Choosing between traditional type BBL w general anesthesia and Airsculpt power BBL?

Question

Can you transfer the same amount of fat in Airsculpt bbl that you can in traditional bbl and why is the cost for Airsculpt bbl so much higher than traditional bbl? I was quoted 18500 for the Airsculpt. —11000 for fat removal from abdomen abd 6000 for fat transferp . I realize the risks are less w Airsculpt but are the results less significant as well. Should you expect the surgeon to tell you about how many ccs of fat will be transferred?

Dear Plucky2762,
it is hard to predict how many ccs will be transferred. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

In the end whether you go to a large clinic or an individual private practice individual plastic surgeon there is only one surgeon doing your procedure and the outcome and how the procedures performed is up to that one single individual.

Elite Body Sculpture will not be doing your surgery but a Doctor Who works for them well if you opt for airsculpt.  The skills, results and outcomes is solely dependent on that individual persons skill and experience.

The type of anesthesia has no impact on the amount of fat grafted.

Some doctors engage in discussing actual cc grafted though using strictly numbers alone can be misleading because there are a fair number of variables that need to be differentiated to compare apples to apples etc. simply stating that one doctor graphs 400 mL while another graphs 600 mL does not mean that the doctor have graphs more will have MR impressive result or even a bigger results.

The procedure is a bit complex and you should go by individual providers long-term results as a guide for who does your procedure.

I never guarantee or commit to any specific number but I’m happy to talk about general numbers when it comes to both Liposuction and fat transfer.

Cosmetic surgery is based on free market economics and each provider or company sets their own prices.

Delivering consistent quality results with both Liposuction and fat transfer is more difficult than most people believe.

In the end choosing the most experienced and talented provider is by far the most important decision and most likely should trump cost differences unless they are extreme.

The most expensive cosmetic surgery you can have is poorly done cosmetic surgery.

Providers who work for specialty clinics tend to get a lot of experience since they do the same procedures over and over.

Best,
