While traditional liposuction typically requires general anesthesia, FlexSculpt^® uses local anesthesia, allowing patients to remain awake during the procedure. This awake approach enables more precise targeting of problem areas and enhances patient safety. Recovery times are generally faster with FlexSculpt^®, and patients often experience less discomfort compared to traditional liposuction. Additionally, the minimally invasive nature of FlexSculpt^® results in fewer complications and a more comfortable healing process.

The amount of fat that can be safely removed during a FlexSculpt^® procedure varies by state due to different regulations. Generally, the maximum amount is between 4 to 5 liters (about 8 to 10 pounds). It’s essential to consult with a certified FlexSculpt^® provider to understand the specific guidelines in your area and to determine the appropriate amount for your individual needs.

Having a high BMI does not automatically exclude you from being a candidate for FlexSculpt^®. The suitability for the procedure is determined on a case-by-case basis, considering overall health, specific areas of concern, and individual goals. A thorough consultation with our specialist will help determine if this procedure is appropriate for you.

Recovery time after FlexSculpt^® is typically shorter compared to traditional liposuction. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and resume regular activities within one to two weeks. Since FlexSculpt^® is minimally invasive and uses local anesthesia, patients often experience less swelling, bruising, and discomfort, leading to a quicker and more comfortable recovery.

The fat cells removed during the FlexSculpt^® procedure are permanently eliminated and will not return. However, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to prevent remaining fat cells from expanding. Significant weight gain after the procedure can affect the results, so maintaining a stable weight is crucial for long-term success.

FlexSculpt^® is a safe and effective procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. The use of local anesthesia reduces the risks associated with general anesthesia, and the minimally invasive technique results in fewer complications. As with any medical procedure, it’s essential to follow all pre- and post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure optimal safety and results.

Yes, FlexSculpt^® is an effective solution for addressing asymmetry or uneven body distribution. The precision of the procedure allows surgeons to target specific areas and create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.

FlexSculpt^® is not a weight loss procedure but rather a body contouring technique designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. While the procedure can result in a slimmer appearance and improved body contours, it is not intended for significant weight loss. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential for sustaining the results.

During the FlexSculpt^® procedure, you will remain awake and comfortable under local anesthesia. The surgeon will make small incisions to access and remove the targeted fat deposits. The entire process typically takes a few hours, depending on the number of areas being treated. You can expect minimal discomfort during the procedure and will be able to go home the same day.

The results of FlexSculpt^® are long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. The fat cells removed during the procedure are permanently eliminated and will not return. However, remaining fat cells can expand with significant weight gain, so it’s crucial to follow a balanced diet and exercise routine to preserve the results.

You may be a suitable candidate for FlexSculpt^® if you are in good overall health, have stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, and are seeking a minimally invasive procedure with a shorter recovery time. A thorough consultation with our specialist will help determine if this procedure is appropriate for you based on your individual goals and medical history.

After FlexSculpt^®, the skin in the treated areas may tighten and conform to the new body contours. In some cases, additional treatments such as J-Plasma can be used to enhance skin tightening and improve overall results. J-Plasma uses cold plasma energy to promote skin contraction and collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer skin.
