Frequently Asked Questions
Does adding Renuvion increase my recovery time?
No. Since Renuvion is performed during your Liposuction procedure, recovery remains essentially the same as Liposuction alone. You're healing from one session while benefiting from both technologies.
How much does Renuvion add to my Liposuction cost?
Renuvion J Plasma starts at $1,500 when added to your Liposuction procedure. Final pricing depends on treatment areas and the extent of skin tightening needed.
Will I see results immediately?
You'll notice immediate skin contraction after surgery, but your best results develop over three to six months as collagen remodeling continues. The skin gradually becomes firmer and smoother, conforming beautifully to your new contours.
Can Renuvion prevent all loose skin after Liposuction?
Renuvion dramatically improves skin tightness and texture, but results depend on your starting skin quality and the amount of fat removed. Patients with good skin elasticity typically see excellent outcomes, while those with severely compromised skin may need additional treatments.
