What is Liposuction + Renuvion?
Liposuction is a well-known procedure that removes excess fat from targeted areas of the body, improving overall contour and shape. However, after fat removal, the skin may tend to sag or lose its elasticity, especially in areas with significant fat loss.
Renuvion solves this problem by combining radiofrequency (RF) energy and helium in a unique handheld device. When this device is inserted under the skin, it stimulates collagen production and contracts tissue, tightening the skin for a more toned, smooth appearance.
Areas that can be treated with Renuvion®:
- Jowls and drooping jawline
- Neck
- Upper Arms
- Bra and back rolls
- Inner and outer thighs
- Flanks
- Abdomen
Liposuction + Renuvion Benefits
- Removes excess fat while simultaneously tightening the skin.
- Results in a smoother, firmer body with better proportions.
- Small incisions and less downtime than traditional surgery.
- Renuvion reduces the need for a separate skin removal procedure.
- Most patients can resume daily activities within a few weeks.
- The collagen-boosting effects continue to tighten the skin for months.
Good Candidates for Liposuction + Renuvion
Liposuction + Renuvion is ideal for patients who have pockets of excess fat and mild to moderate skin laxity. If you have good skin elasticity and are looking for a way to tighten your skin after fat removal, this treatment could be right for you. However, a more extensive skin removal procedure may be recommended for those with significant amounts of loose skin or excess fat. Dr. Atalla will assess your needs during your consultation and provide personalized recommendations.
Preparing for Liposuction + Renuvion
Before your procedure, Dr. Atalla will discuss your goals, medical history, and expectations. You will be asked to:
- Avoid smoking for several weeks before surgery to promote better healing.
- Adjust any medications that may affect your surgery, such as blood thinners.
- Undergo a thorough evaluation to ensure you're a good candidate for the procedure.
Liposuction + Renuvion Procedure
Dr. Atalla will first perform liposuction to remove excess fat using a small cannula. The tunnels remaining after liposuction are filled with helium then RF energy is applied. This causes the tissue to contract, and the body’s natural healing process is triggered, generating new collagen in the tissue and resulting in tighter, smoother contours.
Renuvion® is performed in the operating room under general anesthetic and combined with liposuction. Several areas of the face and body can be treated during the procedure. Renuvion® with liposuction helps to tighten the lax skin after the fat has been removed.
Liposuction + Renuvion Recovery
Renuvion® causes an immediate contraction of skin tissue, resulting in some preliminary skin tightening immediately after treatment, but it takes several months to see the full results of Renuvion®. After a Renuvion® treatment, you can experience some bruising and swelling for the first week.
Pain and swelling are usually minimal. Dr. Atalla will use a compression garment to help minimize swelling and speed healing. Healing time varies by patient, but most patients can return to work after a few days and back to normal activities within a few weeks.
Results of Liposuction + Renuvion
The results from Liposuction and Renuvion are immediately noticeable, with improved contour and some initial skin tightening. However, the full results become evident over several months as collagen rebuilds and tightens the skin. The combination of fat removal and skin tightening produces a firmer, smoother, and more youthful body contour.
Liposuction + Renuvion Combination Procedures
For optimal results, Liposuction and Renuvion can be combined with other body contouring procedures, such as:
Fat Transfer
Adding volume to areas like the buttocks or breasts after fat removal.
Tummy Tuck
Tightening the abdominal area after fat is removed.
Mommy Makeover
A full-body transformation that addresses areas affected by pregnancy, including the abdomen, breasts, and thighs.
What to Expect From a Liposuction + Renuvion Consultation
Dr. Atalla will discuss your goals, examine areas of concern, and explain the treatment process, including expected results, recovery time, and risks. You will also be able to ask questions and view before-and-after photos of previous patients.
