Decided as part of your liposuction plan
Which areas get Renuvion is decided when we plan your liposuction. Where the skin is firm, liposuction alone may be enough.

Body Renuvion
After liposuction, it helps skin in areas that tend to loosen, such as the upper arms, abdomen and inner thighs, shrink back.

Upper arms, abdomen, inner thighs: if you’re worried the skin will sag after fat removal
Where a lot of fat is removed or the skin is thin, the skin may not shrink back enough. In areas like these, we use Renuvion alongside liposuction.

Point 1. When the skin can’t keep up
If the skin can’t shrink to fit where the fat was removed, it sags
Skin naturally has some ability to shrink. But if a lot of fat comes out at once or the skin is thin, that may not be enough. This is often the case on the undersides of the upper arms, around the navel and on the inner thighs. Renuvion shrinks the fibrous tissue under the skin to help the skin reattach to the tissue beneath.

Point 2. Same entry points
Done right after liposuction, through the same entry points
After liposuction, the handpiece goes in through the same entry points. No new incisions are made, and it takes about 15 minutes longer per area.

Body Renuvion in detail
From here, we explain how the surgery works, recovery and what to watch for in more detail. It’s written to the standards Dr. Oh uses when he sees patients.
How we perform this surgery
02
It can also be combined with Lower Body LINE ON
In Lower Body LINE ON, which refines the thighs, buttocks and love handles in one surgery, it can also be used in areas that tend to sag, such as the inner thighs.
Who this surgery suits, and who it doesn’t
- A lot of fat needs to be removed, and you’re worried about sagging afterward
- Your skin is naturally thin or has lost elasticity
- The skin on your upper arms, abdomen or inner thighs has loosened after weight loss
When we don’t recommend it
- You have so much excess skin that it folds (surgery with incisions may suit you better)
- You’re pregnant or breastfeeding
Precautions
- The area may feel firm for a while. In most cases it softens over time.
- Rarely, a hematoma or seroma, or burns or blisters, can occur.
- You wear a compression garment for the same period as after liposuction (we’ll advise you after your examination).
Results and recovery vary from person to person. Whether a treatment suits you is decided after Dr. Oh examines you in person.
Body Renuvion: frequently asked questions
Do you use Renuvion with every liposuction?
No. If your skin is firm and not much fat is being removed, liposuction alone is often enough. We recommend it only for areas that tend to sag.
My upper arms sag a lot. Can Renuvion help?
It depends on how loose the skin is. If there’s enough excess skin to fold and hang when you raise your arm, surgery with incisions may suit you better, so we check this at your examination first.
