Dr Zadoo and his team of amazing nurses, Sarah and Jennifer in particular that cared for me have made me feel welcome from the off. They genuinely care about your goals and how to achieve them whilst ensuring you have the top tier care both pre, during and post op. I'm one week in and cannot wait to see the final results.
This was my second time having a lipo procedure, but my first time at AirSculpt with Dr. Zadoo and his staff. Compared to my first experience at another office, plus all the other offices I had explored, I was blown away comparing. AirSculpt is so professional and just an overall better environment. The staff is friendly. I felt so informed at every stage of the experience. Dr. Zadoo didn’t try overselling me - he took a look at all my areas of interest and let me know where I’d get the most bang for my buck, and gave me his professional opinion to decide. 3 months later, he was spot on about the transformation I’d see. Compared to lipo, the healing process with AirSculpt was so much better. I was nice and drugged for the procedure, as they made sure I was very comfortable, and checked in throughout. Very happy with the results.
One week post op and already can see some improvement. The procedure itself was easy and I wish I did it sooner! Everyone from the front desk to the nurses have been super helpful. Excited to see how things heal up over the next weeks!
I had a great experience with my Airsculpt procedure. The staff was professional and attentive, making me feel comfortable throughout. I’m already seeing positive results and highly recommend it! Thank you
Dr. Zadoo and the team at AirSculpt Denver were phenomenal to work with. I had really let my abdominal area get out of control and while Ive had success with diet and exercise in the past, I really needed help with an apron belly. Dr Zadoo did great work and helped give me the jump start and the confidence to keep going. My clothes fit better, the apron is almost gone, and my overall contours are much better. Thank you so much!
My Doctor was very professional and to the point. I felt like I was in good hands the entire time and the staff was awesome as well! Procedure was faster than I expected and being able to leave same day was nice.
Hi! I just got Lipo + a BBL done today, and it was an amazing experience!! Dr. Zadoo + his team made me feel very comfortable, they were extremely professional, and I felt very safe the whole time. The aftercare instructions were communicated VERY clearly, and the staff answered all of my questions. I decided to go with Elite Body Sculpture to 1) avoid being put under and 2) because of the technology. Before and during the procedure, the medication and numbing solutions made me feel extremely comfortable, and I could carry on a conversation the whole time. After the procedure, I took medical transport home, and I have been able to managing my aftercare by myself. I am up walking around, and using the bathroom, I can make it up and down the stairs easily, and I have even taken a few short walks around the block (thus far the leakage has been minimal). I have been drinking lots of water, and It seems to be helping with some of the grogginess from the medication. Like any injury or trauma, I'm going to assume the next 2-4 days will be the most uncomfortable, especially as the numbing medication wears off. That said, I had my procedure at 7 AM, and it's after 6 PM now, and I have not taken anything, not even Tylenol to manage the pain. FWIW, I went into this procedure in very good health with a moderate to low-ish (19-22%) amount of body fat. I'm not a doctor, but I have to imagine that the better condition you are in physically before any procedure, the easier your healing process could be. Also, I have a very high pain tolerance, and I am not at all squeamish about blood or anything like that. If you are, being fully put under might be a better option because it is kind of weird to have surgery while being awake (Personally I thought it was so cool hahah). In all honesty, it was more comfortable than the dentist, and right now my belly feels very similar to when I had a hernia (laparoscopic) done in the early 10s. I've never given birth, but I could imagine for some people that Airsculpt would be a cakewalk. Anyhow, I cannot stress enough how amazing Dr. Zadoo and his team are. I feel very fortunate and grateful to have had such a positive experience. If you are in the Denver area, I highly recommend Elite Body Sculpture. I'm so stoked and I cannot wait to see my final results!!!!!! Updated on 4 Oct 2022: General Update: Swelling, Eating, BM, Natural Results, Aftercare, First 2 Showers, Sleeping...ETC. ***I'M SO NOT A DOCTOR - FOLLOW YOUR SURGEON'S SPECIFIC PROTOCOL, I'M SHARING MY JOURNEY AND WHAT WORKS FOR ME, BUT EVERYTHING IS BEING DONE UNDER MY DR.'S SUPERVISION*** GENERAL I am so pleased with my results thus far, even if my butt is to go down in volume (I am so stoked that I have the cute athletic butt I always wanted!!). Dr. Zadoo did a wonderful job contouring my body, and I think my results look super natural (let's be honest, I could not pull off a dump-trunk booty). Anyhow, here's what's up: FOOD/HYDRATION/SWELLING Today I woke up much more swollen and bloated TBH I had some high sodium food yesterday... specifically, meat - I'm plant-based, and the only way I could get it down was by mixing it with a bunch of sauce... I will say it's crazy how much my bruising has gone down, and I reckon it's from the arnica (I've been taking orally + topically both pre and post-op), and Iron in the meat. That said, 2 meat meals were enough for me...ick. Post-op, I asked Dr. Zandoo about a saline drip. Because I did airsculpt and not traditional lipo, the only fluid pushed during the procedure were antibiotics, so fluid levels were not a concern. Dr. Zadoo said it wouldn't do any harm, but he did recommend it as it would contribute to the swelling. I woke up Sunday feeling pretty icky dehydrated and had like I had a nitrous hangover... (hahah I think I've been to wayyyy too many Dead and Co. shows - like who on earth knows what a nitrous hangover feels like lol...), so I opted to get a drip. It did make me more bloated; However, it helped me get through the grogginess of the nitrous and has supplemented my hydration levels as I struggle to drink water... This is one of those "do what I say, not what I do situations." You should always 1st listen to your doctor and follow their specific protocol to the letter, and 2nd listen to your body. After Dr. Zadoo confirmed that, that a saline drip would not cause any harm or have any adverse effects, knowing my body and having had many drip lines put in before - I made a call that felt right for me. BM This leads me to my next "thing," which is likely directly related to my hydration levels, I haven't had a BM since before my procedure (~4 days ago), and I am pretty irregular as is (like every other day or every three days). Because I'm not taking anything for the pain, I think it's just the stress on my system. I will drink a coffee this afternoon and see if that helps, but it has directly contributed to the bloating and fullness LEAKAGE/SLEEPING I am still leaking, but it's manageable and only from 2 of the incisions. It's funny I can tell which side has more pressure while I'm sleeping... the incisions on my right low abdomen and the bruising on that side are significantly "worse" than the left... I prop a pillow under my left knee and sleep in a "safety type" - think Rose in the water from Titanic - face-down position. In terms of sleeping, I've managed to stay on my stomach. I find it most difficult in the morning when I wake up because i'll start to get up like I always have, put a tiny bit of weight on my side, and then remember I shouldn't do that. It's like a muscle memory thing, but other than that, I've been off my butt completely. My trusty exercise ball has become my best friend. When I need to stretch my back, I just lay my stomach down and rock back and forth... IDK... WOUND CARE/ HEALING/COMPRESSION All but 3 of my entry points have scabbed over. Once I get the green light - I'll start hydrocolloid bandages (SIDEBAR: Hydrocolloid bandages are often sold as blister bandages or Tegaderm and are not be used with any ointment. I used to race bikes, and I've dealt with so much road rash. With my skin, I seem to heal the fastest and have the least amount of scarring if I keep my wounds moist while healing, and hydrocolloid bandages do an excellent job of this. These bandages use your body's moisture to create a gel seal around the wound which means fewer dressing changes and more coverage; However, !!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU SHOULD NEVER PUT A HYDROCOLLOID BANDAGE ON A DRAINING WOUND!!!!!!! Scabs need to have formed, and I am waiting to get the green light from my Dr. as this could have MAJOR adverse effects if one of the entry points became infected due to the accumulation of excess fluid.) Speaking of bandages, I was struggling a little bit initially... I found the lipo foams and ab board somewhat unsanitary, even with the pads. Before I showered at the 48 hr mark, I changed my dressings regularly, but the lipo pads quickly became soiled and reusing the same dirty dressings didn't seem sanitary. It's weird like your skin doesn't have sensation, so its hard to know when it's time to change your dressings. I just started checking every time I took a wee. Oh and speaking of the toilet (again sorry), it's really easy to avoid sitting on the toilet if you pee facing the back, like a man or someone with male parts could. You like straddle it and squat, and for whatever reason it seems to minimize dripping (i think due to tha angle) so its seems more sanitary (shrug)... Ok back to dressings. Initially, I purchased just normal-sized maxi pads, (Poise pads (long length, moderate flow)). I was released from the office with the same ones (cuz they're dirt cheap), anyhow they just weren't cutting it, so I Amazoned the WORLDS BIGGEST PADS, seriously they are longer than the widest part of my torso, which has given me the peace of mind that 1) the leakage is under control, 2) my wounds are being kept clean, 3) adequate compression is being applied. I have been covering my whole stomach in these pads (not really, just where the incisions are) - hack, leave the thing little plastic thing that exposes the adhesive on.., then apply the lipo foams (clean), and then the ab board. Anything that looks the least bit dirty, I remove and either throw out (pads and foam) or spot clean (ab and lumbar board) immediately. It's wasteful, but I'm more concerned about preventing infection than conserving foam and bandages. Currently, I have 1 faja, and even with all the compression layers and bloating, I'm on the last row of eyelets. SHOWERING/WASHING MY FAJA in terms of washing the garment to clean it, right before I shower, I run it under hot hot hot water in the sink and ring it out till the water runs clear, then I throw it directly into the dryer (alone) on low while I'm in the shower. I have chosen not to wash it with detergent as my skin is really sensitive atm, and i prefer not to introduce any additional chemicals or irritants while I'm healing. Once my Faja is in the dryer, I lay a puppy pad on my bath mat (more later) and hop in. I try to run the water lukewarm as my skin is SUPER sensitive right now... In the shower, first, I start with all of my basic self-care with regular products... from the top down. hair/face/shaving (no body wash or shave cream, i have one of those fancy razors with it built in)... then I follow the aftercare protocol washing every nook and cranny (don't forget your belly button lol) with surgical soap, and then I do like very very very light lymphatic massage and like just hold my hands on my stomach, for whatever reason, I feel like just light skin to skin contact, especially where I've been lipo'd, is helping restore the feeling and the nerves in my stomach (probably all in my head). I very, very gently wash my backside. I use the little scrub thing the nurses provided to lightly go over the lumbar area, NOT WHERE THE FAT was injected but just above it. I hope it increases so blood flow (shrug). Once I'm done, instead of using a towel, I put my hair up and AIR DRY completely... IMHO, unless you are using a freshly laundered towel, there's more potential for harm than good, but what can I say... I'm overly cautious, and I have the luxury of time .... eventually I'll just stand on my bath mat, but because I still leak a bit especially in the shower (heat gets the blood circulating) it's just easier to clean. After I'm COMPLETELY dry, I fetch my faja from the dryer (lol - naked mad dash), and I do my wound care and arnica gel. I slip on my nice and toasty faja, stuff it with all the things, and I'm G2G. All and all, this takes me about 50 min. Longer than I normally like to shower, but hey.. health and safety is important. POST-OP/OVERALL THOUGHTS I have my 1-week post-op scheduled for this Saturday. So far, so good in terms of aftercare. I've managed entirely on my own, well, not entirely... I've had the help of Amazon and Uber eats (what a world I live in where I can have green juice delivered daily.. seriously, I'm blessed). Cleaning up the wounds and showering is straightforward (just using common sense, see above). Instructions were communicated clearly, and its a breeze. Like I said before. Besides the not sitting down part, this has been smoother than getting my wisdom teeth out. I feel strongly that you get what you pay for, and I know my results will be 100% because of the Airsculpt technology, the skill, and the level of care I have received from Elite Body Sculpture + Dr. Zadoo. NEXT STEPS/ECT./FUNNY STUFF - I saw my shadow yesterday before showering, and I was like: "whoa, even my shadow has a butt" - It's taking a minute to get used to my new dimensions... like seriously, I think my center of gravity has changed like I accidentally (gently) brush my butt up against the counter yesterday when I turned around lol... Pray for me that my clothing fits lol. - As I mentioned above, I found the biggest pads ever to help with leakage, and I've been cracking up because wrapped up, they are larger than a La Croix can. - Tomorrow is my first professional lymphatic massage, and I'm so so so so so hoping it helps me poop. - You know you're in it when you're googling: "how to get your lashes done if you can't lay on your back" ROFL.
I wanted to start my review on the day of the surgery, to give people an idea of how the procedure itself works while it's still fresh in my mind. I had Airsculpt of the full abdomen as well as the lower bra roll in the Denver EBS office. Dr. Zadoo was really open and straightforward, and even advised me against getting certain areas done, which I appreciated. The procedure was more stressful than the cheery promotional videos make it seem, but I fully attribute this to me and my crippling fear of needles. Nurse Kathy Tran was amazing, she even brought me two stress balls to squeeze when I had a mild panic attack on the operating table. They also gave me two Xanax beforehand, but I do have a very slow metabolism (part of how I ended up at AirSculpt lol), and they didn't really kick in until halfway through the procedure. They also provided laughing gas, but since I was more hyperventilating into it than actually breathing, I don't think I got the full benefit. All this to say that I definitely did not have the experience people talk about where it feels like a vibrating sensation or a massage - I was pretty aware of what was happening until about halfway through, when the Xanax and copious laughing gas caught up with me and I fell asleep. The parts I did feel were...not pleasant. Definitely not like having a limb cut off or anything, but I was pretty uncomfortable. Kathy and Dr. Zadoo were incredibly patient and kind, even though I kept squirming/flailing/moving my arms (at one point I think I even touched Dr. Zadoo on accident, which definitely is a surgery no-no). They showed me the pretty hefty amount of fat they took out and then brought me to the recovery room where I fell asleep pretty much immediately. At some point they put me in the onesie with a bunch of padding in it, but I honestly don't remember much there. I opted to go with their post-surgery concierge Danielle Shah, and if you are in Denver I can't recommend her enough. She gave me great advice on the days leading up to the surgery (increase iron, protein, and Vitamin C intake) as well as taking Zinc, Bromelian, and Arnica supplements to help speed up the healing process. She picked me up from surgery with water and Vitamin C lollipops, then did a lymphatic massage. It seriously looked like a crime scene, but she was AMAZING. I haven't had a ton of leaking since, because she was able to get so much out during the massage. I fell asleep standing up while she was massaging, and so she helped me get into bed, made sure I had all my medications and supplements, as well as plenty of water. I woke up several hours later feeling pretty sore, but I took one of the industrial Tylenol they gave me and that helped a lot. Then I fell asleep for another few hours, and woke up to texts from both Danielle and Dr. Zadoo checking on how I was feeling. At that point, having had some time to sleep off the medication, I understood what they meant by their advertising claims of being able to go out to dinner the same day. Although I had incisions on my upper abs, back, sides, and who knows where else, I felt mostly fine. The only part of me that is in genuine pain is the incision they made by my bellybutton, as I had surgery that went through the same area in 2018. Unfortunately since it is a pretty central part, it makes standing up and lying down hard, but the rest of my body is completely fine. I'm excited to see how the results keep progressing! Right now it's impossible to tell what my body looks like because I have about 6 inches of foam and pads shoved in the faja haha. Updated on 1 May 2022: Woke up this morning feeling pretty sore all over, especially my bellybutton area. I had to do a kind of slide out of bed thing to get on my feet. Didn't have any leaking beyond the padding last night, BUT the pads were all completely soaked through. I had a second lymphatic drain massage with Danielle scheduled for this afternoon, so I didn't feel too bad about taking the faja off to remove the padding. To say I was horrified by what I saw is an understatement. I had a pretty bad rash on my left side, and my lower stomach was completely filled with fluid, you could see it swishing around. I also have a lot of stretch marks on my lower stomach thanks to a massive mental breakdown a few years ago where I gained 60 lbs, and they were absolutely disgusting - they looked like swollen worms. I called EBS to see if I was overreacting, and they suggested Benadryl and Benadryl cream. I couldn't find Benadryl cream, but a combo of Benadryl and Cortizone cream seems to be doing the trick. My second drainage massage was an experience for sure. There are two types of post op massage apparently - one where they kind of gently guide fluid into your lymph nodes so it's expelled naturally, and one where they straight up push it out of the incisions. I had the second option, and if the idea of someone pressing fluid out of you sounds disgusting, it absolutely is. I wouldn't recommend this route if your pain tolerance is low or if you get easily nauseous. I had to take a couple breaks because I could see myself turning green in the bathroom mirror and my stomach turned over a few times when I saw liquid literally squirting (and I do mean squirting) out of my sides. In hindsight though, it was completely worth it. I should have taken a pic after Danielle was done with her massage, because the liquid in my lower stomach was pretty much gone and I looked so much better. However, she was pretty eager to get me back in the faja and helped adjust the foam pads to help with my horrific bruising. I felt a million times better after the drainage. I tried to go on a walk this morning, but made it about a half block before I had to turn around. I was also walking like a hunchback because my bellybutton hurt too much to stand up all the way. After the massage I had a lot more energy and was able to walk around no problem. I did go back to work this morning, but I work remotely so was able to take my meetings camera off in bed. Not sure if I would have wanted to walk into an office. I also opted to stay in a hotel to recover so I didn't get my nice furniture disgusting and so my dogs didn't jump on me until my incisions closed. I would highly recommend doing this if you're able. My only regret is that I went with a pretty sketch budget motel because I didn't want to leak fluid all over a nice place, but given that I've managed to keep the leaking under control with pads, I think a non cheap motel environment would have been way more relaxing and enjoyable. Warning that the pics from today are pretty gross, but that's really been my theme of the day. Updated on 1 May 2022: It's too bad AirSculpt has leaned in to "you don't need prescribed narcotics!" as a thing that sets them apart, because my first waking thought Day 3 was "Dear God I wish I had some narcotics". One of the things that made me choose AirSculpt over Vaser was their quoted 48 hours downtime, 2 weeks to full activity when Vaser clinics quoted 7 days downtime, 6 weeks to full activity. I suspect AirSculpt has the exact same healing process, you just don't get any useful painkillers out of it. I left the hotel and got back to my house, greeted by pretty excruciating pain as soon as I walked in the door when both my pups jumped up on me at once to say hi. My husband suggested a "light hike" to see if that helped, but I could barely get out of the car. I did get 2 miles of walking in over the course of the day, but it wasn't pretty or all at once. Then I took my first shower in over 48 hours and it was so nice not to be covered in blood and fluid and who knows what else. I weighed myself afterwards even though I knew I shouldn't. I gain weight really easily when I'm stressed out, and I gained 8 lbs in the week before my appointment, despite the fact that I work out 5 days a week, 2x a day for three of those, and was being really mindful of getting proper nutrition before surgery. The second heaviest I've ever been in my life was the morning of surgery. The absolute heaviest was yesterday, when I'd gained 2lbs. So that leaves me at exactly 10lbs heavier than this time last week. I realize it's not a weight loss procedure, but I wasn't expecting it to be a massive weight gain event either, especially almost 20k later. This morning I woke up feeling fine, but that disappeared pretty quickly. I also started my period today, so in all I've gone about a thousand steps and spent most of the day sprawled out in misery on the couch. My back, abdomen, and sides are all in constant pain that 800mg of Tylenol doesn't make a dent in. I took an edible a few minutes ago so crossing my fingers that works. No picture updates because everything hurts too much to remember to take them. Updated on 2 May 2022: The bruising on my abdomen seems to have gotten worse, or at least migrated to more places. I've read reviews where people had post op bruising and said "it looks worse than it feels!" but this feels exactly how it looks. I've been downing Arnica and Bromelian tablets, upping my iron intake, and eating pineapple like it's going out of style, but nothing seems to help. Hopefully it starts healing in the next few days. Updated on 4 May 2022: Yesterday I woke up in indescribable pain, and only partly because my husband accidentally walloped me in his sleep. I've been working over the past few years to get myself out of an extremely dark place mentally, and about 8 months ago started putting a lot of effort into myself physically with no noticeable result. I really hoped this would be the jumpstart to feeling like "me" again. Instead, I could barely move for the vast majority of yesterday, and one of my incisions started leaking again. Immobile and dripping disgusting fluid wasn't really the return to myself I envisioned. I did make myself run errands for some fresh air and mobility, but I mostly just dragged myself through Target hating every step. I also had a lymphatic massage with Danielle, and although it was a bit uncomfortable on the places with severe bruising it was pretty pleasant, especially compared to the fluid squirting massage a couple days ago. It definitely helped, as you can see in the pics from yesterday vs today. Today is still ridiculously painful though, with the added adventure of being incredibly swollen everywhere. I woke up with an EXTREMELY puffy face and swollen legs that made it look like I'd gained 40lbs overnight. My back and abs are so swollen that my clothes legitimately don't fit. Really a great experience overall when I had to give a presentation to the VP of a huge client company this afternoon. Thank God for remote work and flattering camera angles. STILL leaking fluid almost a week out, and my husband is annoyed at me for being dramatic, but I legitimately can't bend over without wanting to cry. I can't work out, my clothes don't fit, and I can't sleep at night because everything hurts so badly and is swollen in weird places. A week ago, I was proud of myself for making an "investment" in my well being. I don't have an option other than to stick it out at this point, but I wish I'd spent my 18k getting drunk on a fancy beach for a month straight instead. I'd come back less bruised, less swollen, and way happier. Update: for some reason RealSelf won't let me post my photos, and I'm too stressed out and depressed to put any more effort into it. Updated on 6 May 2022: Yesterday I was still pretty swollen, but I could at least put on a pair of pants and my loosest top for an in-person work meeting. I had my 1-week post op, where I voiced my concerns with bruising, pain, swelling, and leaking. Nurse Kathy was very patient and shared that she was 3 months out from a similar procedure. She said the 1st week was the worst, but things should improve rapidly after week 2. She also said there didn't seem to be any signs of infection or serious adverse reaction, so that was a help. She.asked if I had changed into a Stage 2 faja yet, but I told her my post op one still fit on the loosest hook. Last night after my shower I noticed that the faja was suddenly too loose on the loosest hook, so I adjusted it to the tightest one. This morning the loosest hook was a bit loose! I put on my stage 2 faja (bought off Amazon on Kathy's recommendation since it's less expensive than buying from AirSculpt) this morning. Although it's pretty tight, I actually feel food for the first time in days. I've noticed a lot of my bruising has turned from horrific black/purple/red to yellow, and I can wear my regular clothes again. I also tried on some clothes from about halfway through my complete breakdown/depressive slump and was excited to see that those fit as well. I know a lot of it is being smashed into the stage 2 faja, but I'm starting to get pretty thrilled by how I'm looking. I genuinely didn't think I'd be writing an update like this a few days ago, and I feel really hopeful and excited for the future! Updated on 8 May 2022: My bruises are a lot better, and I'm starting to be a lot more active and comfortable when I sleep. Really thrilled to just be a bit sore, not doubled over in pain. I've seen reviews where people compare the feeling to DOMS, but to me it feels more like falling down a flight of stairs. Updated on 16 May 2022: I finally am back into a (somewhat) normal routine, and really happy about it! My bruising is almost completely gone, although I definitely still feel like I'm recovering from an accident or injury. I worked out for the first time since surgery yesterday and it was great! It was a pretty core focused class, which I had been hoping NOT to do, but it was a lot less painful than I anticipated and I think it was helpful to get blood circulating in that area. I took my dogs on a hike the day before with no issues, so I'm happy for the sake of my sanity to be able to do more activity. I will say that I still haven't lost any weight, so am still sitting at my post surgery high. I think part of that is that there's still a LOT of swelling going on, and I've been drinking an insane amount of water a day to try and flush out the swelling. I'm seeing some really positive changes in terms of how my clothes fit, so I'm trying not to let it get inside my head too much. I do have a hard pocket of swelling right in my lower abdomen under my bellybutton that doesn't seem to go away. I'm getting another lymphatic massage this afternoon so hoping that helps. I also bought some massage tools off Amazon that should be coming in the next few days so I can up my at home game a bit from the tennis ball/roller massages I've been doing.
Well it's been 24 hours post op for me. I have loved my whole 33 years in weight fluctuation and ny arms and double chin have brought my super confidence self to tears and depression! Here's my 24 hour post op photos yall. I already see a huge difference in my face!!! And ny garment is stuffed with gauze!! I can't wait to take off my garments tomorrow and see the results! I'll follow up later with the procedure specifics :) Updated on 2 Feb 2022: Still very swollen, which is just remarkable to me because there is a huge difference!!! I can't wait to hit that 3 month mark. I tried on every single top and blazer that didn't fit me 2 weeks ago, and many of them are LOOSE!! Not gonna lie, I almost cried. I'll update you guys with my chin too this weekend. Face is still very swollen around the jowls area and there is some scar tissue I need to start massaging out starting this weekend. Happy with my face too though! Updated on 2 Feb 2022: Closer photos! I'm trying to upload my side by sides and they are too large. Ugh! So these will have to do for now....If anyone knows how to compress these pics from my phone, please share.................
Please be cautious before choosing this place. They advertised the procedure as a “natural tummy tuck” with no pain and minimal scars—but that couldn’t be further from the truth. My experience was incredibly disappointing. The liposuction was done while fully awake. The procedure was extremely painful, and the results were poor. I had to get another procedure to fix the damage done by airscuplt. The fat transfer technique was especially concerning. Rather than carefully placing the fat, they injected it using a gun (instead of carefully placing the fat). In my case, none of the transferred fat lasted. Dr. Zadoo rushed through the procedure, and the follow-up care was minimal at best. The staff seemed bothered when I would call with after care questions. I hope this helps others make a more informed decision.
