Lipo-shaping... When to Combine with Skin Tightening

Why Liposuction Patients Get Disappointed: Weight Loss vs. Body Sculpting

Dr. Alain Polynice explains that patients may be disappointed after liposuction when it’s used for the wrong goals or the wrong candidate. Liposuction is a body sculpting and shaping procedure, not a weight-loss solution, and there are limits to how much fat can be safely removed. Being overly aggressive—especially in patients who are overweight—can worsen skin laxity and create loose skin. He notes that liposuction alone works best when the patient has a localized trouble spot and tight, high-quality skin that can re-drape after fat removal, while areas with existing loose skin or stretch marks may require added skin tightening (such as Renuvion) or even skin excision procedures like a tummy tuck or lift. He emphasizes the importance of being close to ideal weight and having a detailed consultation.
