Posted on: July 3, 2025 in Liposuction
Liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgery that helps remove stubborn fat from specific areas of your body. It’s a great option when diet and exercise alone aren’t enough. But did you know that you can enhance your results by combining liposuction with other procedures?

What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat from targeted areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, or back. It’s not a weight loss solution, but it’s ideal for body contouring and smoothing out trouble spots.
- Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable.
- Small Incisions: Your surgeon makes small incisions in the treatment area.
- Tumescent Solution: A special fluid is injected to reduce bleeding and loosen fat.
- Fat Removal: A thin tube, called a cannula, is inserted to suction out the fat.
- Recovery: Most patients return to light activity in a few days and see results within weeks.
Liposuction can be performed on its own, but combining it with other treatments can offer more refined, natural-looking results.
How Minimally Invasive Treatments Can Enhance Results
Combining liposuction with minimally invasive skin tightening treatments is becoming increasingly popular. One of the most effective options is Renuvion®.
What Is Renuvion®?
Renuvion® is a cutting-edge treatment that tightens loose skin using helium plasma and radiofrequency (RF) energy. It works beneath the surface of your skin to shrink tissue and increase firmness without large incisions or extended downtime.
This treatment is especially helpful if you have mild to moderate skin laxity—something liposuction doesn’t treat directly. While liposuction removes fat, it doesn’t tighten the excess skin that may be left behind.
Why Combine Renuvion® with Liposuction?
Pairing Renuvion® with liposuction helps improve your overall body contour. You get fat removal and skin tightening in a single treatment plan, giving you smoother, firmer results.
Benefits of combining the two include:
- Enhanced skin tightness
- More sculpted, youthful contours
- Shorter recovery time compared to more invasive skin removal surgeries
- Natural-looking results with less scarring
This combination is ideal for areas like the arms, neck, abdomen, thighs, and lower back—places where skin may not snap back after fat is removed.
How the Procedure Works Together
If you’re having both procedures, your surgeon may perform them during the same session. After the fat is removed with liposuction, the Renuvion® device is inserted through the same tiny incisions. The device delivers controlled energy just beneath the skin, causing the tissue to contract and firm up.
The entire procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis. Most patients go home the same day and return to their regular activities within a week.
Is This Combination Right for You?
Not everyone needs or wants to combine treatments, but if you’re worried about loose skin after fat removal, it’s worth asking about Renuvion®. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity
- Want a smoother, firmer appearance after fat removal
- Are close to your goal weight
- Prefer minimally invasive options over traditional skin removal surgery
Your surgeon will help determine the best treatment plan for your goals and anatomy.
