How long after chin and neck lipo can I start RF (radio frequency) treatment to tighten my skin?

Question

How long after chin and neck lipo can I start RF (radio frequency) treatment to tighten my skin? Thanks!!!

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

People have different healing times after liposuction under the chin and on the neck, so it would be important to follow your progress to determine when radio frequency treatments could be done.  I would think for most people, this could be done by about 3 months.  Your surgeon should be able to advise you when it would be safe for you to have radio frequency treatments done.

Thank you for your good question. We have used ThermiTight after chin and neck lipo many times with excellent results. I would recommend waiting a few weeks before scheduling your procedure to give swelling time to subside completely. Once the swelling is gone, you should be able to proceed without worry over side effects or compromised results. Make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist to ensure you procedure is safe and as successful as possible.

give your body a good chance to do it’s own skin tightening which will naturally occur after lipo. I’d say two to three months is a decent amount of time to wait. Then I’d suggest RF tightening modalities as a secondary assistance to your skin contracture

The most effective radio frequency treatment is probably Jay plasma or thermi tight. These procedures are generally done in conjunction with liposuction.  External radio frequency treatments are somewhat less effective but can still help. Each provider will have their own guidelines so check with your provider.  Would be somewhat inappropriate for us to give me a recommendation on this since we did not do your surgery. For my own patients they can start within a few weeks. In order to differentiate the results from radio frequency versus the liposuction you may want to consider waiting three months.  Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.
