Lipo 360 with Renuvion - what can I expect from the recovery?

Hello and thank you for your question!

Recovery after Lipo360 with Renuvion (also known as J-Plasma) can vary depending on the extent of the procedure. The recovery will mainly be from the lipo as the renuvion does not increase the reocvery time, but your surgeon’s explanation is accurate and aligns with what many patients experience.

After this type of treatment, it’s normal to feel tightness, pulling, or mild tugging sensations under the skin as the tissues heal and contract. Renuvion uses a combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to tighten the collagen beneath the skin, so those sensations are actually part of the healing and remodeling process.

You may also notice skin sensitivity or temporary numbness in treated areas for several weeks to a few months. This occurs as small sensory nerves recover from the liposuction and energy-based tightening. Most patients find that these sensations gradually fade over time.

Typical recovery includes: Wearing compression garments for at least 4–6 weeks to reduce swelling and support skin retraction. Mild to moderate soreness, swelling, or bruising during the first couple of weeks.
Gradual improvement in contour and skin tone over 3–6 months as collagen remodeling continues.

At 60 years old and in good health, you can expect a safe and effective recovery as long as you follow your surgeon’s postoperative instructions. Thanks again for the question and good luck with your journey!
