Since the incision sites are relatively small, patients can heal and recover easily within a few weeks and sport a bathing suit without worrying too much about scars. Some patients report a significant reduction in cellulite in addition to body fat removal; this can be especially beneficial for individuals who are of average weight and want to get rid of unsightly bulges while losing the excess pounds.

Conventional liposuction techniques do not necessarily get rid of cellulite, and many liposuction patients pursue other treatments such as Velasmooth or endermologie to optimize results. With the Body Jet procedure, patients can see results immediately, and may not need to wear compression garments during the healing period. 

The BodyJet liposuction technique is a relatively new procedure in the United States, but has had significant success in Europe. Only a handful of skilled surgeons in the U.S. have had extensive experience with this technique, but those that are confident with the procedure are able to sculpt and trim down the body relatively easily. 

Since BodyJet is relatively less invasive and painful than traditional liposuction, it is only meant for individuals that are up to 25-35 pounds overweight. However, you should contact your local surgeon that performs this procedure for a consultation to find out if BodyJet is right for you.

BodyJet FAQ's

Where is BodyJet Performed? 
A trained liposuction physician will perform the procedure in a sanitary hospital room or surgery suite.

You will need to discuss with your physician for the exact details.

What areas can be treated with BodyJet? 
Almost any area of the body with too many fat deposits may be treated. The most common are the abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, arms and beneath the chin. Because BodyJet Lipo is a quick procedure with minimal downtime, patients are able to treat multiple problem areas during one visit.

When can I return to normal activity? 
With BodyJet, recovery is usually fast. Patients have reported being pain-free after 4-5 days.

How much does it cost?  
Compared to the cost of liposuction, BodyJet is extremely reasonable. However, prices vary depending on your personal situation. BodyJet is an affordable alternative to traditional liposuction.

Is the procedure permanent?   
Areas treated by BodyJet do not return. Post procedure weight gain is distributed in other areas of the body.

Is BodyJet right for me?
If you are in good health and no more than 25-35 lbs overweight, BodyJet might be right for you. You will need to see a qualified physician for a consultation to determine the final decision.
