Am I a good candidate for Renuvion/J-Plasma skin tightening for mild chest skin laxity? (photo)

Question

I had Vaser lipo done alone on my chest a year ago and it’s left me quite hollowed out with little to no fat and moderate skin laxity. Not obviously visible but very stretchy. I’m hoping to do a non surgical procedure before considering something where I’m cutting off skin. Based on my photos, would I see decent results using Renuvion? I just want my chest to be tighter, similar to how it gets when “stimulated/cold”. I don’t want ANY more fat removed. Thanks.

Hi Meandmyeyes,Your pictures suggest you are an excellent candidate for Renuvion!  The degree of tightening is impressive, small incisions to pass the device in, little discomfort afterwards, etc.  Be sure to see an experienced user as the nuances of settings and technique are very pertinent to maximize the benefits of this amazing technology.  Best wishes, Dr. Doolabh

A combination approach would give the most improvement with Ultherapy for neck skin tightening. I recommend Ultherapy with radiofrequency treatments, lasers, microneedling/PRP, and/or Sculptra to get increased collagen, tightening and improved skin tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Good afternoon "Meandmyeyes" and thank you for your question. 
Renuvion is a wonderful tool to assist in skin contraction. After liposuction alone there is some expected skin contraction that will occur throughout the recovery period and the use of VASER can potentially improve this. Similarly to VASER, Renuvion is very much surgeon dependent as it has various settings that can be adjusted to achieve the surgeon's desired effects. 
Given your liposuction with VASER treatment occurred over a year ago I would not expect your skin elasticity to drastically imporove. In my practice I work with patients similar to yourself, or even those with even more skin elasticity. There are patients who previously would have required skin excision in addition to their liposuction, that I can now achieve with Renuvion. It is a powerful tool but is importantly dependent on surgeon experience.
Respectfully,Dr. Chris Hamamdjian

As a trainer of surgeons for the Renuvion, I think that you will might get the result you are desiring. We just conducted a study that proved that you can reliably get 80% skin tightening as described by pulling the skin off of your chest (called skin distraction test). A consultation with an experienced Renuvion user will help provide you a definitive recommendation.
