fat and leaves the skin tighter in the process, but that is not the main focus.
Fat underneath and around the bra straps on the back is considered part of the back bra roll / upper back treatment area. Fat on the sides closer to the armpits is considered part of the front bra roll.
Back Bra Roll AirSculpt does not directly affect breast size. However, by slimming the torso and upper body, this procedure makes the breasts appear more prominent.
Four total entry points are made: one entry point in each armpit and one on each side of the waist.
We can take up to five liters of fat from a patient during one session. Most patients don't have a full five liters of excess fat in their back bra rolls alone, but they can get closer to that amount by targeting their front bra rolls.
AirSculpt's power-automated technology provides proportional results, even if a patient had unbalanced body features coming into treatment. AirSculpt surgeons never have to guess when removing or transferring fat with mechanical precision. We also take special care to ascertain each patient's body goals or pre-existing asymmetries to ensure balanced proportions are achieved.
Patients should avoid laying down on their back for two weeks, including sleeping on their sides or stomach for the duration of this period.
The front and back bra rolls and the stomach are all considered separate treatment areas. Each of these procedures can be combined seamlessly or done individually.
Two of the entry points for Back Bra Roll AirSculpt are naturally concealable in the armpit crease, while the other two on the waist area will appear like tiny freckles. Because AirSculpt only requires a minuscule entryway two millimeters wide, the incision heals far more quickly and seamlessly than traditional liposuction. Patients do not require stitches, and once fully healed, their perfectly symmetrical scars wind up looking like tiny freckles if they do become scars at all.
Fat removed during an AirSculpt® session is permanently removed and will not come back to that body part. If you gain weight after your procedure, the fat will appear anywhere but the treated area, so your new proportions tend to be preserved even in this scenario. We, therefore, recommend a healthy diet and exercise following your AirSculpt® treatment.
With AirSculpt, there are no sessions – every procedure provides permanent results with a single one-and-done treatment. We cannot guarantee a flat back after Back Bra Roll AirSculpt, but patients will experience a dramatic reduction of bra roll fat no matter what.
Patients typically treat the tailbone/lower back region along with their back, waist, or stomach. That said, the tailbone fat pad can be sculpted entirely on its own.
Yes, sculpting the tailbone will provide a more sloped figure that accentuates one’s natural contours, thereby helping to make the butt look curvier.
Most patients describe the sensation of AirSculpt as similar to an electric toothbrush. Thanks to the use of a topical numbing solution and local anesthetic, practically no pain is experienced during the treatment.
The tailbone and lower back swell to a moderate degree that largely depends on one’s genetic makeup. Swelling and bruising begin to subside around two weeks after an AirSculpt treatment.
Results will be apparent as soon as you leave the procedure, though they will really start becoming noticeable once swelling and bruising subsides after a couple of days or weeks. After three months, truly dramatic results and a dramatically narrower lower back region will be present.
A broken tailbone should not affect the procedure as long as the healing process has been fully completed. Patients should mention any past injuries to treatment areas to their surgeon during the initial consultation and gain approval from their physician if on the fence about getting AirSculpt.
Treating the lower back/tailbone alone will not affect waist size. If this procedure is done in conjunction with a stomach and flank treatment, as is often the case, then waist size may decrease sometime afterward.
Tailbone AirSculpt alone can help draw out one’s natural hourglass figure by removing stubborn lower back fat and sculpting sharper contours. That said, patients without a genetic hourglass figure may want to treat their outer thighs and waist, along with receiving a fat transfer to the buttocks or hips for a more comprehensive transformation.
Patients can target tailbone fat and augment their buttocks simultaneously, as doing so can help accentuate one’s natural feminine curvature.
The pubic and tailbone regions are two popular options patients often target simultaneously, as doing so will provide a permanently flatter, toned look.
One entry point is made just above the buttock crease on the back.

If you want to tighten loose or overhanging skin on the abdominal region, we recommend the Tiny Tuck. For permanent stomach fat removal, we recommend AirSculpt.
We have no age limits for the stomach or any other body parts.
We can’t guarantee a six-pack, but patients with even marginal abdominal muscles often end up with a fully defined six-pack after their treatment.
Stomach AirSculpt removes stubborn fat from the upper and lower abdominal regions, the waist, and love handles. The 48-Hour Six Pack specifically targets fat concealing and surrounding the stomach muscles to etch a permanent set of sculpted abs.
As long as you have trouble with fatty spots in or around your abdominal area that you want to remove, this is the procedure for you. We have no BMI or age restrictions, so don’t hesitate to schedule your free consultation today!
Regardless of your goals, our surgeons make sure only to target the pockets of fat preventing you from looking your best. See for yourself in both our testimonials and before-and-after photos.
AirSculpt is not a weight-loss procedure, but patients commonly lose weight following their procedure. This stems from the newfound motivation they often experience to maintain their new proportions and accentuate their sculpted figure following AirSculpt.
For the full abdomen, we create an entry point on the side of either torso, one near the belly button, one on each hip, and three just above the waistline in the front of the stomach.
Because AirSculpt only requires a minuscule entryway two millimeters wide, the incision heals far more quickly and seamlessly than traditional liposuction. Patients do not require stitches, and once fully healed, their perfectly symmetrical scars wind up looking like tiny freckles.
Yes! We have no BMI requirement, so high BMI patients can absolutely receive AirSculpt.
The amount of time required to complete a full abdominal AirSculpt can vary depending on the amount of fat to be removed. In general, this procedure takes between 90 minutes and four hours.
Yes! Our Mommy Makeover procedure includes AirSculpt of the full abdomen, pubic, and lower back/tailbone regions, plus a Tiny Tuck™ and Up a Cup™ Breast Augmentation. Patients can pick and choose between any of these procedures for their mommy makeover.
Being able to consistently and precisely deliver the hourglass figure was one of the core reasons we invented AirSculpt. We sculpt the hourglass figure whenever requested by strategically removing stomach, flank, and waist fat, as well as performing an all-natural Power BBL™ or HipFlip™ when deemed necessary.
Absolutely! The stomach is one of the most popular areas patients combine with a fat transfer, as large amounts of fat from regions like the abdomen are needed for transfers to the breasts or buttocks. Patients can also transfer stomach fat to just their hips or their hands as well.
Stomach AirSculpt will help address the stomach fold to a certain degree, but the Tiny Tuck would be a more direct solution for loose or overhanging belly skin.
We can remove as much fat as a patient wants removed from the stomach up to the state limit, which is typically five liters.
You can absolutely target just the lower stomach. Typically, we treat the upper and lower abdomen together but if requested specifically we can target them individually.
You can absolutely target just the upper stomach. Typically, we treat the upper and lower abdomen together but if requested specifically we can target them individually.
AirSculpt will absolutely provide you with a flatter, more toned stomach. However, results depend on where a patient is starting from, so we cannot guarantee a flat stomach after AirSculpt. The best results are achieved among those who are in moderately good shape before their procedure.
Swelling is normal and to be expected after AirSculpt. Swelling should dissipate within a couple of weeks, though it may take up to a month for it to fully subside.
Bruising is entirely normal and to be expected after AirSculpt. Every patient’s body heals differently but bruising typically only lasts a couple of weeks to a month.
With AirSculpt, there are no sessions – every procedure provides permanent results with a single one-and-done treatment.
Recommended downtime is typically around 48 hours, and because AirSculpt® patients endure far less risk, they can walk out under their own power right after the procedure. Some have even reported running an errand or going out to a light dinner soon after their abdominal sculpting treatment.
Most can return to work within three to five days of their procedure, but patients should refrain from exercising or going to the gym for up to two weeks unless advised otherwise by the surgeon. We also ask patients to begin taking walks as soon as they can after Stomach AirSculpt.
AirSculpt was designed to help patients heal with only a freckle-sized mark to show at each entry point! Scars are also made in creases or folds when possible, allowing patients to easily conceal them even when wearing bathing suits!
Patients require three post-op appointments. The first appointment takes place within one week of the procedure, the second about three months afterward, and the last roughly six months after.
Women can absolutely get the AirSculpt® 48-Hour Six Pack™. It should be noted that those with some already existing abdominal muscle will likely obtain the best results.
Two entry points are created on the side of either torso, one near the belly button, one just above the waistline in the front of the stomach, and two more on each flank just above each hip bone.
First and foremost, the power-automated mechanism of AirSculpt technology provides surgeons more precision and artistic capabilities when sculpting the abs. Furthermore, patients will be asked to flex before their procedure and have their abs outlined, which gives the surgeon a better idea of the exact locations where targeted fat removal will make the abs more pronounced.
It is certainly possible to remove five liters of fat from the stomach, though it should be noted that we cannot go above that quantity due to state restrictions.
Results will be apparent as soon as you leave the procedure, though they will really start becoming noticeable once swelling and bruising subsides after a couple of days or weeks. After three months, truly dramatic results and a set of sculpted abs should have appeared.
AirSculpt can definitely get rid of a beer belly, though we would likely recommend Stomach AirSculpt rather than an abdominal etching procedure for this purpose. Note that we only target subcutaneous, pinchable fat, which tends to be responsible for beer bellies.
Garments are worn for a full two weeks unless instructed otherwise by your surgeons. You may take off your compression garment for a brief time when you shower or when you are washing it. During the second week, breaks for an hour or two are permitted.

Entry points look like a small freckle-sized mark at worst. Thanks to our symmetrical, two-millimeter wide biopsy punch tool, patients heal far more seamlessly than invasive procedures like liposuction, which use scalpels to create wide incisions. In fact, entry points don’t even require stitches to fully heal!
Located at the bottom of the abs where the stomach and obliques meet, the V-cut is a coveted feature that AirSculpt can both create and make more pronounced with unmatched accuracy.
AirSculpt® does not have a weight limit and does not have any restrictions on size. As long as you have fat to remove, you can generally receive AirSculpt®

AirSculpt is the most innovative fat removal procedure available, thanks to its patented, mechanical design that allows surgeons to remove fat permanently and contour a thinner waistline.
A muffin top and spare tire refer to the same concept – excess fat accumulated on a patient’s flanks.
One entry point is made on each of the patient’s sides near the hips, plus two more on either side further up on the ribcage.
AirSculpt can target fat 360 degrees around the waist, stomach, and back, including the area many refer to as the muffin top. In fact, we almost always recommend treating around the stomach to preserve this cosmetic unit’s natural symmetry.
Yes, this procedure will enhance your curves thanks to the unparalleled finesse AirSculpt technology provides our surgeons throughout the body sculpting process.
Patients should refrain from wearing a waist trainer for at least six months after their procedure. We recommend chatting with your surgeon if you wish to begin waist training, although results should be permanent and dramatic enough to dissuade the need to do so.
If they do form, scars will appear as two-millimeter-wide freckle-sized marks wherever an entry point was made.
Firstly, the surgeon will conduct a thorough inspection of the patient’s body to determine if an asymmetric fat distribution exists. If one does, the surgeon will mark the body appropriately and use power-automated AirSculpt technology to remove slightly more material from that side. Everything we do aims to maintain symmetry throughout the treated cosmetic unit and the body as a whole.
AirSculpt procedures specialize in providing women with the coveted hourglass figure. If the patient had this shape prior to AirSculpt, we aim to accentuate their curves dramatically with targeted fat removal; for patients born without the hourglass figure, our patented treatment can help enhance the butt, narrow the waist, and sculpt the coveted thigh gap.
One entry point is made on each of the patient’s sides near the hips, plus two to three made on the front of the waistline.
A muffin top and spare tire refer to the same concept – excess fat accumulated on a patient’s flanks.
If stomach overhang over a patient’s waistline stems from excess subcutaneous fat and not considerable loose skin, AirSculpt can help alleviate that issue. However, it should be noted that AirSculpt alone is not a skin tightening procedure.
Yes, men can remove love handle fat with AirSculpt as well!
Absolutely! Patients can use fat from almost any part of their body to complete a HipFlip™, including the muffin top or waist.
Yes, patients can target just their love handles or flank fat with AirSculpt.
Because AirSculpt removes fat cells directly and permanently, your new proportions will be maintained even if you gain weight after the procedure. Fat may return to other parts of the body but the muffin top will not re-appear.
There is no specific BMI requirement for AirSculpt®.
AirSculpt® does not have a weight limit and does not have any restrictions on size. As long as you have fat to remove, you can generally receive AirSculpt®
If they do form, scars will appear like small, symmetrical freckle-sized marks wherever an entry point was made.
Patients require three post-op appointments. The first appointment takes place within one week of the procedure, the second about three months afterward, and the last roughly six months after.
Liposuction of the love handles, and tummy lipo as a whole, is a manual treatment that cannot target select areas with precision. AirSculpt is patented technology only available at our clinics that allows our surgeons to sculpt smaller, hard-to-reach areas like the love handles with mechanical accuracy. All of this is done with the patient remaining awake using no scalpels, needles, or stitches.
Yes! We absolutely can sculpt men’s love handles, full abdominal areas, chest, or any other desired regions.
Whereas nonsurgical treatments require various sessions and months of waiting to see a moderate degree of fat reduction, AirSculpt is a one-and-done, minimally invasive procedure that seamlessly removes fat for permanent results. Patients see a noticeable difference as soon as they leave the AirSculpt® office, with only a day or two of needed downtime.
Cosmetic treatment prices fluctuate widely depending on location, individual body characteristics, office availability, and much more. While we cannot provide an exact price estimate, we can confidently say AirSculpt offers the best value in the short and long term due to our treatment’s instant results, short recovery, precision-engineered technology, and lasting changes.
Yes, the Tiny Tuck™ specifically targets loose skin below the belly button, including on the lower abdomen and flanks.
A Tiny Tuck can remove loose skin below the belly button without general anesthesia, drains, or massive scarring. The more invasive tummy tuck can target loose skin above the belly button and also suture the abdominal walls.
Patients first have their skin numbed with a topical anesthetic, distributed via an AirPen instead of uncomfortable needles. Next, we create an incision below the belly button near the waistline and apply a local anesthetic, which is far safer than general anesthesia used during traditional tummy tucks. Next, the surgeon will pull the skin down to provide a tighter lower abdomen and waist, especially helpful for those looking to address loose skin after a C-Section. This procedure does not readjust the belly button and avoids the use of drains and tubes, allowing patients to heal more quickly.
The incision made for a Tiny Tuck™ is located along the waistline just above the pubic region.
During the first couple of days after the procedure, patients should remain mostly sedentary and follow their surgeon’s specific instructions. The dissolvable stitches and lack of drains allow for a relatively straightforward recovery, and patients can return to work after that initial window of two to three days of downtime. About two weeks are needed before patients can begin performing strenuous exercise again, though we do recommend walking soon after the treatment to encourage circulation.
No, the Tiny Tuck™ does not require catheter drains unlike stomach liposuction.
Yes, Tiny Tuck™ results are considered to be permanent. That said, weight gain or considerable lifestyle changes could always cause effects to diminish or change over time.
Patients should be mostly sedentary for two to three days after the Tiny Tuck™, then can begin taking walks to get their circulation flowing again.
The scar after a Tiny Tuck™ will appear across the waistline and above the pubic region and is far less sizable than a tummy tuck scar.
Patients should avoid laying on their stomachs for two weeks after a Tiny Tuck™, meaning they should only sleep on their backs after treatment.
Patients can begin taking walks two to three days after their Tiny Tuck™, and resume strenuous activity after about two weeks, pending surgeon approval.
Steri strips are small pieces of adhesive that are used to help close wounds and promote healing. These will be placed on the incision along with the dissolvable stitches to ensure a complete recovery.
Steri strips do tend to fall off on their own after about a week to a week and a half.
Patients can certainly receive the Tiny Tuck™ and a fat transfer breast augmentation. This combination, along with a stomach and lower back treatment, comprises the AirSculpt Mommy Makeover.
A Tiny Tuck™ can help with stretch marks as long as they are located below the belly button. Perfect combination for a mommy lift.
We recommend waiting until after a patient has given birth and does not plan to get pregnant again before receiving the Tiny Tuck™.
The Tiny Tuck™ does not repair or suture the muscles along the abdomen, as this type of procedure requires a more invasive tummy tuck.
The Tiny Tuck™ lasts about 90 to 120 minutes on its own, but can take longer if combined with additional AirSculpt fat removal or transfer.
Contrary to plastic surgery patients stay awake for every AirSculpt procedure, including the Tiny Tuck™. Avoiding general anesthesia drastically reduces patient risk and allows the surgeon to maneuver patients during treatment to ensure balanced results.
Although we cannot promise you will lose your double chin, many of our patients lose a majority, if not all, of the appearance of a double chin. At the very least, we remove a majority of submental fat and help sharpen the jawline.
A single entry point is made directly under the chin, and two more are made on either side of the head under each ear. Unlike double chin lipo, we never use scalpels to create massive incisions but instead use a tool called a biopsy punch to seamlessly create tiny, two-millimeter wide entry points that heal without stitches.
Patients typically require just a couple of days to return to work, and bruising and swelling should subside within two weeks to a month. Compare that with traditional double chin liposuction, which requires several painful weeks of downtime and a lengthy recovery process that lasts several months.
Yes, we provide a chin garment. Garments are worn for a full two weeks unless instructed otherwise by your surgeons. You may take off your compression garment for a brief time when you shower or when you are washing it. During the second week, breaks for an hour or two are permitted.
Bruising varies dramatically on a case-by-case basis. That being said, most patients experience light to moderate bruising around their chin and neck that ultimately subsides within a couple of weeks.
Thanks to the precise and mechanized nature of AirSculpt technology, we can minimize swelling and keep it quite light. Patients who become swollen should begin to see it subside within two weeks, though this may vary from person to person and could take up to a month.
Most patients describe the sensation of Chin AirSculpt as similar to an electric toothbrush. Thanks to the use of a topical numbing solution and local anesthetic, practically no pain is experienced during the treatment.
While AirSculpt always leaves the treated area’s skin tighter than before, this is not a neck lift or skin tightening procedure. AirSculpt focuses on removing stubborn submental fat and helping improve skin laxity in the process, but that is not the main focus.
Chin AirSculpt procedures tend to go relatively quickly, with most lasting between 20 and 40 minutes to complete. Compare that with invasive chin lipo, which can last hours and requires most patients to be under general anesthesia.
Most patients need about two weeks for swelling and bruising to subside after Chin AirSculpt. However, routine activities (outside of strenuous exercise) and daily walks can be resumed as soon as the day after treatment.
No, we do not target areas of the face above the chin. Chin AirSculpt solely addresses the submental region.
Chin AirSculpt feels like a gentle, mechanical vibration. Most patients say it feels most similar to an electric toothbrush.
Absolutely! We have no age limits, so elderly patients looking to remove stubborn turkey neck fat can certainly receive this procedure.
Yes, Chin AirSculpt removes fat throughout the submental region, including the chin and upper neck areas under the ears.
Yes, you can fix a botched Kybella procedure with AirSculpt. Our Injection Correction treatment was specifically designed to sculpt away uneven or overdone results by restoring natural balance and smoothness to the chin.
Absolutely! Our precision-engineered technology is the best way to even out lumps, bumps, or asymmetrical chin liposuction results.
Patients require three post-op appointments. The first appointment takes place within one week of the procedure, the second about three months afterward, and the last roughly six months after.
Chin AirSculpt prices begin at around $6,000, comparable to what most providers offer as their double chin lipo cost range. This number can vary depending on one’s location, amount of fat to be removed, combined procedures, and various other factors.
One of the most common questions we receive is, “where can I get AirSculpt chin lipo near me?” AirSculpt fat removal and transfer procedures are only available at our clinics; we currently have over 30 offices open nationwide and plan to continue expanding shortly!
Gynecomastia is the swelling of male breast tissue caused by an imbalance in hormones, typically due to one’s genetic composition.
The AirSculpt Male Breast Reduction was explicitly designed to help men sculpt stubborn fat in this region.
Yes, AirSculpt works on both gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia. It should be noted that we are strictly a fat removal procedure and do not remove excess glandular tissue.
AirSculpt specializes in permanently removing fat and revealing a sculpted, muscular chest. Patients are still encouraged to engage in routine exercise after treatment to maintain their results, but a toned appearance will be achieved no matter what.
AirSculpt only works in the subcutaneous fat layer and never affects one’s glands. It should be noted that we are strictly a fat removal procedure and do not remove excess glandular tissue.
An entry point is made right underneath each chest on the front of the torso and another underneath each armpit. These entry points are made with a specialized biopsy punch tool that seamlessly creates a minuscule, two-millimeter-wide entryway instead of the painful scalpels and large incisions used in gynecomastia liposuction.
Because AirSculpt only requires a minuscule entryway two millimeters wide, the incision heals far more quickly and seamlessly than traditional gynecomastia lipo. Patients do not require stitches, and once fully healed, their perfectly symmetrical scars wind up looking like tiny freckles.
Fat removed during an AirSculpt® session is permanently removed and will not come back to that body part. If you gain weight after your procedure, the fat will appear anywhere but the treated area, so your new proportions tend to be preserved even in this scenario. We, therefore, recommend a healthy diet and exercise following your AirSculpt® treatment.
Patients can begin taking walks right away after their male chest reduction and resume strenuous activity after about two to three weeks, pending surgeon approval.
AirSculpt is minimally invasive and does not require any drains, unlike more invasive, liposuction-based versions of “gyno surgery.”
A customized, specially designed garment covering the entire chest and upper abdominal region is provided. Surgeons will give you more specific instructions, but this garment should be worn until two weeks after treatment.
Massages are not needed after any AirSculpt procedure, including Leg AirSculpt. More abrasive treatments like full leg liposuction often require massages because of their invasive and manual technique.
Patients not only can walk but are instructed to walk for at least 45 minutes after any procedure to help encourage healing.
The amount of time required to complete a Leg AirSculpt procedure can vary depending on the amount of fat to be removed. In general, this procedure takes between 90 minutes and four hours.
Patients should wait two to three weeks before resuming strenuous exercise like serious running.
We absolutely suggest walking and even require patients to do so for 45 minutes per day after any AirSculpt procedure.
Treating the outer thighs and love handles alone can help lessen the appearance of hip dips. That said, the best way to round out the hips is by combining such procedures with a fat transfer to the buttocks or hips.
Patients with fat that they can pinch are perfect candidates for AirSculpt. Those without pinchable, excess fat, and only loose or excess skin would be better suited for a lower body lift. Feel free to call any of our offices to help determine which leg contouring surgery is best for you.
Yes, you can wear tight clothing after AirSculpt.
The amount of excess subcutaneous fat a patient has coming into the procedure is the main factor that determines how much leg thinning one experiences after AirSculpt. Loose skin can also play a secondary role as well.
AirSculpt always leaves the treated area’s skin tighter than before, so getting the fat removed first with AirSculpt can be a viable option if a patient has excess fat and skin. If the loose skin is still an issue after treatment, or if a patient doesn’t have much extra fat to begin with, then a skin tightening treatment may be a better option.
AirSculpt does treat conditions like lipedema and lymphedema if there is excess fat in the subcutaneous layer that needs to be removed. The procedure allows for as much lymphatic drainage as possible while giving patients more balanced proportions and instant relief from pain-inducing fat accumulation.
Some patients may experience a degree of improvement afterward, but AirSculpt is not a designated cellulite treatment.
AirSculpt can treat the entire leg region, including the banana rolls, front, inner and outer thighs, knees, calves, and ankles. Patients can also target just one or any combination of those areas, as AirSculpt was designed to be fully customizable. For example, instead of getting upper thigh liposuction, patients can get Front and Inner Thigh AirSculpt and direct the surgeon only to target the upper parts of their legs.
Swelling will develop after the procedure and begin to subside after about one week following treatment. Patients heal far more quickly with AirSculpt than with traditional legs liposuction, which may require several months of recovery.
Yes, Leg AirSculpt patients are provided a specially designed garment that should be worn for the period stipulated by the surgeon (usually two to three weeks).
Yes, AirSculpt can target the calves alone or in conjunction with surrounding areas like the knees.
Unlike the weeks of bed rest needed after calf or leg fat liposuction, patients can and are instructed to walk for at least 45 minutes after any procedure to help encourage healing.
Yes, our exclusive ankle treatment is called the CANKcüre, which targets either the ankles alone or the cankles, including the calves and ankles.
No. We do not offer AirSculpt fat transfers to the calves or ankles.

Patients with fat that they can pinch are perfect candidates for AirSculpt. Those without pinchable, excess fat and only loose or excess skin would be better suited for a lift.
AirSculpt can help patients at any stage of lipedema as long as they specifically want to reduce pain-inducing subcutaneous fat. While this is not necessarily a cure for the condition, it will improve any discomfort or aesthetic issues.
With AirSculpt, there are no sessions – every procedure provides permanent results with a single one-and-done treatment.
While AirSculpt always leaves the treated area’s skin tighter than before, this is not a thigh lift or skin tightening procedure. AirSculpt focuses primarily on removing stubborn fat; we do leave the skin tighter in the process, but that is not the main focus.
Four entry points are made in total—one on each outer thigh near the pelvis and one in the middle of each outer thigh about a foot further down the leg, between the knee and pelvis.
Yes, you can wear tight clothing after AirSculpt.

AirSculpt procedures specialize in providing women with the coveted hourglass figure. If the patient had this shape prior to AirSculpt, we aim to accentuate their curves dramatically with targeted fat removal; for patients born without the hourglass figure, our patented treatment can help enhance the butt, narrow the waist, and sculpt the coveted thigh gap.
Two entry points are made at the top of the thighs, just outside of the groin creases; two more halfway down each inner thigh toward the knee; and two more on the inside of each knee.
The amount of time required to complete this procedure can vary depending on the amount of fat that needs to be removed. That said, this treatment generally takes between 60 minutes and 90 minutes.
We can take up to five liters of fat from a patient during one session. Most patients don’t have a full five liters of excess fat in their thighs alone, but they can get closer to that amount by targeting other areas too.
Patients with fat that they can pinch are perfect candidates for AirSculpt. Those without pinchable, excess fat and only loose or excess skin would be better suited for a lift.

AirSculpt on the thighs and banana rolls can help make the buttocks look more shapely, but the best way to enhance one’s backside is with an all-natural PowerBBL
AirSculpt’s power-automated technology provides proportional results, even if a patient had unbalanced body features coming into treatment. The rapidly spinning mechanism of AirSculpt technology ensures that surgeons never have to guess when removing or transferring fat with mechanical precision. We also take special care to ascertain each patient’s body goals or pre-existing asymmetries to ensure balanced proportions are achieved.
Six entry points are made in total—one on each outer thigh near the pelvis, one in the middle of each outer thigh about a foot further down the leg, between the knee and pelvis, and then one underneath each buttock just above the back of the upper thigh.
Patients with fat that they can pinch are perfect candidates for AirSculpt. Those without pinchable, excess fat and only loose or excess skin would be better suited for a lift.

AirSculpt® combines all the best fat removal techniques on the market with our patented technology to provide the most gentle, yet effective, body contouring option available today. Specifically, procedures such as our CankCure™ offer precise ankle contouring and lasting cankle reduction. We set the highest standard by combining our ability to target problem areas precisely—like the ankles and calves for optimal cankle reduction—while minimizing post-procedure downtime and providing naturally smooth ankle contouring results.
Minimally invasive AirSculpt® renders older procedures like liposuction obsolete. Patented technology only available at our clinics, AirSculpt® removes unwanted fat through a freckle-sized hole cell-by-cell without the need for needles, scalpels, or stitches. This treatment is performed under local anesthesia to minimize patient risk, and our technique also helps make your skin tighter for smooth and natural results.
Designed to be the most comfortable experience you’ve ever had, the AirSculpt® process makes sure to sculpt your body into the exact figure you desire. Our surgeons and nurses will ensure you feel at ease the entire time. After you’re done, you can walk right out, and with less than 24 hours of downtime, you’ll only feel soreness and minimal pain manageable with just Ibuprofen.
Most can return to work within two to four days, although we do ask that you avoid strenuous activity and exercise for about two weeks. Expect your surgeon to provide additional instructions personalized to your specific requirements. You will see dramatic results right away and a complete transformation in no more than three months.
Dr. Rollins designed AirSculpt® to be soft on the lymphatic system, meaning bruising and swelling are severely reduced. While you should always communicate with your nurses and surgeon to be sure of post-op requirements, the painful lymphatic massages necessary after traditional liposuction are generally not required. Other practices may ask you to buy your own compression garments, but they vary so much on a patient-to-patient basis that AirSculpt® ALWAYS equips you with the right one for you at no added cost. Wearing them for the duration recommended by your surgeon will provide optimal results.
- Specially designed compression garments fitted to the patient's size are provided. These garments extend from the waist down to the calf and ankle region.
- If you have soft, pinchable fat on the calf or ankle region, then you're a good candidate.
Those without pinchable fat on the calf and ankle would not be candidates. Excess muscle or bone in the region can cause some protrusion, so there must be excess fat for us to remove.
We usually also treat nearby areas on the lower extremities, such as the knees, inner thighs, or banana rolls.
Patients not only can walk but are instructed to walk for at least 45 minutes after any procedure to help encourage healing.
When targeting the calf and ankle region, AirSculpt enhances muscle structure and sculpts a toned, gradually tapering leg. The primary goal is to remove ankle fat and reveal a naturally toned, even muscular appearance. The ankle bone may become more pronounced, but that is not the procedure's main objective.
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.
For the underarm region, one entry point is made on each elbow to provide access to the front and back of each underarm, one on the front of each arm where the bicep meets the forearm, and one additional entry point for each armpit. When targeting the front bra roll, three entry points are made on each side: one on the back of the armpit crease where the arm meets torso, one several inches directly below on the side of the torso even with the breast, and one more on the waist.
Patients are encouraged to walk a couple of days after their procedure, but no targeted arm stretching is required.
Patients can keep breastfeeding up until their procedure but will have to abstain from breastfeeding after any AirSculpt treatment until their surgeon gives approval.
Patients are advised to take walks and other forms of light movement as soon as a day after AirSculpt but should wait at least two weeks before resuming strenuous activity.
Arm AirSculpt patients will be able to lift their arms immediately after their procedure. While soreness and bruising may linger for a couple of weeks, these shouldn’t prevent you from raising your arms.
AirSculpt always leaves a treated area’s skin tighter than before, but our primary focus is always fat removal rather than skin tightening. Patients who have vast amounts of fat removed may want to consider a skin tightening procedure like J-Plasma afterward. In contrast, those who had smaller amounts removed will experience sufficient skin tightening effects from AirSculpt alone.
Older patients and those with elastic skin may experience some sagging after having significant amounts of fat removed. Still, while this is a fat removal and not a skin tightening treatment, the skin will always be left tighter than before after AirSculpt. Patients looking only to tighten or eliminate excess skin and not remove fat may be better suited for an arm lift.
AirSculpt helps improve the arm muscles’ definition, specifically in the tricep region, while also permanently removing stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise.
Our AirSculpt arm fat removal surgery can target the armpits alone or as part of a broader arm or back treatment as well!
Results are apparent as soon as you leave the operating room, but they will only continue to get better up to six months after AirSculpt.
We can remove as much fat as a patient wants removed from the arms. Most state limits for fat removal are around five liters, and the arms never have that much excess fat.
AirSculpt never affects the muscle but will enhance its definition by removing subcutaneous fat covering it.
Corrective AirSculpt procedures are uniquely equipped to handle botched arm procedures with either targeted fat removal alone or a fat transfer to the arms as well.
Patients require three post-op appointments. The first appointment takes place within one week of the procedure, the second about three months afterward, and the last roughly six months after.
The underarm and front bra roll are considered separate areas with AirSculpt®. Patients can treat each area alone, treat the entire arm, or treat any other area of the body along with their bra rolls and underarms.
For the underarm region, one entry point is made on each elbow to provide access to the front and back of each underarm, one on the front of each arm where the bicep meets the forearm, and one additional entry point for each armpit. When targeting the front bra roll, three entry points are made on each side: one on the back of the armpit crease where the arm meets torso, one several inches directly below on the side of the torso even with the breast, and one more on the waist.
Not only will this procedure make your arms look thinner, but it can also help draw out tricep definition thanks to the targeted fat removal capabilities AirSculpt technology provides surgeons.
Absolutely not. This procedure will not affect any sweat glands, muscles, tissue, or any other body part besides subcutaneous fat.
As soon as you feel ready to do so, you can lift your arms again. There are no movement restrictions following an armpit and underarm treatment besides refraining from heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for two weeks.
This area combines especially nicely with a fat transfer to the breasts, but we should note that patients need to target a larger region for fat removal in addition to their arms to achieve a successful Up a Cup™.
Definitely! Men can target any part of their arms, and it should be noted that muscle definition and strength are never affected by AirSculpt (besides the enhanced definition you will enjoy afterward!)
No, armpit and underarm AirSculpt removes fat and leaves the skin tighter than before, but reemoving loose skin and reducing sag are not the main objectives of this procedure. An arm lift is an invasive procedure that surgically excises loose arm skin.
Patients require three post-op appointments. The first appointment takes place within one week of the procedure, the second about three months afterward, and the last roughly six months after.

Patients can correct a botched liposuction procedure on any area from the chin down to the ankle. Whether too much, too little or uneven amounts of fat were removed, we can seamlessly use the AirSculpt system to revise such mistakes with targeted fat removal and/or transfer.
Yes, AirSculpt can revise any part of the arms and any other region between the chin and ankles.
Any mistake that can be fixed with fat removal or transfer can be revised with AirSculpt. Whether it’s a natural dent like a hip dip or one stemming from liposuction, or uneven quantities of fat removed, lumps from botched treatment, or an overdone fat transfer, AirSculpt can seamlessly sculpt away such mistakes.
Corrective AirSculpt allows patients to add more fat to an area that had too little material transferred during the initial treatment.
Any area below the ankles or above the chin cannot be corrected with AirSculpt.
We ask patients to wait at least three months, and sometimes up to six months, before getting a Corrective AirSculpt treatment.
Getting AirSculpt more than once is not necessary unless patients want to target more than three or four areas at a time.
Corrective AirSculpt can involve fat removal alone or also include a transfer, depending on the patient’s specific needs.
Traditional revision treatments use liposuction-based techniques, which use outdated and manual tools to remove fat abrasively. AirSculpt, by contrast, uses minimally invasive, automated technology that plucks fat cells one by one, allowing for far more precise results. This technology provides surgeons far more finesse than traditional treatments, meaning they can work in hard-to-reach areas and break through scar tissue to improve contour irregularities.
We can remove as much fat as desired by the patient up to the state limit, typically between four and five liters.

The rapidly spinning mechanism of AirSculpt technology ensures that surgeons never have to guess when removing or transferring quantities of fat with enhanced precision. We also take special care to ascertain each patient’s body goals or pre-existing asymmetries to ensure balanced proportions are achieved.
No, AirSculpt is always a one-and-done procedure, meaning permanent results are delivered after one procedure.
Males can get any Corrective AirSculpt treatment depending on their past procedures received.
Thanks to our delicate technique, downtime is shorter, healing is quicker, and you can walk right out of your procedure. Far less pain is involved, with only minor soreness following your treatment.
Most patients can return to work within one to three days, but you should avoid exercise and strenuous activity for roughly two weeks. Expect your surgeon to provide additional instructions personalized to your specific requirements. Patients praise our staff for their attentiveness and willingness to address their needs throughout the AirSculpt® process. Unlike other clinics, we also provide custom and comfortable compression garments to ensure your fat is gone, your skin is tight, and your recovery goes smoothly.
Being able to consistently and precisely deliver the hourglass figure was one of the core reasons we invented AirSculpt. We sculpt the hourglass figure whenever requested by strategically removing stomach, flank, and waist fat, as well as performing an all-natural Power BBL™ or HipFlip™ when deemed necessary.
Corrective AirSculpt can involve fat removal alone or also include a transfer, depending on the patient’s specific needs.
We do not perform any implant removals; once a patient has had theirs taken out, we can certainly fill in the pocket where the implant formerly resided to naturally augment the breasts.
AirSculpt naturally leaves the skin tighter than before, but this is not an explicit skin tightening procedure. Patients who need extra fat removed and some minor skin tightening would be great candidates for Corrective AirSculpt. Those who need skin tightening or removal primarily, however, would likely not be as good candidates.
Yes, absolutely! AirSculpt can add more fat to the hands if an insufficient or uneven amount was added initially.
AirSculpt technology provides surgeons far more finesse than traditional treatments, meaning they can work in hard-to-reach areas and break through scar tissue to improve contour irregularities.
Because AirSculpt uses power-automated technology to transfer fat, you can certainly add more material to one part of the buttocks. You and your surgeon will discuss specific goals ahead of time and maintain open communication during the procedure to ensure your personalized aims are met.
Corrective AirSculpt allows patients to add more fat to an area that had too little material transferred during the initial treatment.
Corrective AirSculpt allows patients to remove fat from treated areas or those that have not yet been targeted and then transfer that fat to an entirely new region.
Recovery following a fat transfer correction will be relatively similar, with the caveat being that AirSculpt-based fat transfers require less downtime than traditional liposuction thanks to our gentle and precise technique.
Regarding the area that was enhanced during an AirSculpt fat transfer, results will be permanent after the initial reabsorption that ensues any natural fat graft. Dramatic weight fluctuations can also affect results, although newly achieved proportions should remain relatively intact.
The AirSculpt Injection Correction was specially designed to help fix injection lipolysis treatments that have gone wrong.
If these injections resulted in uneven buttocks, AirSculpt can possibly improve this. Your surgeon will be able to tell you if they can smooth the area with fat removal or transfer. .
Deoxycholic acid uses a series of needles injected into your chin to dissolve submental fat cells over time. The treatment requires numerous injections—as many as 20 to 50—containing a cocktail of acid injected into targeted areas. The number of injection treatments varies by patient. Such procedures are normally spaced 4-6 weeks apart, and post-procedure swelling may linger for weeks, with visible results taking months. Some patients also report bruising, tightness and temporary numbness. The pain has been compared to dozens of fire ants stinging your neck. Deoxycholic Acid has only been approved by the FDA for submental fat—that under the neck and chin. It’s often still used unsanctioned for other areas of the body, and patients should be wary of such propositions by physicians.
AirSculpt® is a patented, minimally invasive fat removal procedure performed by specially trained surgeons on the chin or neck. It permanently removes fat and leaves the skin tighter, sculpting the area under the chin. You achieve immediate results with our gently spinning technology that plucks away fat cell by cell. The majority of unwanted fat can be removed with one single minimally invasive treatment without leaving apparent scars.
Yes, AirSculpt fixes uneven injections with precision-engineered technology that allows us to remove exact quantities of fat cell-by-cell to deliver smooth results.
We do not recommend getting injectable lipolysis treatments before getting AirSculpt.
AirSculpt naturally leaves the skin tighter than before, but this is not an explicit skin tightening procedure. Patients who need extra fat removed and some minor skin tightening would be great candidates for AirSculpt alone. Those with more significant loose skin concerns can receive AirSculpt+, our dedicated skin tightening procedure.
