airsculpt ab and flank

Have had a little fat around my belly button and lower belly, plus a set of love handles no matter what fitness level I'm at. I did a virtual consult and was treated very nicely by the staff. They had an opening come up, and the whole thing happened so quickly. In ten days I was driving to Sacramento.I was extremely nervous and didn't get as much time to get a good idea of the outcome from the dr. I wish I had expressed more that I wanted my lower flanks removed. I wasn't in too much pain post op, I was able to drive five hours home, though miserably. I was able to walk, move about.3 days post op I took my first shower, and wasn't super excited at what I saw, but knew it was swelling. I'm currently one week post op and im horrified. There's a lot of tightness on my left back/flank area, and it's pushing all the fat out to one bulge where I specifically wanted to get the treatment!!!!!! It looks ridiculous, and makes me regret the entire procedure.I don't know what to do. It's only the left side that is horrifying, but both sides seem like he missed the spots I most wanted targeted. I couldn't speak to my surgeon at my one week consult, but I will on Monday.

Excited for the finished product! It is clear there are spots that were missed, but the staff have been concerned and helpful, I get to go in for a revision touch up in December. I am grateful.

I no longer regret this! I think it’s gonna look great. I’m still wearing my garments almost all the time, still experiencing some tenderness and swelling but I’m back to my water sports and lots of hiking. No running yet, but overall I don’t feel inhibited! Which is AMAZING!

So the first two weeks were hellacious. Given the swelling, confusion, and lack of experience I was unhappy.

I am going back for a touch up on my lower back in December, and because the procedure is so minimally invasive I don’t have to wait a full six months for the other bits to heal.



I have been very active with hours of walking and hiking every day since the procedure. Lunges and squats too. At day 18 I went surfing and was tired and sore after an hour, and considerably more sore the next day. But I feel like I’m getting better, and my healing will be related to how much I can listen to my body:
