Does anyone have an opinion on lipo with Renuvion on thighs? (Photos)

Question

Today I had a consult where it was suggested that I get lipo on my thighs with renuvion rather than a lift. Does anyone have an opinion on this strategy?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

you do need liposuction with renuvion however, you will still have sagging and cellulite. if you combine a spiral lift you can get more out of the result. you may also have lipedema that should be managed as well long term.  consult someone who specializes in leg contouring.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear Newmexmommy,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Lower extremity Liposuction can be challenging and the procedure often does not deliver the results patients had hoped for. This is especially true for upper inner thighs on patients who have even the slightest skin laxity.  My first hand experience with Renuvion aka J Plasma  was disappointing to the point that I got rid of the equipment.  I literally did not see patients have any significant skin tightening whatsoever from this device.  I simply could not in good conscience recommend using it. This was after using the device for one year.

I’m not sure if they left is the way to go but Renuvion  will not deliver skin tightening.

Sometimes it’s better to leave good enough alone and that may be the case with your lower extremities.

On the second picture they don’t look that disproportionate to the rest of your body.

If you do opt to have liposuction on your lower extremities then make absolutely sure your provider has done lower extremity Liposuction numerous times and has before and after pictures to prove it.

Best,
