Is Lipo Cavitation/RF safe for post VSG patients?

February 8, 2021
Asked By:sashashamon in La Jolla, CA

I am a VSG patient about 4 years out. I am 24 years old. My surgeon is now retired and I don’t know who to ask. Most of my skin has sprung back into place but my arms are the only place that hasn’t. The saggy skin isn’t major and I was just looking for some tightening of the area. I am looking into lipo cavitation/RF and was wondering if it would be safe to undergo?

How long after lipo can you get RF treatment and fat cavitation?
Gerald Minniti, MD, FACS says:

Smooth results from liposuction is based on your surgeon’s training, skill, and experience. No machine can replace that. ‘Fat cavitation’ isn’t necessary if liposuction is performed. RF has no ability to meaningfully tighten skin. Go on more consults.

Am I a candidate for ultrasound cavitation and radio frequency treatments?
Gerald Minniti, MD, FACS says:

It's not your fault, years of company's and plastic surgeon's ads have suggested that the machine is important (whatever that machine is, Vaser, laser, radiofrequency, etc.), and that it is inherently better than liposuction alone, or that it tightens skin. 1. It's not the machine you pick t...
