AirSculpt Body Contouring by Elite Body
Join Alice Hart-Davis as she visits Dr. Aaron Rollins at Elite Body Sculpture on Harley Street to explore AirSculpt, a revolutionary method for permanent fat removal. Watch as Dr. Rollins explains and demonstrates this gentle, minimally invasive procedure known for its quick recovery times.
What is AirSculpt?
Technology: AirSculpt is an advanced body contouring method that removes fat cell by cell using an automated, minimally invasive technique.
Procedure: Fat is removed through a 2-millimeter hole while the patient is awake, compared to drilling into an Oreo cookie to remove the creamy center without damaging surrounding structures.
Key Features of AirSculpt
Precision and Safety: The automated system removes fat cells without harming lymphatics, blood vessels, or nerves, preserving natural tissue structure.
Speed: Despite its precision, the process is faster than traditional fat removal methods.
Skin Tightening: The procedure generates heat through friction, tightening the skin simultaneously as fat is removed.
Patient Experience
Awake During Procedure: Patients remain awake, providing feedback and adjusting positions for better results.
Comfort: Designed for comfort, using a dilute saline solution with lidocaine to numb the area and reduce bruising.
Aftercare: Patients wear a compression garment for two weeks (48 hours for chin treatments) and are encouraged to resume normal activities quickly to aid recovery.
Versatility and Results
Areas Treated: AirSculpt can remove fat from various body parts, including the abdomen, waist, chin, knees, and even less common areas like the buffalo hump.
Fat Transfer: Removed fat can be transferred to other areas such as the face, breasts, and hands for augmentation.
Results: Immediate improvements are typically seen, with gradual reduction of swelling and continued skin tightening over three months.
Ideal Candidates
Variety of Patients: Suitable for a wide range of patients, from those with significant fat to those needing minor refinements.
Large Patients: Effective for larger patients, often eliminating the need for a tummy tuck by tightening the skin.
Men: Popular among men, especially for areas like the chin, chest, and abdomen.
Follow-Up and Recovery
Follow-Up Visits: Patients return within the first week and then at three months for post-operative checks and photos.
Swelling Management: Initial swelling is due to water filling the empty space created by fat removal, which subsides over time.
Conclusion
AirSculpt offers a revolutionary approach to fat removal, combining precision, safety, and skin tightening in a single procedure. Dr. Rollins’s expertise and the method’s effectiveness make it a promising option for those seeking body contouring solutions.
