Fat Reduction
Fun Sculpting
Sculpt and contour
If you wish to enhance or plump other areas of the body, Fun Sculpting liposuction with fat transfer can be used on the areas of the body you wish to accentuate. Areas such as the buttocks can be enhanced, giving your body the curve and emphasis of an hour glass shape with comparable results to a traditional buttock augmentation.
Due to the advanced vibration-assisted technology, the fat cells remain healthy and intact when extracted from unwanted areas, meaning they will thrive when transferred to the new area. With traditional fat transfer, results are widely varied and can be unpredictable because of the death of the fat cells that are transferred.
The risk with traditional fat transfer is that a significant amount of fat can be reabsorbed into the body and the plumping effects begin to subside overtime. This can leave the patient feeling like the long-term result is not as much of an improvement as they expected and hoped for. However, with the high quality fat that is transferred in our body sculpting treatments, optimal results are achieved with rejuvenating effects to the skin, and longer-lasting results compared to traditional fat transfer.
Downtime and recovery
There is minimal downtime, but it will depend on the amount and location of the fat you are transferring. Typically, one day at home is all that is needed before you can resume normal daily activities and you may experience mild soreness or bruising for 3-6 weeks. The surrounding tissue will be left undamaged, resulting in an easier recovery compared to traditional liposuction.
It is typically recommended to wear a compression garment post procedure in treated areas to ensure your body heals and conforms to your desired shape. It is also suggested to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting until you receive notice from your treatment provider.
Liposuction with fat transfer
Fun Sculpting at Elite Med Spa, implements advanced vibration technology to heat the tissue surrounding fat deposits, allowing them to be gently dislodged and extracted with precision. This innovative system can dramatically remove and optionally harvest fat for meticulous contouring, volume restoration and plumping.
The vibration-assisted technology targets only the fat cells, allowing for precise removal without the excessive trauma to the body caused during invasive procedures. As a minimally invasive treatment, there is significantly less swelling and discomfort, and is essentially a gentler form of liposuction. Because the quality of the fat is preserved during removal, the fat has a higher rate of survival when transferred to other areas.
Our liposuction with fat transfer is a quick in-office procedure that only requires topical anesthesia to help you feel comfortable during your treatment.

Sentient Sculpt
Benefits of Sentient Sculpt
This non-invasive treatment shines with its effectiveness in targeting stubborn fat pockets, without damaging the surrounding tissue. The stimulated collagen production helps to fight skin laxity and minimize the chance of any loose skin after fat reduction.
Fat removal
The microwave energy penetrates into the deep layer of fat underneath the skin to destroy the cell membranes of subcutaneous adipose cells and actively dissolve targeted fat deposits. Natural cellular metabolism (lipolysis) then eliminates the fat cells.
Cellulite reduction
The connective tissue surrounding adipose lobules are stimulated, reducing the appearance of cellulite and smoothing out the targeted areas.
Skin tightening
Collagen fibers are contracted, promoting the production of new collagen in the skin to tighten and tone the body.
This non-invasive procedure is not a substitute for weight loss or a weight-loss treatment, but is meant to treat stubborn areas of fat, loose skin, and the appearance of cellulite.
Sentient Sculpt treatment areas
This treatment is particularly effective on stubborn areas of fat on the stomach, love handles, thighs, saddlebags, knees, back, flanks and upper arms. We can also target cellulite on the thighs, buttocks and arms while providing skin tightening effects.
Sentient Sculpt treatments target localized areas of fat and cellulite, and is most effective in stubborn areas such as:
Stomach
Love handles
Saddlebags
Knees
Back
Flank
Arms
Thighs
Buttocks
Is Sentient Sculpt treatment painful?
There is a therapeutic warmth felt underneath the skin, and the surface of the skin itself will feel cool due to the built-in cooling system. Rarely is discomfort during treatment felt.
How long does a treatment take?
Treatment times for a single session are about 10-15 minutes, and multiple areas can be treated during this time. This is quicker than most body sculpting treatments available.
How many sessions will I need?
3-5 sessions are typically recommended, however, this varies depending on the amount of desired improvement. Your treatment provider will discuss your cosmetic goals with you during your consultation appointment and determine the optimal amount of treatments.
How often should I have treatments?
3-6 weeks apart is generally recommended. During your in-depth consultation at Elite Medspa in Marion, Ohio, the best course of treatment will be decided to ensure you attain your body sculpting goals.
When will I see results?
Individual results vary, with improvements beginning to show a month after the initial treatment. More noticeable improvements begin to show after the 2nd or 3rd session.
Safety
Microwave energy at 2.45 GHz frequency is only absorbed by fat adipose cells, allowing for controlled heating underneath the skin without damaging the surface.
80% of the energy is absorbed by the layers of fat, with only 20% of the energy reaching the dermis. The cooling system counteracts the heat reaching the surface of the skin to eliminate the chance of damage and ensure patient comfort. This reduces the risk of potential side effects such as burning and inflammation.
Your treatment provider will also be able to control the depth the energy penetrates for the appropriate the areas.
Are there any contraindications?
Sentient Sculpt is not suitable for people with the following conditions:
Pregnancy
Heart failure
Metal implants or pacemakers
Severe clotting disorders
Organ transplants
Current or recent cancer
Severe vascular disease
Skin disease in the treatment area
Uncontrolled diabetes
Side Effects of Sentient Sculpt
There is a chance for mild side effects, such as: itching, numbness, hardness, warmth, tenderness, redness and swelling. This subsides within a few days of treatments.
More moderate side effects, including bruising, blistering, and burns, are rare.
Liposuction
Lipo 360
Lipo 360 is a form of liposuction that refers to the area of the body being treated during the procedure. This cosmetic procedure method doesn’t indicate a certain brand or machine, but is if a patient receives liposuction on the abdomen, waist, and back, 360 degrees around the body, giving the technique its name.
This type of liposuction addresses the most common areas of concern, in the mid section of the body, making it an ideal choice for many in achieving their ideal figure.
Rebuild and reshape
This body contouring procedure is specialized for individual patients with goals to eliminate fat in the mid-section area to improve confidence when wearing bikini, shirtless, and form-fitting clothes. Lipo 360 provides instant improvements, as well as continual ones. As the skin tightens and further molds to your body post-procedure, you will begin to see your newly sculpted figure appear, revealing the final result.
An advantage to the Lipo 360 surgical procedure is that once the localized fat cells are removed, they are gone and will not come back. The reduction in body fat cells leaves you with a sleek and toned physique, while maintaining a natural look. Keeping consistent with a healthy diet and active lifestyle enhances your results and ensures they are long-term.
Treatment
The primary goal of liposuction is to remove fat deposits from sectioned areas of the body. Depending on the amount of fat removal that is performed, this outpatient procedure generally takes about 1-2 hours to complete. It can be performed as a solo surgery or paired with other cosmetic procedures, such as a tummy tuck for enhanced results.
During the procedure, very small and precise incisions are made underneath the skin to give a channel for a small hollow tube, or cannula instrument, breaking apart the targeted pockets of fat. Once broken down, your treatment provider will carefully remove them to contour and design a smooth and defined aesthetic result.
Am I a good candidate?
Although liposuction can be a great tool to shape and contour the body, you must meet these criteria to be considered a candidate for liposuction. It is also important to have realistic expectations and understand this is not a replacement for living a healthy lifestyle.

No existing medical conditions that may hinder healing process.
Staying within these criteria ensures proper healing, while lowering the risk of loose skin post-procedure.
Advantages of Liposuction:
Eliminates fat.
Permanently removes fat cells.
Reveals muscle definition.
Minimal recovery time.
Safe procedure.
Versatile treatment.
Downtime
Traditional Liposuction
Traditional liposuction can present a challenging recovery for patients that often results in discomfort the weeks following the surgery due to the manual force used to remove large amounts of fat. The initial 3 days can be the most challenging and patients often experience swelling, soreness, discomfort, and fluids draining.
Fun Sculpting
At Elite MedSpa, we offer Fun Sculpting, a liposuction technique that uses vibration-assisted technology to gently dislodge fatty tissue while leaving the surrounding tissue healthy and intact. This minimally invasive type of liposuction warrants a quicker recovery time while providing comparable results to traditional liposuction surgery. There is less swelling, bruising, and minimal bleeding.
Most patients are able to resume normal activities within a week and experience significantly less pain and discomfort with this gentler approach.
Recovery
Compression garments are beneficial following a liposuction procedure to help with tissue remodeling and to minimize swelling. Garments are to be worn for a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks following your liposuction procedure. It is crucial to continuously wear your compression garment to hold everything in place and provide longevity to your results.
You may resume work after the first week of recovery. It is important that you avoid strenuous exercise for the first 6 weeks after surgery; however, you may resume light physical activity a month post-surgery. You will start noticing optimal results within 1-3 months as your body settles into its final form.
