Sometimes, no matter how much a person exercises or controls their diet, stubborn fat remains. Some fat is impossible to remove without a surgical intervention like liposuction. Liposuction has been proven again and again to be effective at removing excess fat permanently and toning and sculpting the treated areas. Unfortunately, liposuction doesn’t treat loose, sagging skin. That’s where Renuvion comes in. Partnering liposuction with Renuvion can transform the treated areas of the body and give you the look you’ve always wanted.
What Is Liposuction & How Does It Work?
Traditional liposuction procedures involve the insertion of a cannula that is used to break up the fat, and then a vacuum is used to remove the fat cells in the treatment area. Liposuction is generally done under either general anesthesia, and patients can go home the same day to recover.
What Is Renuvion & How Does It Work?
Renuvion uses radiofrequency and plasma energy to target loose skin and works perfectly with liposuction treatments. A thin cannula wand is inserted under the skin, and energy pulses cause the skin to contract and tighten. The energy produced by the treatment also triggers collagen production, which further tightens and tones the treated area over time.
Why Should You Seek Liposuction & Renuvion Together?
Doctors often combine liposuction and Renuvion because they work hand in hand to correct excess fat and sagging skin issues in different body areas.
Depending on how much fat is removed, liposuction sometimes leaves excess skin. Over time, the skin can tighten some, but it may not shrink as much as patients like.
By using liposuction and Renuvion together, you’re able to remove fat and tighten skin all at once and achieve more toned and sculpted results. Additionally, combining the two means patients only have to undergo one treatment session since both surgical procedures can be combined and completed simultaneously.
What to Expect From Recovery
The liposuction procedure takes longer to heal than Renuvion skin tightening. Most people heal entirely in around two weeks after having both procedures completed. You may feel discomfort as well as some degree of swelling and bruising. It’s recommended you wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and maintain your results through the healing process.
Are You a Good Candidate for Liposuction & Renuvion?
If you are a good candidate for liposuction, you will likely also be approved for Renuvion. The ideal candidate for either procedure should be at or near their ideal weight and be a nonsmoker.
Additionally, although liposuction removes fat cells forever, it is possible to “undo” your results by gaining weight. For the best results, you should eat a healthy diet and participate in regular exercise.
