AirSculpt concerns - Worried about recovery time, nerve damage and healing

Question

I am scheduled for Airsculpt next month. I scheduled for the procedure and they already charged me but now having 2nd thoughts. I'm worried about recovery as I only have 3 days off for this. I'm also concerned about nerve damage and the healing process. The sales person said, if we only go under the skin so there wouldn't be any damage to skin, she was more interested in getting me to sign the dotted line. Looking for an advice or suggestions.

The amount of recovery time varies among each individual person and to a great extent what part of the body is being treated.

There’s a big difference and recovering from someone having their chin treated versus their entire torso with a fat transfer procedure.

For a full body work I would say three days off work as a minimum and five days would be nice.

When in doubt I recommend patient schedule in person consultations to meet your surgeon and get a better understanding of the procedure and a more accurate assessment.

Typically staff having this procedure come back to work the following day or two.

What you should be worried about is getting results not getting back to work in 3 days. Must set your priorities which in my opinion should be about getting results. If you are pressed for time, then reschedule your contouring procedure as it is elective. More importantly, the gold standard for results is VASER liposuction. Please consider a virtual consultation with a high definition body contouring provider.

Big results come with big effort.Little, to no results come with no effort.Being comfortable with the provider who will do your procedure is very important. If you don’t feel confident with them, you shouldn’t do it with them.Hope this helps.Best. Dr Kristine Brecht
