Your consultation
Whether meeting in person or remotely, your consultation with Mr Olivier Amar provides a comprehensive discussion of your hoped for goals and treatment options. To get the most out of your consultation, we recommend reviewing information about your area of interest beforehand.
During your consultation, Mr Olivier Amar will listen to your desired outcomes and goals, conduct a thorough assessment, present appropriate treatment options and explain procedures in detail. This will include a step-by-step surgical process, required preparation, recovery timeline, scar placement and management, anaesthesia options, and potential risks and complications.
A consultation ensures you receive comprehensive information about all options, and understand both benefits and limitations of proposed procedures. You will have the opportunity to ask as many questions as you wish before you decide the next steps together, including the option to take no action.
Personalised Approach to Fat Removal
Mr Olivier Amar specialises in fat removal and body contouring treatments, carefully developing a tailored approach to help patients achieve their ideal body silhouette. By combining advanced techniques and precise targeting, Mr Olivier Amar aims to sculpt the body for a more refined silhouette that enhances your natural body shape.
Risks associated with surgery
Every surgical procedure, while performed with the utmost care and expertise, carries inherent risks. Mr Olivier Amar ensures all patients are fully informed about potential complications before proceeding with any treatment.
General surgical risks include post-operative infection, bleeding and haematoma formation, scarring and wound healing complications, and anaesthesia related complications. During your consultation, Mr Olivier Amar will provide detailed information about procedure specific risks, explain preventive measures and safety protocols, answer all questions about potential complications and provide you with all the information needed to make an informed decision.
Preparing for Your Surgery
All surgical procedures are teamwork between the surgeon and the patient. Just as a runner trains for a marathon, preparation is key for optimal recovery.
From the time you book the procedure ensure you maintain regular, gentle exercise, follow a balanced, nutritious diet, ensure adequate sleep and rest, and manage stress levels effectively. Alcohol consumption should be reduced and smoking stopped or minimised. If a patient feels prepared for surgery, they will arrive for their procedure feeling positive which in turn will reduce any anxiety and encourage stress free recovery.
The day before surgery, our dedicated pre-assessment nursing team will reconfirm your admission time, review fasting requirements, address any last minute questions and provide final preparation instructions.
Type of anaesthesia
Minor fat removal procedures may be performed under local anaesthetic. More extensive body contouring is performed under total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA), a technique of anaesthesia which uses a combination of agents given exclusively via the intravenous route without the use of gas anaesthesia. This means you will sleep comfortably throughout the procedure and wake immediately afterwards with a significantly reduced likelihood of feeling groggy or nauseous. The anaesthesia will be explained to you by your Anaesthetist during the preoperative consultation.
Having surgery under total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) allows you to go home the same day to rest and recuperate. Alternatively, we are happy to arrange the procedure at a hospital with an overnight stay facility, organise a nurse to stay with you overnight, or assist with local accommodation arrangements. Mr Olivier Amar will discuss your anaesthesia options and aftercare support in detail during your consultation.
Recovery Guide
Renuvion and micro liposuction is a straightforward and minimally invasive procedure. As a result, there is minimal downtime required. Immediately post-surgery you can expect to experience mild pain and discomfort which can be managed by a pain killer prescription, provided on the day of surgery by your anaesthetist, if required. Bruising typically resolves within 10-20 days.
You may wear a soft, compression chin garment for 1 week to help with skin retraction, reduce swelling and support the healing process. Depending on the type of daily activities, you should be able to resume daily activities within 2-10 days and return to gentle exercise after approximately 3 weeks.
Aftercare Information
One week after surgery you will attend a nurse appointment, at this point your incision sites will be reviewed, stitches removed and initial healing will be assessed. A follow-up consultation with Mr Olivier Amar will be scheduled for six weeks after your surgery to assess your overall recovery.
It is your responsibility to attend all scheduled appointments. Failing to attend appointments or follow post-operative instructions may impact your results and final outcome. Regular monitoring ensures optimal healing progression and early detection of complications. Mr Olivier Amar will discuss the post-operative schedule in detail during your consultation.
Scar Placement and Management
Any Renuvion and micro liposuction scars are typically minimal and strategically placed. The Renuvion probe is introduced by the same incisions as liposuction, around 0.2cm in size. Small incisions will be made to under chin, close to the jawline and possibly mid neck. As a leading London based cosmetic surgeon, Mr Olivier Amar specialises in advanced scar management and prevention techniques. Leading up to your surgery or as part of your post-surgical care, a scar management protocol may be initiated using steroid injections and silicone dressings. A treatment course of Aerolase Neo laser is recommended post-surgery.
The Aerolase Neo laser treatment offers significant benefits for scar improvement:
- Stimulates natural collagen production
- Reduces scar pigmentation
- Improves skin texture and appearance
- Softens scar tissue
- Promotes tissue remodelling
- Accelerates bruise healing
Maintaining your results
The initial results can be seen immediately after surgery, however, it can take a few weeks for swelling and bruising to fully subside. The result of Renuvion and micro liposuction to neck surgery can be best appreciated after 3-6 months. You can expect progressive improvement during healing, with natural skin retraction. A combination of liposuction, dieting and exercise is key to a good result, however a good candidate for this procedure is someone who has realistic expectations and good overall health.
Some patients opt to support their results with Aerolase Neo laser treatment to face and neck for skin rejuvenation. The laser treatment stimulates natural collagen production, which is essential for improving skin firmness and elasticity, smoothing rough texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and minimising enlarged pores. Typically, most patients see noticeable results after four treatments with enhanced clearance and quality of skin occurring after each subsequent treatment. It is also recommended that you commit to wearing sun protection daily and follow an at home skincare regimen.
Is Renuvion to Neck with Micro Liposuction surgery right for you?
As we age, several changes occur in our facial and neck structure, including decreased skin elasticity and muscle relaxation. The rate we age varies from person to person and may be determined by genetic factors. The stresses of daily life, the effect of gravity and exposure to the sun can all age the face and neck. Addressing ageing concerns early can often delay the need for more extensive surgical procedures in the future, such a neck lift (lower rhytidectomy).
Ideal candidates for Renuvion to neck with micro liposuction are those who:
- Struggle with fat deposits under the chin resistant to diet and exercise
- Have loose or sagging skin in the neck area
- Seek subtle, natural looking chin and jawline definition
- Have poor skin elasticity in the neck area
- Seek improved skin appearance and firmness
- Prefer a minimally invasive approach compared to traditional neck lift surgery
- Maintain a stable, consistent body weight
- Are committed to maintaining results through healthy lifestyle
What does the procedure involve?
Renuvion treatment works by delivering controlled radiofrequency energy beneath the skin using a specialised Renuvion probe to achieve tighter, firmer skin, while leaving the surface intact. The device uses a gentle radiofrequency waveform to convert helium gas into cold plasma for simultaneous heating and cooling. When combined with targeted micro liposuction, this minimally invasive procedure delivers precise fat removal and enhanced skin tightening.
Mr Olivier Amar carefully performs manual micro liposuction to remove excess fat deposits while the Renuvion treatment stimulates collagen production and skin retraction. This combination approach ensures natural looking results with improved skin texture and firmness.
Frequently Asked Questions
HOW LONG DOES THE SURGERY TAKE?
The procedure can take between 45-60 minutes.
What are benefits of combining Renuvion and micro liposuction?
Combining Renuvion and micro liposuction brings the benefits of both skin tightening and fat removal in a single procedure. While micro liposuction removes excess fat, Renuvion tightens and firms the skin, reducing the potential for sagging or loose skin, which can sometimes occur after fat is removed. This combination leads to smoother, more youthful contours with minimal downtime.
