I wanted something that would get rid of my rolls so that I can feel confident

My Airsculpt Experience

I did the procedure just yesterday. I did it in Chicago, and I had Dr. Paressi. The procedure was supposed to be done at 7am, I had to be there at 6:30. He showed up around 9, he was running late. He wasn't the most "warm and friendliest" but he was very honest which I appreciated. I would definitely do it again with the same Dr. I had my upper abdomen, lower abdomen, flanks, waist, and back bra roll. For reference, I am 5ft and 160 pounds. I have had children and I am still continuing to lose weight. I know this isn't a weight loss procedure, but I wanted something that would get rid of my rolls so that I can feel confident in high waisted jeans. Haha. I am now almost 24 hours post op. I will post before pictures, and also after pictures tomorrow when I can take off the compression garment when I can shower (no showers for 48 hours after the procedure). The procedure was painful. I'm not going to lie. They gave me Xanax, an antibiotic, and something so I don't feel nauseous. They then gave me a numbing shot in my arm (Demerol). Will update tomorrow on the 48hours post op and will continue to post more photos. Feel free to ask me anything! The entire procedure cost me about 13k.

The pain. I was not prepared for it. And the recovery pain as well. I’m supposed to get my legs done and I’m scared to go back bc it hurt so bad.

So pain during procedure or afterwards?

No pain afterwards. Just sore like if i just worked out. Pain during the procedure i would say 5/10 and only around my bellybutton. everywhere else just felt like a hard massage, the pain was more tolerable.

As you were in recovery the first 48 hours, how intense was your drainage? I feel drenched and it’s red, which I think is normal considering the procedure. I had exactly what you had. Just curious as I’m not sure if I should be concerned about the amount of fluid, and the fact that it looks like blood.

Hi! Thanks for sharing. Did you do the air sculpt+ too? I just got a quote for abs including flanks and waist plus inner and outer thighs. My main problem in abs area is lower abs and I’m satisfied with the other areas. Just for abs she quoted me at $10k plus a $2k surgery fee plus $4k for airsculpt + to tighten skin. I feel like I’m getting a little ripped off / upsold as it’s not like I have a lot of loose skin in that area.

Are you saying it was painful during the procedure or afterwards?

Very sore. Almost as if I just worked out. I’m walking frequently like normal throughout my day. The only issue I have is getting up, sitting down, or bending over to pick up something. The weird numbness and slight pain I’m feeling when sitting down or getting back up goes away shortly . It is hard putting my shoes on though. I will post a before and after picture. I see a lot of definition on the upper part of my abdomen and side flanks. There is a lot more swelling though the lower abdomen and pubic area that will go away. When I sit down there are no rolls.
