I think people call it chicken fat right?
Yeah, my chicken fat has gotten bigger with age.
It's right here.
You see that.
I'm Kim and today I'm
going to get Airsculpting on my armpits.
This area has always bothered me and
I've always wanted to fix it.
I've never worn tube tops
for this reason.
I do not like wearing spaghetti straped
anything.
During my wedding, I actually
paid for a personal trainer to
try to work out that area of my body.
I didn't spend a whole lot of money on the dress
but I did make up for it with what I paid for personal training.
I wanted to do this
now because I feel like technology
has gotten so much better
in plastic surgery.
I've heard reviews of people being able to
go to work the very next day.
So recovery time is a lot faster.
I'm Adam Schaffner.
I am a board certified plastic surgeon.
I'm in private practice here at Elite Body Sculpture.
Our patient Kimmy, is having Airsclupture
performed on her front bra roll
otherwise known as the armpit
to decrease fullness
and better highlight the breast.
This is where the access point will be made.
That's okay with you? That'll be well hidden?
Yep.
We are going to go into the other room and
take care of this for you.
Airsculpt can be performed with the patient
awake and still completely comfortable
including laughing gas.
What we are going to do is start with your left side.
I am going to ask you to bring your left arm up.
So there's no needles.
There's not scalpels and there are no stitches.
so we are able to go ahead and numb that area
just by a little click like that.
We are going to put glasses on you in a moment.
And it's to protect your eyes from the laser.
The laser that we use
helps to stimulate collagen formation
which results in tightening of the tissue
And then by using Aiscultp
with proprietary canulases,
special straws if you will,
to help suction out the
fat that is causing that fullness.
You can kind of think of it like
coarse sand paper.
medium and fine sand paper
as far as putting finishing touches on.
Kimmy is an excellent candidate for this procedure
because she does her best with diet and excercise
and despite this, still has localized
deposits of fat.
That is was Airsculpt is designed to do.
It is designed to target those trouble areas that are
difficult to reduce fat
Congratulations the front bra rolls are all done.
We can see here
how there's no more fullness in this area
and now you can see theres a natural concavity here.
You can see how that area is much flatter
than it was.
Overall, I think she'll have a very good result.
Kimmy, will be up and walking
immediately after her procedure.
She'll be able to
go back to the gym
to start light activity within the first two weeks.
And then resume her activities as usual
gradually going to heavier activities
4 to 6 weeks following her procedure.
We then have the patient wear a compression garment
for at least two weeks following the procedure
that will help
maximize the result by minimizing swelling
and allowing the tissues to tighten and contract.
It's been two weeks since my surgery
and I feel great.
I am back to normal.
I went back to work the very next day.
I mean this procedure is so minor.
I don't understand why more people dont do it.
I want to say the most challenging part of this entire process
is having to wear the compression garment
but I felt no
type of pain.
This looks fantastic, I am so happy for you.
Well, it's completely closed and healing
very nicely and it will continue to heal.
You are going to see continued improvement
over the next 3 months and even beyond that point.
It has changed the way I dress.
I typically would not wear this dress
without a jacket
and today I've worn this dress
without a jacket, all day long.
And I think overall, I feel happy.
I mean, you should do whatever it is
that you want to do that makes you feel better.
