Lower Back AirSculpt®

Patients typically treat the tailbone/lower back region along with their back, waist, or stomach. However, lower back fat removal can be done as a standalone procedure if the fat pad above the tailbone is the main concern.

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, most report little to no pain during the treatment—especially compared to traditional lower back fat removal methods.

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.

Lower Back 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.
