Why Body Contouring with Liposuction & Renuvion is Better
Posted on November 21, 2024 | by Boston Plastic Surgery
The pursuit of an ideal body contour has led many patients to consider “body contouring” or “body sculpting”—two terms for cosmetic procedures like liposuction, tummy tucks, or even CoolSculpting.
Among the plethora of options available, the combination of liposuction with Renuvion skin tightening has gained significant traction in the medical community. But what makes this duo so appealing to plastic surgeons? Let’s delve into the reasons behind this favored body sculpting approach.
1. Improved body contouring with both skin tightening and fat reduction
Combining liposuction with Renuvion skin tightening creates a synergistic effect that enhances body contouring results. Liposuction effectively removes excess fat deposits from targeted areas, but it doesn’t address the skin’s elasticity. After fat removal, especially in individuals with less skin elasticity, the skin may not retract fully, leading to sagging or uneven contours.
This is where Renuvion complements the procedure. By utilizing helium plasma and radiofrequency energy, Renuvion stimulates skin contraction and promotes collagen production, resulting in tighter and more youthful-looking contours—results that might not be achievable with liposuction alone. Patients often experience smoother transitions between treated and untreated areas, with the skin adapting more naturally to the body’s new shape.
2. Versatility across various body areas, from the neck down
The combination is not limited to a specific body part. Whether it’s the abdomen, thighs, arms, chest, or neck, liposuction and Renuvion can be effectively applied to enhance contours and tighten skin. The most popular areas for this approach at Boston Plastic Surgery include:
- The “double chin” or submental area
- The abdomen
- The arms
- The male chest
The advanced instruments used in both allow our surgeons to operate with greater precision, providing you with highly personalized body sculpting results. The procedures’ versatility also allows our surgeons to tailor your treatment plan to your individual needs and priorities, achieving harmonious results across different body areas.
3. Efficient procedure—for surgeons and for patients
Time is a valuable commodity for you. Combining liposuction with Renuvion streamlines the surgical process. Instead of scheduling separate procedures on different days—with multiple rounds of anesthesia and associated costs—the dual approach consolidates everything into one session.
Moreover, performing both procedures together can lead to improved recovery times. Renuvion is minimally invasive and can be administered during the same surgical session, using the same tiny incisions, as liposuction—so you benefit from having a single, consolidated recovery period. This reduces overall downtime and allows for a quicker return to daily activities.

4. Trusted for safety and precision
Savvy patients today are rightly concerned about the safety and efficacy of cosmetic procedures. With the host of information you can find on platforms like TikTok, you want to rest assured that you’re choosing a procedure that’s not just popular, but proven, too.
Liposuction has been one of the top 5 cosmetic surgeries for decades now, and patient safety protocols for this procedure are highly refined and well understood. Further, the technology behind Renuvion has been thoroughly tested and widely adopted by plastic surgeons across the United States since it was first FDA-cleared in 2019; even before that, it underwent several years of rigorous testing. Used alone or in combination with liposuction, Renuvion has been shown to achieve truly noteworthy results, and its safety is well-established.
