Would I do fine with regular lipo, or need tightening? (Photos)

When deciding between regular liposuction and skin-tightening options like FaceTite or Renuvion, the best approach depends on how much natural elasticity your skin still has.

At 30 years old, many people still have fairly good skin elasticity, meaning the skin can retract nicely after fat removal — especially if the fullness is primarily due to fat and not significant skin laxity. However, if the skin under the chin feels a bit soft or loose (as it sometimes can after weight fluctuations), then adding a tightening treatment can help achieve a sharper contour and prevent mild sagging later on.

If your second surgeon evaluated you in person and felt confident that you would do well with regular liposuction alone, that’s a very reasonable option. Skin-tightening devices like Renuvion or FaceTite can improve definition, but they’re not always essential, especially for younger patients or those with good skin tone.

In short — if your concern is mostly fullness rather than excess skin, regular liposuction may be enough. If you prefer the most defined, snatched result and don’t mind the additional cost, combining it with a tightening device can enhance the outcome, but it isn’t always medically necessary.

Each body responds a little differently, so it’s worth weighing the expected results, your budget, and the surgeon’s experience with each method.

Based on your post photos, I recommend a virtual consultation for a better understanding. My recommendation would be the combination of liposuction with the Endo. Laser fee would range from $3500-$5000. Best of virtual consult with.
