Chin lip with renuvion - is it a common add-on & have you seen positive results? (Photos)

Question

I am told through pics that it would be recommended for me to do the lipo in conjunction with renuvion. I've read some scary things about renuvion. I wonder oneslry if it's worth the risk at this point. I want to address the area so badly but one office I've inquired with will not do it because they don't feel I'll have a good result without it. Is renuvion a common add on to the procedure? Have you seen positive results with it?

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Tough to see from the limited photos and the angles they are at. You have quite a bit of submental fat, and it looks like some skin laxity as well. You should be seen in person, but may be a candidate for submental liposuction and skin tightening. When doing this, I do not recommend using renuvion for the skin tightening. I personally use facetite and morpheus, which use radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin and I find to be more predictable and safer than renuvion/J plasma.

Hello. Unfortunately, chin liposuction will not work for you. You will have a lot of sagging and loose skin. Then you will have a loose turkey neck. If it is about the lip, do not be afraid, you can have a very easy and beautiful successful surgery. For your neck, you have no choice but neck lift. I’m the only triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon all around Europe. I’m just focused on this issue. I am a doctor who goes to almost every country in the world and explains my techniques to important doctors with the seminar invitations I receive, so I am definitely the only doctor who can perform your operation very comfortably and successfully. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile (+90 539 204 40 90). You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.

Hello, thanks for your question and photos. You are a candidate for Chin Liposuction. The procedure consists of inserting tiny cannulas that will extract the fat in the area. With J-Plasma/Renuvion, you will have tightened skin with non-visible scars. Liposuction will help you to get rid of the double chin. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon for a physical exam. Good luck!

From the limited photographs, you have extensive fat deposits in the neck located both above and below the platysma muscle in the neck. Liposuction alone will only improve the fat deposits above the muscle which will be ineffective.  You're going to need a neck lift procedure to remove the significant fat compartments below the muscle which also includes a platysma-plasty to significantly improve the jawline in addition to liposuction to remove the fat deposits above the muscle. Your BMI should be less than 30 before considering this surgical procedure.

The most important valuable is always who does the procedure. In other words your goal is to find the most talented and experienced surgeon.
This Trump‘s the equipment used every time 100%.
If something was clearly superior then all plastic surgeons would be using them.
I personally used Renuvion after purchasing the device for about a year. I literally saw no skin tightening and have since sold the device.
I recommend having multiple in person consultations and avoiding virtual consultations whenever possible.
During in person consultations ask each provider to show their entire collection of chin and neck liposuction results. Ask them especially to show pictures who have similar characteristics to your own. an experienced provider should have no difficulty showing you at least 40 or more sets of the before and after pictures for this commonly done procedure. Haily experience providers will have hundreds of before and after pictures.
The goal is to see what average results look like not what the best results look like during the providers career which is most likely what they will show you as example or sample pictures.
This is why you need to be an advocate for yourself and push the provider to open up the portfolio and show you as many pictures as they’re willing to.
If someone claims to have done the procedure several hundred times and they should have no problem showing you 50 sets of before and after pictures.
Focus on finding the most talented and experienced surgeon and you’ll get the best assessment and quality outcome.
The appearance of your jawline and neck is made up by various tissues and this includes bone structure, subcutaneous fat, skin laxity and laxity of the underlying platysma muscle etc.
Treating one out of multiple variables will give a partial improvement.
Best,
