Procedures
Mommy Makeover
How do I know if I need AirSculpt done on my stomach or a Tiny Tuck?
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.
Will I have a six-pack afterward?
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.
What’s the difference between Stomach AirSculpt and 48-Hour Six Pack?
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.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for this procedure?
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.
Will this procedure help me lose weight?
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.
Where are the incision points for the upper, lower, and waist areas?
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.
What can I expect the scars to look like?
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.
Can AirSculpt target high BMI patients?
Yes! We have no BMI requirement, so high BMI patients can absolutely receive AirSculpt.
How long do full abdomen AirSculpt procedures take?
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.
Can AirSculpt perform a Mommy Makeover?
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.
Will this help achieve an hourglass look?
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.
Can I transfer the fat to another area?
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.
Will this help with my stomach fold?
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.
Can I target just my lower abdomen?
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.
Can I target only my upper abdomen?
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.
Will AirSculpt flatten my stomach?
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.
Is swelling normal after getting airsculpt done?
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.
Is bruising normal after getting airsculpt done?
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.
How many sessions does it take?
With AirSculpt, there are no sessions – every procedure provides permanent results with a single one-and-done treatment.
Will this puncture my muscles?
No! Innovative AirSculpt technology is actually designed to turn off automatically should the device come into contact with any layer other than subcutaneous fat.
What does the scar look like after AirSculpt?
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!
How many post-op appointments will I have?
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.
AirSculpt® Fat Transfers
Why is a natural fat transfer safer than implants?
Thanks to our gentle technique, AirSculpt patients avoid being put under, skip the painful recovery, and enjoy faster healing. Implants, comparatively, require general anesthesia and result in noticeable scarring. Patients receiving implants incur added risks of autoimmune diseases if the body rejects the foreign material within it, and aesthetically, they tend to look eerily unnatural. Meanwhile, fat transfers using traditional liposuction are riskier than AirSculpt, as they are far less gentle and involve the use of general anesthesia. Such procedures also tend to result in lumpy, asymmetrical changes that can make patients cringe.
Can you use someone else’s fat for a transfer?
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.
Do entry points depend on which area gets a fat transfer?
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.
How do I prepare for a 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.
How long does it take for fat grafting to settle?
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.
Does AirSculpt also profile injectables?
No, AirSculpt does not offer profile injectables. Our specialty is stubborn fat – both removing and transferring it.
How is an AirSculpt Fat Transfer safer than other natural transfers?
Fat transfers using traditional liposuction are riskier than AirSculpt® fat graft treatments, as they are far more abrasive, less precise, and involve general anesthesia. Because liposuction-based fat transfers use manual tools to graft fat, they tend to result in lumpy, asymmetrical changes that can make patients cringe. AirSculpt's power-automated technology ensures perfectly 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.
How much pain will I feel during the removal and transfer processes?
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.
What affects the survival rate of grafted fat?
The quality of the fat collected, how well the material is purified, and a patient's physical characteristics can all affect the survival rate of grafted fat. The use of patented AirSculpt technology and our closed purification system ensures only the best 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. Patients generally reabsorb about 30 percent of the fat transferred after the procedure.
Will compression garments interfere with a fat transfer?
No, compression garments do not interfere with an AirSculpt fat transfer, as they were specially designed to quicken recovery and optimize results.
Does AirSculpt use syringes to extract the fat?
We never use syringes to extract fat, as is characteristic of traditional liposuction. Our surgeons exclusively use the patented AirSculpt cannula, a power-automated device that plucks fat cells one by one with a robotic plucking motion.
Can you treat petite clients as well?
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.
Are my results going to be permanent?
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.
How much of the fat stays during the fat transfer?
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 30 percent. The use of patented AirSculpt technology and our closed purification system ensures only the best 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.
What types of scars can I expect?
If they do form, scars will appear as two-millimeter-wide freckle-sized marks wherever an entry point was made.
How do surgeons ensure even amounts of fat transferred to each hand, buttocks, or breast? If they were uneven to start, how does the surgeon make the proportional?
AirSculpt's power-automated technology guarantees perfectly proportional results are achieved, 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 exact quantities of 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.
Can you take fat from the abdomen and take it to another area for a male?
Yes, men can receive any AirSculpt fat graft procedure, including a fat transfer from the abdomen to the buttocks, hands, or hips.
How many post-op appointments will I have?
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.
AirSculpt® Power BBL™
How is candidacy determined for the Power BBL?
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.
What are the most common areas to take fat from for a BBL?
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.
What's the difference between buttock implants and the AirSculpt Power BBL?
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.
How many CC’s can be transferred for a natural butt fat transfer?
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.
Where are the entry points made during a fat transfer to buttock?
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.
Are there any BMI requirements for a Power BBL?
No AirSculpt procedure, including the Power BBL, has a BMI requirement.
What’s the typical time frame this procedure takes?
An entire Power BBL takes roughly two hours to complete.
How long is the downtime for the Power BBL Procedure?
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.
Can I sit down after the Power BBL?
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.
Are massages necessary after a Power BBL?
Massages are not necessary following any AirSculpt procedure.
How long do I have to stay off my butt?
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.
When can I resume exercise?
Patients should wait at least two weeks before resuming strenuous exercise after AirSculpt but can begin taking light walks right away.
Can you sleep on your backside after a butt lift procedure?
No. Patients should sleep on their tummies for two to three weeks after a Power BBL.
Are the results permanent?
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.
How do doctors make the butt look proportional?
The power-automated nature of AirSculpt technology allows our board-certified (by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons) surgeons to remove and transfer fat by the cell. This means they can graft the exact amount of material needed to deliver balanced, proportional results – all while minimizing the risk of infection or side effects.
I have to travel to get my procedure. How long should I stay in the city so I don't have to sit on my butt for too long after I get it?
We recommend spending 48 hours in the city you were treated in before flying home.
Can I remove fat from my butt and transfer it somewhere else?
Elite does not offer a buttock fat removal procedure. We do, however, target the area just underneath the buttocks called the banana roll.
What if I don’t have enough fat? Can I use someone else's fat?
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.
Would I need to gain weight to get the Power BBL if I don't have enough fat?
We do not recommend gaining weight to achieve a successful buttock augmentation or any other fat transfer.
Can you make my buttocks wider?
Yes, we can make the buttocks and hips wider.
Can I target my tailbone and also transfer fat during one session?
Patients can target tailbone fat and augment their buttocks simultaneously, as doing so can help accentuate one's natural feminine curvature.
Can you do the sides of the butt to get a Hip Flip and a Power BBL?
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.
How is an AirSculpt Fat Transfer safer than other natural transfers?
Fat transfers using traditional liposuction are riskier than AirSculpt® fat graft treatments, as they are far more abrasive, less precise, and involve general anesthesia. Because liposuction-based fat transfers use manual tools to graft fat, they tend to result in lumpy, asymmetrical changes that can make patients cringe. AirSculpt's power-automated technology ensures perfectly 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.
What affects the survival rate of grafted fat?
The quality of the fat collected, how well the material is purified, and a patient's physical characteristics can all affect the survival rate of grafted fat. The use of patented AirSculpt technology and our closed purification system ensures only the best 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 30 percent of the fat transferred after the procedure.
What types of scars can I expect?
If they do form, scars will appear as two-millimeter-wide freckle-sized marks wherever an entry point was made.
If my butt is uneven can we transfer to just one butt cheek if necessary?
Yes, we can transfer varying amounts of fat or even only treat one buttock, if desired, to ultimately achieve balanced results.
Can I have any sexual intercourse after this procedure?
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.
Will my waist size change?
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.
Can men also get a Power BBL?
Yes, men can receive any AirSculpt fat graft procedure, including a fat transfer from the abdomen to the buttocks, hands, or hips.
How big of a lift can I expect from this?
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.
Does age affect the results?
No, age will not affect the results of an AirSculpt buttock enhancement. The only requirement is that patients are over 18 years of age.
When can I swim after the Power BBL?
Patients should wait at least two to three weeks before resuming strenuous activity, and entry points should be fully closed before one considers swimming.
How is the fat purified for an AirSculpt fat transfer?
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.
Is it painful?
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.
How is the aftercare for a Power BBL?
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!
How should I prepare for this cosmetic procedure?
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.
What is the average cost of an AirSculpt Brazilian butt lift procedure?
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.
Can I combine a tummy tuck and fat transfer to buttocks?
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.
Where can I get an AirSculpt fat transfer to the buttocks near me?
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 Elite Body Sculpture; we currently have 17 offices open nationwide with the best BBL doctors in the world and plan to continue expanding shortly!
Why are AirSculpt doctors the best Brazilian buttock lift surgeons?
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.
Can I wear a butt lifter after this procedure?
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.
Up A Cup™ Breast Enhancement
Do you perform breast enhancements?
Yes, we perform a natural fat transfer breast augmentation called the Up a Cup™.
Can I be awake during the procedure?
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.
Is this a breast lift?
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.
Where are the entry points for a breast fat transfer?
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.
Will the entry point hide under a bikini?
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.
Will my age affect the results of the procedure?
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.
How many cc’s can be transferred into any given breast?
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.
Will Up A Cup give me a more natural look?
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.
Does fat remain permanently in the breasts after an Up A Cup if you exercise routinely?
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.
Does it hurt?
No, a fat transfer to the breasts with AirSculpt does not cause pain. Patients report the sensation as similar to an electric toothbrush vibration.
Will my breasts be numb, as well as the area where the fat is being taken from?
Yes, the breasts are numbed before they are enhanced naturally, which explains why we can perform wide-awake breast augmentation fat transfers.
How long do I need to wear the compression bra?
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.
Can I workout in the bra?
Absolutely! As with any AirSculpt procedure, patients can work out two weeks after their treatment and are encouraged to begin taking walks even sooner.
Will this stretch my areola?
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.
Will results always be even?
AirSculpt's power-automated technology guarantees perfectly proportional results are achieved, 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 exact quantities of 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.
How long is the healing time for Up A Cup?
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™.
Can I expect swelling and bruising during a fat transfer to the breasts?
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.
Can you do this on someone who has had breast cancer?
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.
What if I have silicone implants in my breast but I want to do a fat transfer instead?
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.
Can you get Up A Cup before pregnancy?
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.
Can I breastfeed after getting an Up-A-Cup procedure?
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.
If I breastfeed after my procedure will it affect the shape of my breasts?
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.
Could I transfer the fat to the underboob or sideboob to get a fuller look in those areas?
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.
If I target my armpit and enhance my Up A Cup, will it tighten my skin?
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.
How many post-op appointments will I have?
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.
Where can I get an AirSculpt fat transfer breast augmentation near me?
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 Elite Body Sculpture, and we currently have 17 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.
AirSculpt® Hand Rejuvenation Fat Transfer
Where are the entry points to the hands?
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.
Do you use any fillers for the hand procedure?
We only use a patient's own natural fat. Fillers use artificial chemicals that can cause unforeseen outcomes and uneven results.
How will the injected fat change my hands’ appearance?
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.
Can I wear rings after my procedure?
Patients should wait at least two weeks before wearing rings. Always follow your surgeons' specific instructions first.
Will I be able to use my hands afterward?
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.
Can I carry my baby after the hand procedure?
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.
Can I work out or play an instrument right away?
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.
How long will my results last?
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.
Can fat be added to the fingers?
Fat can and typically is transferred to the fingers with AirSculpt.
Will this procedure help me address extremely skinny hands?
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.
Will the fat transfer to the hands hide my veiny look?
Veins and tendons that have become visible will be fully concealed once the fat has settled, restoring a youthful look to the hands.
Can I drive the same day?
Patients should not drive home after the procedure and should refrain from driving for at least 24 hours after treatment.
Will this affect the proportion of my wrist/arms to my hands after getting fat transferred?
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.
Pubic Area AirSculpt®
Will it make my skin tighter?
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.
Where are the entry points?
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.
If I had a c-section, will the entry points show on my scar?
We can use the same C-section scar to remove pubic fat and avoid creating additional entry points.
Can men also target their pubic area?
Yes, men can also treat their pubic area with AirSculpt.
Will I be able to bend down after targeting the pubic area?
You will be able to bend down after receiving Pubic AirSculpt thanks to the delicate, precise mechanism by which this technology removes fat.
Will it affect the appearance of my labia?
Pubic AirSculpt will not affect the appearance of the labia.
Will it cause permanent or temporary hair loss?
An AirSculpt treatment does not cause hair loss on the pubic region or anywhere else on the body.
Would a tummy tuck get rid of this fat instead?
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.
Will I have pain or discomfort in the area and for how long?
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.
Will I lose sensitivity in the area for any time frame?
No, you will not lose sensitivity in the pubic area or any area after AirSculpt. This technology only operates within the subcutaneous fat layer, meaning it automatically turns off before contacting anything else like nerves or muscles.
Would a tummy tuck make me more likely to need Pubic AirSculpt?
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.
Can I combine a tiny tuck with pubic area and full abdomen to get a complete mommy makeover?
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.
Can I target the pubic area and tailbone to get a flatter look?
The pubic and tailbone regions are two popular options patients often target simultaneously, as doing so will provide a permanently flatter, toned look.
Back AirSculpt®
Why is Back AirSculpt® less painful?
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.
How is Back AirSculpt® different from other fat removal treatments?
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 perfectly 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 trustworthy than noninvasive methods that come with unprecedented side effects and complications.
How do I know Back AirSculpt® is right for me?
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!

This all means no more love handles, and no more pesky insecurities.
What is it like to recover from Back AirSculpt®?
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.
Does AirSculpt® help with skin tightening or cellulite?
The small laser we use in the AirSculpt® process before removing fat primarily serves the purpose of softening and separating fat cells. Nevertheless, this same laser gives some skin tightening effects when combined with adequate use of the complementary compression garments provided by Elite. This technique can lessen the appearance of cellulite, leaving your skin looking natural and smooth.
How much fat can you remove from the back?
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.
If I have more fat on one side than the other, can more fat be taken out of that side?
AirSculpt's power-automated technology guarantees perfectly proportional results are achieved, 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 exact quantities of 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 effective than noninvasive procedures like CoolSculpting for back fat, which requires multiple sessions and cannot remove fat directly.
What’s the difference between a back lift, back fat liposuction, and Back AirSculpt?
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!
Where are the entry points?
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.
Buffalo Hump AirSculpt®
Can AirSculpt give me a flatter look?
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.
Can I be paralyzed with AirSculpt in the neck by targeting the Buffalo Hump?
No, you will not be paralyzed by AirSculpt in the buffalo hump or other regions, thanks to the automated nature of our technology.
Where are the entry points?
One entry point is made on the upper back/buffalo hump, directly in the middle of the back.
Can this allow me to have better posture?
Patients often do enjoy better posture after a buffalo hump procedure.
Will this be permanent?
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.
Does this also tighten skin?
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.
Upper Back AirSculpt®
I have fat that comes out from underneath my bra strap, is this counted as the back bra roll as well?
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.
Will the back bra roll procedure affect the size of my breasts?
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.
Where are the entry points?
Four total entry points are made: one entry point in each armpit and one on each side of the waist.
How much fat can you remove from my back?
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.
If I have more fat on one side than the other, can more fat be taken out of that side?
AirSculpt's power-automated technology guarantees perfectly proportional results are achieved, 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 exact quantities of 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.
Can you lay on your back after getting this procedure done?
Patients should avoid laying down on their back for two weeks, including sleeping on their sides or stomach for the duration of this period.
Is the back bra roll separate from the abdomen or included?
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.
How visible will the scar be along the bra line?
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.
Is this permanent?
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.
How many sessions does it take to get a flat back bra roll?
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.
Lower Back AirSculpt®
Do people usually get just the tailbone region done?
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.
Does this region help with my butt area? I don’t want to do a fat transfer but I would like to put more emphasis on my butt.
Yes, sculpting the tailbone will provide a more sloped figure that accentuates one's natural contours, thereby helping to make the butt look curvier.
Does this procedure hurt?
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.
Does this area typically swell?
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.
How soon will I see results for this procedure?
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.
If I’ve had a broken tailbone in the past will that affect this procedure?
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.
Will this lower my waistline size?
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.
Will this help achieve an hourglass shape in my middle section?
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.
Can I target my tailbone and also transfer fat during one session?
Patients can target tailbone fat and augment their buttocks simultaneously, as doing so can help accentuate one's natural feminine curvature.
Can I target the pubic area and tailbone to get a flatter look?
The pubic and tailbone regions are two popular options patients often target simultaneously, as doing so will provide a permanently flatter, toned look.
Where is the entry point?
One entry point is made just above the buttock crease on the back.

Stomach AirSculpt®
How do I know if I need AirSculpt done on my stomach or a Tiny Tuck?

Is there an age limit when targeting the stomach?
We have no age limits for the stomach or any other body parts.
Will I have a six-pack afterward?
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.
What’s the difference between Stomach AirSculpt and 48-Hour Six Pack?
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.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for this procedure?
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.
Will this procedure help me lose weight?
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.
Where are the incision points for the upper, lower, and waist areas?
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.
What can I expect the scars to look like?
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.
Can AirSculpt target high BMI patients?
Yes! We have no BMI requirement, so high BMI patients can absolutely receive AirSculpt.
How long do full abdomen AirSculpt procedures take?
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.
Can AirSculpt perform a Mommy Makeover?
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.
Will this help achieve an hourglass look?
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.
Can I transfer the fat to another area?
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.
Will this help with my stomach fold?
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.
How much fat can you take out of the stomach?
We can remove as much fat as a patient wants removed from the stomach up to the state limit, which is typically five liters.
Can I target just my lower abdomen?
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.
Will AirSculpt flatten my stomach?
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.
Is swelling normal after getting airsculpt done?
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.
Is bruising normal after getting airsculpt done?
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.
How many sessions does it take?
With AirSculpt, there are no sessions – every procedure provides permanent results with a single one-and-done treatment.
Will this puncture my muscles?
No! Innovative AirSculpt technology is actually designed to turn off automatically should the device come into contact with any layer other than subcutaneous fat.
How long of a downtime is required after the tummy procedure?
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.
What does the scar look like after 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.
AirSculpt® 48-Hour Six Pack™

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.
Where are the entry points?
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.
What makes the six pack more pronounced with AirSculpt?
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.
Is it possible to take out 5 liters alone from the stomach?
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.
How soon will I notice my new abs?
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.
Can AirSculpt help get rid of my beer belly?
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.
How long will I need to wear the garments for?
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.
Is this permanent?
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.
What do the entry points look like?
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!
Can you target my V-cut to make it more noticeable?
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.
Is there a weight requirement?
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®
Is there a BMI requirement?
There is no specific BMI requirement for AirSculpt®.
How many post-op appointments will I have?
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.

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.
Is there an age limit when targeting the stomach?
We have no age limits for the stomach or any other body parts.
Will I have a six-pack afterward?
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.
What’s the difference between Stomach AirSculpt and 48-Hour Six Pack?
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.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for this procedure?
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.
Will this procedure help me lose weight?
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.
Where are the incision points for the upper, lower, and waist areas?
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.
What can I expect the scars to look like?
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.
Can AirSculpt target high BMI patients?
Yes! We have no BMI requirement, so high BMI patients can absolutely receive AirSculpt.
How long do full abdomen AirSculpt procedures take?
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.
Can AirSculpt perform a Mommy Makeover?
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.
Will this help achieve an hourglass look?
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.
Can I transfer the fat to another area?
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.
Will this help with my stomach fold?
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.
How much fat can you take out of the stomach?
We can remove as much fat as a patient wants removed from the stomach up to the state limit, which is typically five liters.
Can I target just my lower abdomen?
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.
Can I target only my upper abdomen?
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.
Will AirSculpt flatten my stomach?
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.
Is swelling normal after getting airsculpt done?
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.
Is bruising normal after getting airsculpt done?
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.
How many sessions does it take?
With AirSculpt, there are no sessions – every procedure provides permanent results with a single one-and-done treatment.
Will this puncture my muscles?
No! Innovative AirSculpt technology is actually designed to turn off automatically should the device come into contact with any layer other than subcutaneous fat.
How long of a downtime is required after the tummy procedure?
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.
What does the scar look like after 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!
How many post-op appointments will I have?
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.
Waist AirSculpt®
Can AirSculpt give you a smaller waist?
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.
What is a spare tire? What is a muffin top?
A muffin top and spare tire refer to the same concept – excess fat accumulated on a patient’s flanks.
Where are the entry points?
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.
Does this procedure also address muffin tops/overhang all the way around?
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.
Will this procedure enhance my curves?
Yes, this procedure will enhance your curves thanks to the unparalleled finesse AirSculpt technology provides our surgeons throughout the body sculpting process.
After targeting this area, should I begin waist training?
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.
What kind of scars can I expect?
If they do form, scars will appear as two-millimeter-wide freckle-sized marks wherever an entry point was made.
How does AirSculpt ensure balanced results on each of my hip, flanks, etc?
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.
Can I target my hips and thighs to create an hourglass shape?
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.
Love Handle AirSculpt®
Where are the entry points?
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.
What is a spare tire and muffin top?
A muffin top and spare tire refer to the same concept – excess fat accumulated on a patient’s flanks.
Will this help prevent the skin from hanging over my jeans?
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.
Can men also target their love handles?
Yes, men can remove love handle fat with AirSculpt as well!
Can I take the fat from my muffin top and transfer into my hips?
Absolutely! Patients can use fat from almost any part of their body to complete a HipFlip™, including the muffin top or waist.
Can I only target my love handles/Muffin top?
Yes, patients can target just their love handles or flank fat with AirSculpt.
If I gain weight after the procedure, will I have a muffin top again?
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.
Is there a BMI requirement?
There is no specific BMI requirement for AirSculpt®.
Weight requirement?
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®
What kind of scars will I have?
If they do form, scars will appear like small, symmetrical freckle-sized marks wherever an entry point was made.
How many post-op appointments will I have?
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.
How does AirSculpt compare with liposuction for love handles?
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 Elite Body Sculpture 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.
Do you offer AirSculpt lipo for men’s love handles?
Yes! We absolutely can sculpt men’s love handles, full abdominal areas, chest, or any other desired regions.
Is AirSculpt similar to CoolSculpting love handles procedures?
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 Elite office, with only a day or two of needed downtime.
How does AirSculpt compare with the average love handle liposuction cost? What about with CoolSculpting cost for love handles?
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.
AirSculpt® Tiny Tuck™
Does this procedure target lower abdomen excess skin and the sides?
Yes, the Tiny Tuck™ specifically targets loose skin below the belly button, including on the lower abdomen and flanks.
What is the difference between a full tummy tuck surgery and a tiny tuck?
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.
What is this procedure like?
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.
What are the entry/incision points like?
The incision made for a Tiny Tuck™ is located along the waistline just above the pubic region.
What is recovery like?
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.
Does this procedure require catheter drains?
No, the Tiny Tuck™ does not require catheter drains unlike stomach liposuction.
Will results last with tiny tuck?
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.
Am I going to be on bed rest after a tiny tuck?
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.
How is scarring?
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.
Can I lay on my stomach?
Patients should avoid laying on their stomachs for two weeks after a Tiny Tuck™, meaning they should only sleep on their backs after treatment.
When can I exercise?
Patients can begin taking walks two to three days after their Tiny Tuck™, and resume strenuous activity after about two weeks, pending surgeon approval.
What are steri strips?
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.
Will they fall off on their own?
Steri strips do tend to fall off on their own after about a week to a week and a half.
After pregnancy, I needed a tiny tuck - but can we also target my breasts as well at the same time?
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.
Will tiny tuck help with stretch marks?
A Tiny Tuck™ can help with stretch marks as long as they are located below the belly button. Perfect combination for a mommy lift.
Is it okay to have a tiny tuck done before having kids?
We recommend waiting until after a patient has given birth and does not plan to get pregnant again before receiving the Tiny Tuck™.
Does a Tiny Tuck also repair the muscles of the abdomen?
The Tiny Tuck™ does not repair or suture the muscles along the abdomen, as this type of procedure requires a more invasive tummy tuck.
How long does this procedure take?
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.
Will I awake for this procedure?
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.
Chin AirSculpt®
Can I lose my double chin completely?
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.
Where are the entry points?
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.
How long does it take to recover?
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.
Do I have to wear a chin strap? How long do I need to wear the chin strap?
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.
How bad is the bruising?
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.
Will I be swollen?
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.
Will it be painful?
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.
Will this help tighten skin?
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.
How long does a chin procedure take?
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.
How long does it take to recover from a chin procedure?
While a chin strap only has to be worn for 48 hours after Chin AirSculpt, most patients need about two weeks for swelling and bruising to subside.
Do you target above the chin (cheeks, eyelids, etc)?
No, we do not target areas of the face above the chin. Chin AirSculpt solely addresses the submental region.
What does it feel like getting AirSculpt in the chin area?
Chin AirSculpt feels like a gentle, mechanical vibration. Most patients say it feels most similar to an electric toothbrush.
Will the chin procedure work for the elderly?
Absolutely! We have no age limits, so elderly patients looking to remove stubborn turkey neck fat can certainly receive this procedure.
Can you also target the neck area other than just the chin?
Yes, Chin AirSculpt removes fat throughout the submental region, including the chin and upper neck areas under the ears.
Can you fix my Kybella chin with AirSculpt?
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.
I have undesired lumps from previous work, can AirSculpt smooth this out?
Absolutely! Our precision-engineered technology is the best way to even out lumps, bumps, or asymmetrical chin liposuction results.
How many post-op appointments will I have?
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.
What is the average cost of Chin AirSculpt and how does it compare with traditional double chin liposuction price?
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.
Where can I get AirSculpt "chin liposuction" near me?
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 Elite Body Sculpture; we currently have 17 offices open nationwide and plan to continue expanding shortly!
Gynecomastia AirSculpt®
What causes gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the swelling of male breast tissue caused by an imbalance in hormones, typically due to one’s genetic composition.
Does AirSculpt work for male breasts?
The AirSculpt Male Breast Reduction was explicitly designed to help men sculpt stubborn fat in this region.
Does AirSculpt work on both gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia?
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.
Will this give me a more defined muscle look?
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.
If I have large glands, will AirSculpt affect this negatively?
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.
Where are the entry points?
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.
What does the scarring look like?
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.
Will the fat grow back even after surgery?
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.
Will I lose any type of sensation after the procedure?
No, you will not lose sensitivity in the pubic area or any area after AirSculpt. This technology only operates within the subcutaneous fat layer, meaning it automatically turns off before contacting anything else like nerves or muscles.
When can I resume exercise after the male breast reduction?
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.
Does this require drains?
AirSculpt is minimally invasive and does not require any drains, unlike more invasive, liposuction-based versions of “gyno surgery.”
What type of garment will be used for this area?
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.
Leg AirSculpt®
Do you need any massages after any leg procedure?
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.
Will I be able to walk after this procedure?
Patients not only can walk but are instructed to walk for at least 45 minutes after any procedure to help encourage healing.
How long would you say this procedure takes?
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.
When can I resume running after the procedure?
Patients should wait two to three weeks before resuming strenuous exercise like serious running.
Do you suggest walking even after the knee procedure?
We absolutely suggest walking and even require patients to do so for 45 minutes per day after any AirSculpt procedure.
Can Leg/Thigh AirSculpt be combined with a Fat Transfer to make my hips wider?
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.
How do I know if I need a leg lift surgery or fat removal?
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.
Can I wear tight clothing after this procedure?
Yes, you can wear tight clothing after AirSculpt.
What factors will determine the degree of leg thinning I experience?
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.
Can I still have my thighs done if I know I have excess skin?
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.
Does this target lymphedema?
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.
Will my cellulite be treated or affected by the procedure?
Some patients may experience a degree of improvement afterward, but AirSculpt is not a designated cellulite treatment.
Can AirSculpt do a 360 procedure on the legs and thighs?
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.
Is there any swelling after the procedure?
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.
Is there a special garment for this?
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).
Can AirSculpt target the calves?
Yes, AirSculpt can target the calves alone or in conjunction with surrounding areas like the knees.
Can I walk after a CANKcüre procedure?
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.
Do you target ankles?
Yes, our exclusive ankle treatment is called the CANKcüre, which targets either the ankles alone or the cankles, including the calves and ankles.
Can you do a fat transfer to my calves or ankles?
No. We do not offer AirSculpt fat transfers to the calves or ankles.
AirSculpt® Lipedema Treatment
What are the risks of this procedure?
AirSculpt® risks are reduced by the use of local anesthesia and automated technology, but still include bruising, swelling, and the possibility of infection, as is common with any minimally invasive cosmetic procedure. We provide our patients with antibiotics before their treatment and for the following two weeks to lower chances of infection. The overall risk of more severe side effects is also significantly minimized by avoiding general anesthesia.
Will my cellulite be treated with AirSculpt?
Some patients may experience a degree of improvement afterward, but AirSculpt is not a designated cellulite treatment.
Can AirSculpt also be a solution for lipedema?
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. While this is not necessarily a cure for the condition, it will improve any discomfort or aesthetic issues.
How do I know if I need fat removal or a lift?
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.
Do you have to be at a certain stage of Lipedema to get approved to do AirSculpt in this area?
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.
How many procedures will I need?
With AirSculpt, there are no sessions – every procedure provides permanent results with a single one-and-done treatment.
Can this help loose skin?
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.
Where are the entry points?
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.
Can I wear tight clothing after AirSculpt?
Yes, you can wear tight clothing after AirSculpt.
Will I be able to walk after this procedure?
Patients not only can walk but are instructed to walk for at least 45 minutes after any procedure to help encourage healing.
Will the fat come back?
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.
How young can AirSculpt be performed for lipedema patients?
AirSculpt® patients under 18 years old must have parental permission.
Front Thigh AirSculpt®
What are the entry points?
Entry points are made at the top of the thighs, just outside of the groin creases.
Will my cellulite be treated with AirSculpt?
Some patients may experience a degree of improvement afterward, but AirSculpt is not a designated cellulite treatment.
Can you achieve a thigh gap?
Yes, if a patient wants a thigh gap, we can seamlessly sculpt one.
Can I wear tight clothing after AirSculpt?
Yes, you can wear tight clothing after AirSculpt.
Does AirSculpt help lipedema?
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.
Can this help loose skin?
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.
If I target hips and thighs will I get an hourglass look?
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.
Inner Thigh AirSculpt®
Where are the entry points?
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.
How long is this procedure?
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.
How much fat can be taken out?
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.
How do I know if I need fat removal or a lift?
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.
Will my cellulite be treated with AirSculpt?
Some patients may experience a degree of improvement afterward, but AirSculpt is not a designated cellulite treatment.
Can you achieve a thigh gap?
Yes, if a patient wants a thigh gap, we can seamlessly sculpt one.
Can I wear tight clothing after AirSculpt?
Yes, you can wear tight clothing after AirSculpt.
Does AirSculpt help lipedema?
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.
Can this help loose skin?
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.
Will I be able to walk after this procedure?
Patients not only can walk but are instructed to walk for at least 45 minutes after any procedure to help encourage healing.
When can I resume running after AirSculpt?
Patients should wait two to three weeks before resuming strenuous exercise like serious running.
When can I do leg workouts again?
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.
If I target hips and thighs will I get an hourglass look?
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.
Will this give me profound buttocks?
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
If my inner thighs are uneven, can AirSculpt even the lumps out?
AirSculpt’s power-automated technology guarantees perfectly proportional results are achieved, 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 exact quantities of 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.
Outer Thigh AirSculpt®
What are the entry points?
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.
How do I know if I need fat removal or a lift?
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.
What areas are considered saddle bags?
The saddlebag is considered to be outer thigh fat anywhere between the pelvis and knee.
Will my cellulite be treated with AirSculpt?
Some patients may experience a degree of improvement afterward, but AirSculpt is not a designated cellulite treatment.
Can you achieve a thigh gap?
Yes, if a patient wants a thigh gap, we can seamlessly sculpt one.
Can I wear tight clothing after AirSculpt?
Yes, you can wear tight clothing after AirSculpt.
Does AirSculpt help lipedema?
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.
Can this help loose skin?
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.
Will I be able to walk after this procedure?
Patients not only can walk but are instructed to walk for at least 45 minutes after any procedure to help encourage healing.
When can I resume running after AirSculpt?
Patients should wait two to three weeks before resuming strenuous exercise like serious running.
When can I do leg workouts again?
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.
If I target hips and thighs will I get an hourglass look?
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.
Will this allow my legs to look less curvy?
The typical AirSculpt procedure aims to enhance one’s natural curves and contours, but if a patient wants to lessen them instead, we can absolutely do so! Patients looking to remove saddlebags can achieve a flatter outer thigh look with our patented treatment.
Will this affect my hip dips?
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.
If my outer thighs are uneven, can AirSculpt even the lumps out?
AirSculpt’s power-automated technology guarantees perfectly proportional results are achieved, 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 exact quantities of 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.
Banana Roll AirSculpt®
What is a banana roll?
A banana roll is fat underneath the buttocks, above the back of the thigh around to the inner thigh.
Where are the entry points?
Entry points are made underneath the back of the buttocks, right above the back of the upper thighs.
When can I resume running?
Patients should wait two to three weeks before resuming strenuous exercise like serious running.
Will my cellulite be treated?
Some patients may experience a degree of improvement afterward, but AirSculpt is not a designated cellulite treatment.
Will this lift my skin?
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.
How long will this procedure take?
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.
How can I prevent any infections after this procedure?
Following the instructions provided to you is the best way to prevent infection. We provide our patients with antibiotics before their treatment and for the following two weeks to lower the chances of infection. The overall risk of more severe side effects is also significantly minimized by avoiding general anesthesia.
AirSculpt® CankCüre™
What is AirSculpt® and why was it created?
AirSculpt® combines all the best fat removal techniques on the market with our own patented technology to provide the most gentle, yet effective, body contouring option available today. We set the highest standard by combining our ability to target problem areas precisely while minimizing post-procedure downtime.
How exactly is AirSculpt® different from other fat procedures?
Minimally invasive AirSculpt® renders older procedures like liposuction obsolete. Patented technology only available at Elite Body Sculpture, 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.
What can I expect during and after my procedure?
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.
What about bruising, swelling, and compression garments?
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 Elite 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.
Arm AirSculpt®
What part of the arms are treated with AirSculpt?
AirSculpt can treat the entire arm, from the elbow and forearm junction up to the armpit, front bra rolls, and armpit region.
Is there enough fat in your arms for a transfer?
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.
Where are the entry points?
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.
Do I need any stretchings?
Patients are encouraged to walk a couple of days after their procedure, but no targeted arm stretching is required.
When do I need to stop breastfeeding to get AirSculpt on the arms?
Patients can keep breastfeeding up until their procedure but will have to abstain from breastfeeding after any AirSculpt treatment until their surgeon gives approval.
How soon can a patient workout?
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.
Will I be able to lift up my arms?
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.
Will this help tighten skin?
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.
Will the skin sag after AirSculpt?
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.
Does it give you a sharper, more defined look?
AirSculpt helps improve the arm muscles’ definition, specifically in the tricep region, while also permanently removing stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise.
Can I also target the armpits?
Our AirSculpt arm fat removal surgery can target the armpits alone or as part of a broader arm or back treatment as well!
How quickly will you see results?
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.
How much fat can you take from your arms?
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.
Does this affect the muscle at all?
AirSculpt never affects the muscle but will enhance its definition by removing subcutaneous fat covering it.
Does AirSculpt correct botched procedures like liposuction in the arms?
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.
How many post-op appointments will I have?
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.
Armpit and Underarm AirSculpt®
Is this counted as a separate area?
The underarm and front bra roll are considered separate areas at Elite Body Sculpture. 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.
Where are the entry points?
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.
Will my arms look thinner?
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.
Will this affect any of the sweat glands located in this area?
Absolutely not. This procedure will not affect any sweat glands, muscles, tissue, or any other body part besides subcutaneous fat.
When will I be able to lift my arms up again?
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.
Can I add this area after targeting my chest?
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™.
Can men target this area?
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!)
Is this considered an arm lift?
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.
How many post-op appointments will I have?
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.
Front Bra Roll AirSculpt®
Is this counted as a separate area?
The underarm and front bra roll are considered separate areas at Elite Body Sculpture. 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.
Where are the entry points?
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.

How many post-op appointments will I have?
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.
Corrective AirSculpt®
What areas can I get corrective AirSculpt on?
Patients can correct any area from the chin down to the ankle. Whether a fat transfer, injectable lipolysis, or liposuction treatment has gone wrong, we can seamlessly use the AirSculpt system to revise such mistakes with targeted fat removal and/or transfer.
Is there any area on the body where you can't get corrective AirSculpt on?
Any area below the ankles or above the chin cannot be corrected with AirSculpt.
How much fat can be removed in total?
We can remove as much fat as desired by the patient up to the state limit, typically between four and five liters.
I have undesired lumps from previous work, can AirSculpt smooth this out?
Yes, AirSculpt’s patented, power-automated technology allows us to remove or transfer the exact amount of fat needed to smooth out prior procedures’ mistakes.
Why is AirSculpt better equipped at providing smooth, symmetrical, and non-lumpy results compared to traditional liposuction?
Traditional liposuction uses 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.
Does Corrective AirSculpt work on non-liposuction procedures that were botched?
Yes, we can perform Corrective AirSculpt on any type of non-surgical fat removal or injectable lipolysis treatment, in addition to botched liposuction.
I’ve had multiple sessions with other procedures, does AirSculpt require multiple sessions as well?
No, AirSculpt is always a one-and-done procedure, meaning permanent results are delivered after one procedure.
How soon do I need to wait after my original procedure before getting Corrective AirSculpt?
We ask patients to wait at least three months, and sometimes up to six months, before getting a Corrective AirSculpt treatment.
What are the different types of mistakes Corrective AirSculpt can correct? (ie. hip dips, dents, etc.?)
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.
Can I get Corrective AirSculpt more than once if I need significant correction?
Getting AirSculpt more than once is not necessary unless patients want to target more than three or four areas at a time.
If I have undesired lumps but not too much excess fat underneath to be removed, am I still a good candidate?
Oftentimes we can help candidates smooth out undesired lumps with a fat transfer rather than fat removal. Therefore, patients with such lumps or bumps that can’t be attributed to subcutaneous fat often still are good candidates for Corrective AirSculpt.
Can you fix my kybella chin with AirSculpt?
Patients can absolutely correct a Kybella treatment gone wrong with AirSculpt.
Does this also allow for tightening?
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.
I was asleep for traditional liposuction and wasn’t able to see the results they gave me. Will I be able to see them with AirSculpt and make sure it’s smoother?
Yes, you will be awake the entire time to see your results, ensure they are smoother, and chat with your surgeon at all times. Using local anesthesia is a hallmark of AirSculpt procedures that drastically reduces patient risk as well.
If I only targeted my lower abdomen previously with another cosmetic procedure, can I target my upper abdomen with AirSculpt?
Patients can selectively target any part of their abdomen, including the upper or lower half alone if desired.
If I only targeted my upper abdomen previously with another cosmetic procedure, can I target my lower abdomen with AirSculpt?
Patients can selectively target any part of their abdomen, including the upper or lower half alone if desired.
AirSculpt® Fat Transfer Correction
Does Corrective AirSculpt include only fat removal or can it do fat transfers too?
Corrective AirSculpt can involve fat removal alone or also include a transfer, depending on the patient’s specific needs.
Can AirSculpt remove my implants and do a natural Up-A-Cup fat transfer instead?
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.
Does this also allow for skin tightening?
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.
Not enough fat was put in my hands, can we add more with AirSculpt?
Yes, absolutely! AirSculpt can add more fat to the hands if an insufficient or uneven amount was added initially.
Will Scar Tissue be an issue from the past?
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.
Can I get more fat on the bottom of my buttocks instead of on top like my previous fat transfer left me?
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.
Can I add more fat than what was previously put in the area?
Corrective AirSculpt allows patients to add more fat to an area that had too little material transferred during the initial treatment.
Will I be able to take more fat away from an area that has already been targeted to transfer to another area that has not been targeted?
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.
Is the recovery different if I’ve already had a fat transfer?
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.
What can I do to prevent any infections?
Following the instructions provided to you is the best way to prevent infection. We provide our patients with antibiotics before their treatment and for the following two weeks to lower chances of infection. The overall risk of more severe side effects is also significantly minimized by avoiding general anesthesia.
AirSculpt® Injection Revision
How long does the fat last after being corrected from buttocks, up a cup, or even to the hands?
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.
I had kybella done, can I correct this with AirSculpt?
The AirSculpt Injection Correction was specially designed to help fix injection lipolysis treatments that have gone wrong.
Too many injectibles were put in my buttocks, can AirSculpt reverse this?
If these injections resulted in uneven buttocks that can be smoothed with a fat transfer, AirSculpt can seamlessly reverse this.
Can fat be taken out after getting injectables?
Yes, fat can be removed from an area that received injectables as long as it is between the ankles and chin. We typically do not remove fat from the face.
What are the risks after having injections vs. AirSculpt?
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 through a virtually painless process enabled by our gently spinning 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.
Can AirSculpt fix uneven injections?
Yes, AirSculpt fixes uneven injections with precision-engineered technology that allows us to remove exact quantities of fat cell-by-cell to deliver perfectly even results.
Should I get injections before getting AirSculpt?
We do not recommend getting injectable lipolysis treatments before getting AirSculpt.
What can I do to prevent any infections?
Following the instructions provided to you is the best way to prevent infection. We provide our patients with antibiotics before their treatment and for the following two weeks to lower the chances of infection. The overall risk of more severe side effects is also significantly minimized by avoiding general anesthesia.
Does this allow also a tightening procedure for corrective 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 Corrective AirSculpt. Those who need skin tightening or removal primarily, however, would likely not be as good candidates.
Corrective AirSculpt®
What areas can I correct with AirSculpt?
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.
Can you do a revision on the arms?
Yes, AirSculpt can revise any part of the arms and any other region between the chin and ankles.
Traditional Liposuction left me dents and skin dimpling, can AirSculpt smooth out this surface?
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.
Can AirSculpt transfer more fat if not enough fat was transferred with traditional liposuction?
Corrective AirSculpt allows patients to add more fat to an area that had too little material transferred during the initial treatment.
Is there any area on the body where you can’t get Corrective AirSculpt on?
Any area below the ankles or above the chin cannot be corrected with AirSculpt.
How long do I need to wait after my original procedure before getting Corrective AirSculpt?
We ask patients to wait at least three months, and sometimes up to six months, before getting a Corrective AirSculpt treatment.
Can I get Corrective AirSculpt more than once if I need significant correction?
Getting AirSculpt more than once is not necessary unless patients want to target more than three or four areas at a time.
Does Corrective AirSculpt include only fat removal or a fat transfer as well?
Corrective AirSculpt can involve fat removal alone or also include a transfer, depending on the patient’s specific needs.
How does Corrective AirSculpt differ from other revision treatments?
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.

Why is AirSculpt better equipped at providing smooth, symmetrical, and non-lumpy results compared to traditional lipo?
Traditional liposuction uses 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 perfectly exact 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.
Can I get Corrective AirSculpt for a fat transfer that went badly, such as too much or uneven grafted fat?
Yes, our revision treatment specializes in fixing uneven or overdone fat transfers. AirSculpt’s power-automated technology guarantees perfectly proportional results are achieved, 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 exact quantities of 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.
I’ve had multiple sessions done with traditional liposuction - does Airsculpt require multiple sessions as well?
No, AirSculpt is always a one-and-done procedure, meaning permanent results are delivered after one procedure.
Can males get Corrective AirSculpt?
Males can get any Corrective AirSculpt treatment depending on their past procedures received.
How long is the recovery period after getting Corrective AirSculpt?
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 Elite 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.
If traditional liposuction didn’t give me an hourglass look, can AirSculpt achieve this for me?
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.
What can I do to prevent infections?
Following the instructions provided to you is the best way to prevent infection. We provide our patients with antibiotics before their treatment and for the following two weeks to lower chances of infection. The overall risk of more severe side effects is also significantly minimized by avoiding general anesthesia.
