Vaser Liposuction Before and After Images in Raleigh , NC

Concern: This 27-year-old woman has lost weight recently and was concerned about the fat deposits of her abdomen and flanks and loose skin present. She sought the help of Dr. Glenn Lyle, board certified plastic surgeon in Raleigh, North Carolina. He has over 30 years of experience and offers Vaser liposuction as well as Renuvion. She had liposuction using Vaser and power assisted liposuction combined with Renuvion to her abdomen.

Solution: Vaser liposuction this a technology that uses ultrasound to disrupt fat surrounding tissues preserving blood vessels collagen structure. It can be somewhat more and refined compared to standard liposuction with some ability to improve tone in  liposuctioned areas. In many cases however patients- skin tone is lacking especially patients who have had pregnancies or recent significant weight loss. In these cases, liposuction alone can lead to loosening of the skin. Adding a skin tightening technology such as Renuvion can improve results of liposuction skin conditions. Renuvion is FDA approved for subdermal tissue coagulation- a process that heats the exposed collagen fibers which hold the skin to the underlying structures and cause them to contract or shrink. Special care and monitoring is necessary to avoid excessive scarring or burns. Helium gas is used to rapidly cool the radiofrequency energy released. Unlike other external devices that heat tissue to cause skin tightening, Renuvion is used under the skin and almost always performed with some liposuction or tunneling of the tissues before activation.

Results: Results take time to see a difference at least 3 months but at that 3 month mark she was quite happy with the outcome. Her before and after photographs of Vaser assisted liposuction with Renuvion show nice improvements her abdomen and flanks. Contour and skin tone look much better. The patient looks forward to wearing a 2 -piece bathing suits this summer!
