I’m considering getting breast enhancement through Airsculpt. I’m just looking to fill my cup - currently deflated after two children. I’m on the skinny side. The doc just wanted to set realistic expectations that there might not be enough fat to give a full cup more but more subtle. The big concern is the downtime. In 3.5 weeks post op I have a vacation where I plan on wearing a bikini. How much of the bruising/swelling is visible? Being on the skinnier side, is swelling/bruising faster to heal?

Answer: Breast fat transfer You should avoid sun exposure after any procedure. I would expect that the bruising from fat transfer would be resolved by that point. If you are thin, you may not have enough tissue for a meaningful fat transfer. Additionally, I agree that Airsculpt is yet another in a long series of gimmicks. Focus on your surgeon’s credentials and concern instead.

Answer: Is there less swelling after Airsculpt lipo and fat transfer to breasts if the person is skinny vs. on the heavier side? A few things:1. Recovery from a fat transfer to the breasts is usually fast, other than the breast swelling which takes a few week.2. Fat transfer to the breasts gives modest results (unless a few sessions are done) so it is important to have realistic expectations. Cup sizes are not useful as they are not standardized. Volume sizers may be better to set expectations. 3.. Airsculpt Lipo is a marketing gimick and the results are no better than any other type of lipo. If any surgeon claims that Airsculpt is better, then ask for published studies on it (there are none). 4. Bruising and swelling depends on technique and other variable. You will wear a compression garment for a few week which will cover the bruising and reduce swelling. See link below for examples.
