Liposuction in combination with Renuvion is for those who maintain a steady weight, but still have pockets of unwanted fat, sagging skin and sub-optimal skin elasticity on the abdomen, outer and inner thighs or arms. The aim of the procedure is to reduce excess skin and fat, without the cutting of skin, leaving you with a smoother, firmer and more defined look, with less scarring and a shorter recovery time.
Mr Olivier Amar’s high definition body contouring uses power assisted liposuction in conjunction with a radiofrequency powered energy to remove unwanted fat and tighten excess skin. Rather than simply removing fat, high-definition body contouring helps to attain a sculpted silhouette, boost skin retraction and tightening without the cutting of skin. High-definition body contouring by liposuction and Renuvion can delay or replace the need for more invasive surgery, such as arm lift, mini tummy tuck or thigh lift surgery.
Using radio frequency energy powered by helium plasma, Renuvion applies bursts of highly controlled heat to the underlying tissues to achieve tighter, firmer skin, while leaving the surface intact.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE PROCEDURE?
Helped by a powered assisted liposuction machine, Mr Olivier Amar takes care to remove superficial fat in such a way as to ensure the skin retracts appropriately for a natural, smooth and toned appearance. During treatment, small incisions of around 0.5cm will be made. A specialist cannula uses movement and vibration to break down the fat before it is sucked out.
A single use Renuvion probe is inserted below the skin and the skin is treated with multiple passes. Using radio frequency energy powered by helium plasma, Renuvion applies bursts of highly controlled heat to the underlying tissues to achieve tighter, firmer skin. The result is an energy that is unique in its ability to provide tissue heating and cooling almost simultaneously.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HIGH DEFINITION BODY CONTOURING SURGERY?
- Smoother skin.
- Tighten and lift skin.
- Diminish shadows and dimples caused by cellulite.
- Create a more youthful appearance.
- Stimulate production of collagen and elastin.
- Improved and healthier texture of the skin.
- Reduce fine lines, wrinkles and crepiness of the skin.
- Smaller scars.
HOW LONG DOES THE SURGERY TAKE?
The length of the procedure varies according to how extensive the body surgery is and may take between 60-150 minutes.
WILL I HAVE OBVIOUS SCARS FOLLOWING HIGH-DEFINITION BODY CONTOURING SURGERY?
Any liposuction and Renuvion scars are minimal. They can be hidden in the natural creases of the body and are difficult to see in most patients. The Renuvion probe is introduced by the same incisions as liposuction, small incisions of around 0.5cm.
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?
- The chin and neck area
- Upper and lower abdomen
- Inner and outer thighs
- Back and underside of arms
- Buttocks
- Flanks
HOW DO I ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULT?
A combination of wearing your compression garment, maintaining a steady weight, following your aftercare instructions and attending your post-operative appointments is key to achieving the best result. It is vital that you follow all the aftercare instructions issued to help aid the scarring process.
