Question

Johnny Franco, MD, FACS · Answer

Plastic surgery continues to evolve as technology continues to improve and this leads to increasing effectiveness and overall treatment options for patients.  One new frontier in plastic surgery is skin tightening, while this is not new, there are some significant advancements that have been made that have led to improved treatments for patients.  One of these innovations is a device called Renuvion, it was also called J-Plasma before it was redesigned specifically for aesthetic treatments. 
Renuvion (J-Plasma) is a radiofrequency energy device that also combines helium to induce skin tightening.  The device includes a cannula that is placed under the skin (similar to a liposuction cannula) which allows higher amounts of energy as it avoids the concern for trauma to the superficial skin.  The second unique feature of the Renuvion is the addition of the helium, the combination allows for the radiofrequency energy to heat the skin quickly and almost instantaneously be cooled to increase the safety of the device.  It also allows for a more efficient treatment, which is important when combining the treatment with other larger body contouring surgeries such as a Brazilian Butt Lift.

In my practice Renuvion (J-Plasma) is most commonly used in combination with liposculpting procedures such as a Brazilian Butt Lift.  It can also be used in the neck in combination with liposuction for patients that want to improve their appearance, but are not ready for a necklift yet.  Liposuction is an incredible way to enhance the shape of the body or neck, however a patient’s results are dependent on the skin to contract.  In patient with loose skin or stretch marks there will likely be a limit to the skin contracture after liposuction, thus limiting the overall results of the procedure.  However, if we can remove the fat and tighten the skin simultaneously we have opened up the procedure to patients that were not previously a candidate for liposuction.

It is important to know that Renuvion (J-Plasma) is not a replacement for a tummy tuck, neck lift or other surgical procedure that removes excess skin.  However, it is a great option for patients who are not ready or don’t need these larger procedures, but have some loose skin that will not be treated with liposuction.

It is important to discuss Renuvion (J-Plasma) with your Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon as they can help guide you to the best treatment to reach your aesthetic goals.

Hello,

Thank you for your question and photo. It is unlikely that a Plastic Surgeon will guarantee a great result as each person responds uniquely to a procedure. Having said that, based on the photo that you have provided, I am inclined to believe that you are a good candidate for skin tightening with Renuvion. 
An in person or video evaluation will provide you a personalized plan and a better expectation of the likely result. Hope this helps!
Best, 
Dr. Babak Moein

Nothing in life is guaranteed, except for the fact that we will all die at some point. Each person's body will respond differently to treatments as we are all different. These devices are all just tools which will provide different results in different hands. The most important thing is that you find a physician who has extensive experience in performing the procedures you are interested in. This will give you the greatest likelihood of getting optimal results. Best wishes.

Thank you for your question and posting your pictures. Renuvion is a terrific device for tightening tissue and the formation of new collagen. An in-person consultation would be needed to examine your abdomen more closely to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure. I am a bit concerned about the irregularities that are apparent in your photo.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
