I’m a 53 obese woman, Ive had one child. I am considering airsculpting laser LIposuction to achieve body contouring. I’ve opted for this procedure because it is minimally invasive and does not require general anesthesia and I would be woke through the whole procedure, with very low pain and immediate return to activities. I’m told a maximum of 5 L of fat can be extracted and used for fat transfer to my butt. Can I achieve realistic results with this procedure that is expensive at $13,000?
