Liposuction results depend on who is doing the treatment not the treatment or laser or device itself. You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty). Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.

Thanks for the question. I have dedicated my practice to liposuction. I lecture and write frequently on advances in safety, technique, and technology. I would use vaser ultrasound energy to emulsify and melt the fat allowing for easy removal of the excess stubborn fat. I would follow that with jplasma or ionized helium to max out the ability of the skin to tighten. The procedure would be done with my 1005 dedicated all star team of anesthesia and nurses who do the same case day in and day out. We use tranexamic acid to reduce blood loss, heparin to prevent blood clots and perform lymphatic drainage with brazilian specialists after surgery to heal you faster. We are now at a level that traditional lipo is simply not acceptable for the demands of the sophisticated patient
Thank you for your question. Yes airsculpt is safe and yields good results. Airsculpt is a gentler form of liposuction that removes just as much fat as traditional liposuction.
In knowledgeable hands, airsculpt is very safe and can yield excellent results. You should always talk to the surgeon who would perform the procedure to determine if it's a good option for you. The Elite Body Sculpture office in Dallas would be happy to answer any questions!Hope this helps! Good luck on your journey!!
Well no surgical procedure is 100% safe I believe Airsculpt is one of the safest cosmetic surgical procedures you can have.Risks of surgery depend on a combination of underlying factors which to some degree have to do with each individual patient.The clinics have an excellent reputation and tend to hire only well trained board-certified plastic surgeons who are very good at what they do.The procedure is done with patients awake avoiding general anesthesia.I recommend scheduling an in person consultation with one of the providers at the nearest location to you to get an accurate assessment and better understanding of the procedure.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD
Hi and welcome to our forum!If diet and exercise fail to achieve your goal, you may considerliposuction. Liposuction involves removal of fat through small pipes(cannulas) placed under the skin under extreme vacuum after pretreatment withan infusion of solution containing a blood vessel constrictor (to preventbleeding) and an anesthetic (if performed awake). Augmented liposuctionutilizes laser energy or ultrasonic energy to semiliquify the fat, making iteasier to remove and adds a subtle skin tightening effect. Airsculpt uses laser energy.Liposuction is a safe procedure. It is a reshaping procedure andnot a weight loss procedure. In general, the experience of the surgeon is more important thanthe type of instrument utilized.I recommend you visit a plastic surgeon with considerableliposuction experience and allow him / her to use the instrument with whichhe / she feels most comfortable.Bestwishes...
Excellent question,Liposuction Technologies have definitely evolved over the last decade.However, the skill and experience of the surgeon is what makes the technology great.Choose an expert.Best. Dr Brecht Seattle, Wa
