Worth It. Best decision ever!

I had my procedure on June 16, 2023, Airsculpt and Airsculpt + upper/lower abdomen for phase 1. My coordinator did a good job following up, but at times the return emails were slow. I think because they were so busy.

I have my procedures in phases based on how I'd need to rest the areas. Phase 1 upper lower abdomen. Phase 2 waist/hips, flanks upper lower back, bra roll and fat transfer.

The procedure was fairly simple. I was taken to a room where I waited for the doc. Vitals were taken then photos. The doctor went over my expected results. I was told I would not have a totally flat belly because of my shape but to wait 6 months for final results before deciding on a tiny tuck. After I went through sharpie gate, I was taken to the operating room and given an antibiotic a Xanax and maybe one other pill. Compression leg pads were added to prevent blood clots in the legs, then I got a shot to numb my areas.

Now, I was told I'd have 3 incision points, left abdomen, right abdomen and belly button. I actually had 2 incision points in my belly. I wasn't told why (see photo).

During the procedure, there was no communication like you see in all the videos on YouTube lol. I didn't get to select my music again like they suggest on YouTube. I was sedated so I suppose it didn't matter lol. I felt the removal of fat from the ribs. It was more uncomfortable than painful. If people say it doesn't hurt or you feel nothing they are LYING!

The procedure took about 1-1.5 hours. I did not talk to the doctor. When he was done he left. This was one of the things I did not like. He didn't say how much he removed, what to expect how it went. Nothing... The nurse did show me a container of fat at one point, but that was it. The nurse then put me in a compression garment and a foam board with instructions. There were no instructions on what to do with the 4 medications prescribed except the antibiotics. Then I went home.

The pain happened on days 2-3 especially standing and walking but once I started moving I was fine. Walking helps the process of healing faster. I would say my frequent walks helped me go back to work afterwards.

The drainage is tumescent fluid not blood I believe. It's red and looks like blood. If that was blood I drained then I think I would have been lightheaded because it was a lot.

I did receive a follow up call the day after and asked about the meds. 1 was for pain, 1 for nerve pain, one for nausea and the other was an antibiotic.

I am on week 2 and a day. I will say this was worth it as the results really are immediate. I am down 4 sizes and I feel good. Now I just need to figure out about the open pores (that's what ot looks like) on my stomach and wait out the itching (nerves waking up), the swelling and hard as a rock lower half.

5 weeks post op and I love my body. They say it's not for weight loss, but with a good meal regime and determination, you can have the body you want, with airsculpt of course lol. I am down from an 18/20 to 10/12, 2xl to a medium. Inches lost and -15 lbs since the procedure. It's so worth it!!!

Photos I took today and some old photos so you can see the difference. Two months post op!!!! I added this for one of the viewers. I also did a video but it's too big. Will try to compress. I promise yall this procedure is the business! #StillHappy
I am down 20 pounds and hoping to be down 20 more before phase 2. What do yall think? LMK of you ja e any questions.
