I'm 42 weigh 170 and I'm 5' 5", no kids, skin pretty tight and I drink collagen daily. I had lipo 360 a year ago and I was left with lumpiness and slightly loose skin. Will Renuvion or another technique get rid of this and smooth the lumps while tightening my skin back to how it was pre-lipo? I've done 5 sessions of cavitation and didn't notice a difference. Thanks!
Answer: Renuvion I doubt you will see much change with Renuvion since your skin appears more lumpy than loose. You have areas that need fat added or you can have Sculptra injections.

Answer: Over-done Lipo Thank you for submitting this. Based off of a picture, it's difficult to assess how much underlying fat is between your skin and muscles. But what can be said is that the fat was unevenly removed from your previous lipo procedure, which has resulted in what is called a "cobblestone" appearance of the subcutaneous tissues. This often times when either- surgeons are inexperienced, are overly aggressive, or are far too superficial. Depending on the degree of remaining adiposity (or fat), you may be a candidate for VASER assisted lipo in attempts to smooth out the tissue. While I am a big believer in Renuvion J-Plasma, I don't believe that you are a good candidate for the procedure. You will likely need a skin excision to ensure that there is no skin laxity, and that the skin is taught in order to further minimize the cobblestone appearance. This is a very complex case, and you should make sure that you go to a surgeon that is well versed in revision procedures. Best of luck, SS.

Answer: Renuvion to correct lumps and bumps? Thank you for your question and for sharing your pictures. Based on them, I don't believe you have a skin problem, so the need for Renuvion is unnecessary. It seems like you either had too much fat removed or not enough. An in-person consultation will be necessary to determine what is the best plan of action. But I would suggest Vaser Liposuction. It's a great procedure and device that can correct the imperfection and the "lumps & bumps" look.

Answer: Correct and poorly done Liposuction Liposuction results are permanent and more or less irreversible. Further Liposuction with Renuvion is more likely going to make things worse rather than better. Your first surgeon was overly aggressive and left you with an uneven fat distribution. There is no treatment that can restore this to a normal looking abdomen. Treatments should be based on what the primary underlying ideology is. In your case it’s an overall lack of subcutaneous fat that is also very uneven. Renuvion will not deliver enough skin tightening for you to notice a difference. I’ve used a device for a four year and neither Iowa nor any of my patients noticed any subjective or objective skin tightening whatsoever. The device is in my opinion based primarily on wishful thinking.I cannot emphasize enough the importance of vetting plastic surgeons before having permanent and irreversible procedures like liposuction. A substantial number of board-certified plastic surgeons with overall good reputations do not know how to do the procedure very well. Before having this or any procedure patients should vet providers I have a multiple in person consultations at which time they should ask each provider to open up your portfolio and show their entire collection of before and after pictures. Being shown a handful of sample pictures which most likely represent the best results of the career is totally insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like.

Being shown a handful of sample pictures which most likely represent the best results of the career is totally insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like. providers may be unwilling to show all of their before and after pictures that patients should at least try and ask to see as many pictures as possible to get a good idea of what a typical resort looks like. As providers to show examples and excellent outcomes, average outcomes and less than outcomes. I recommend all patients as providers to review their revision policy and ask what the revision rate is. Asked to see pictures of patients who needed revisions. For a vision work the process is more or less the same but they simply are no good treatments to correct your current situation. Potential options would be revision liposuction, fat transfer or converting the procedure to a skin tightening operation like a full tummy tuck. None of those are great options in your case but could potentially give some improvements depending on what you’re looking to achieve. Restoring your abdomen to pre-liposuction is not possible. I’m sorry this happened to you. I would encourage you to ask your provider for a refund and consider writing some reviews about your experience and various physician review websites.
